Clam Screened Shelter

We own a Clam Escape XL and we love it.  If you expect to have a crowd or want to put a full size table and chairs inside then the XL is the one you probably want.  The regular Escape is somewhat smaller and the Traveler probably works best for 1-2 people.  We've had ours for a couple of years and I couldn't be more satisfied with it.  It is made very well and with high grade materials and once you've gotten the hang of taking it out of the storage bag and positioning it correctly for setup it only takes about a minute to get it up.  We also bought the wind panels which are quite useful for controlling the breeze and getting a bit of privacy.  We've used ours during steady rain and no drips or leaks appeared and I would say that wind resistance is as good or better than tents and other screen rooms.  There are a couple of downsides to consider and the first is that it's fairly heavy for a screen room.  The aluminum hubs and rods weigh quite a bit more than hollow aluminum tubes and the fabric and screen materials seem heavier than others I have owned.  I think most people could handle it.  Also, because it's always in once piece ready to deploy it is about 6 feet long when stowed in the storage bag which may make it hard to store it when traveling.  We lay it in the floor of our R179.  Lastly as you mentioned it's pretty expensive but I think the quality of the materials and construction and the ease of setup/takedown make it worth the expense.
