Instant Screened Room — Episode 2: The annoyance that won't go away
Just last week, on February 20, I featured this nifty concept and I must admit I was unprepared for the onslaught of your comments, mostly scoffing and dismissive, regarding the device.
Well.
My response to dismay and annoyance on the part of others is generally that of the person who simply doesn't get it: I come back with more of the same, hoping to turn up the volume.
So get ready 'cause if you disliked last week's iteration (below)
you're gonna have some choice words for this latest, far more upscale model (top).
From the website:
- Instant Screened-In Room
So compact it can be easily carried over the shoulder, this enclosure pops open instantly thanks to its patented twist-and-fold system, transforming into a screened-in room with over 500 cubic feet of space, large enough to comfortably accommodate up to eight adults.
The room has polyester mesh sides and a covered roof to shield you from insects while allowing breezes to pass through.
The room can be secured to the ground with the 10 stakes and four 12' ropes that are included.
When its time to stow it away, the spring-steel frame folds in six easy steps.
A nylon carrying case is included.
Opened: 8' H x 8' W x 8' D.
Closed: 5" H x 36" W x 38" L.
Weighs 23 lbs.

Why, it's just lovely. I must get one or two, or five. I shall drink a mint julep in a Dixie cup under my backyard magnolia tree whilst lounging in this netted palace, and tempt the ants and laugh at the mosquitoes, all the while exulting in my unassailability.

All I can say is these things remind me of a backyard dinner with my former brother-in-law and family. They're folks who go through life with sphincters clenched in reaction to so many things. Germs, bugs, smells, footprints in the carpet, foreigners... The big problem with these net huts is that when you open the hatch to get in, the bugs come in too. So instead of having a relaxed, bug-free meal, the in-laws had to launch a full scale bug seek-and-destroy assault in our people trap. I have to think the insects got the last laugh.
