Uses for Screen Houses
Everyone knows a screen house can be used for many things. A day at the park, day camping at the lake, the outdoor party or bar-b-que at your home. Screen tents are available in many different styles and configurations. Basically, a portable tent that is screened on all sides with a solid roof. Some models are available with roll up walls to provide extra wind and rain protection and awnings for shade. Most are light weight, easy to assemble and offer protection from those pesky biting bugs.

Our perspective on the history of Trek tents. Mr. Smith has 40 years experience in the tent industry. as an executive vice president and co owner of Camel Manufacturing and owner of Leisure Life (USA) Inc. Much of Mr. Smith’s life has been devoted to the design and manufacturing of camping tents.
The Trek line, from Leisure Life, include canvas and synthetic fabric tents and range in cost from low to medium-high price points. Mainly targeted toward affordable large family camping tents, Trek has also focused on smaller tents used for backpacking and four season expedition quality dome tents. Even though the competition is strong,
Trek continues to provide high quality tents at very competitive price points. Mr. Smith has found a niche calling in manufacturing tents for the U.S. Military. Strong success has come with a patented tent used by the Marines in Iraq and Afghanistan. No larger than your frying pan when collapsed, this tent replaces a traditional one person tent. The requirement that military tents be made in the USA, have provided Leisure Life another opportunity to succeed in the camping tent arena. Mr. Smith also holds a patent for a 3 room tent with gazebo.

Utilizing a screen house or screen tent for camping may not be as unusual as you think. As a screen tent is usually used for picnics, parties, weddings or a day at the beach, they can be also be used for day and night shelters while camping. Even while using a standard camping tent, a screen house makes a great addition for serving meals, to provide shade or storing extra gear during your trip.
Camping in warmer climates demands a tent with lots of screen area for the cool night air to flow freely through. Having full air flow can make your camping trip much more comfortable.
Modern screen tents are available with awnings that can be zipped closed for wall use, such as the Trek Canvas screen tent. These tents also provide wind and rain protection when having the walls closed. Rain flies for that unexpected downpour and to provide extra shade to your screen tent roof. A fly can make a tremendous difference on the amount of heat transferred through the roof.
