Does the tent keep mosquitoes out?

We kept front open until it got windy then we closed the front and it kept sand out so I think it would keep bugs out too.

Somewhat. The door is not as effective as a standard zipper door, but we have very bad mosquitoes.

I have been camping with this tent a couple times in SW FLORIDA during warm and humid weather, and found the tent very comfortable and besides the mosquito I let in... mosquito free. For camping with Boy Scouts as adult leader I like how easy it is to set up and take down. Not for hiking. Have not had to deal with the rain yet. Hope that answers the question.

rain does not leak through at all. However if the wind is blowing and its raining I always pull the furniture away from the screened walls so things don't get wet. Yes bugs are kept out by the screening. We live in Minnesota and we have numerous bugs/mosquitoes etc and they don't come through the screening. We've had this screened house for years now and except for how dirty the trees above make it we have had zero issues with it. We do end up bleach?washing the roof every spring because of the dirt from leaves etc. Its been holding up very well.

Since you asked, I did a little searching (I have a lot of free time) and found several tents that have the same popup design but are enclosed with water proof material in all areas but the front, which has the bug mesh. These might be more to you liking. What I especially like about THIS tent is the openness of it. I really like the idea of feeling like I am sleeping under the stars without being chomped by bugs. And I like the side opening. Most tents open in the front. But to each his own.

yes, by having the water entered through a bug screen inlet. I drilled four,4 inch holes in the top of the barrel, then place bug screen over the holes to keep mosquitoes out. If you look on the Internet ,you will find many examples of how to keep mosquitoes out of the water barrels.

yes, the rain fly covers the entire top of the tent. You should be able to google this tent and see other pictures showing the tent with the rain fly on...(try Cabela's). You can put the rain fly on if you need to or leave it off for it too be cooler in the summer if it is not going to rain!

No. Too small. This tent is just enough for the camper to lie down and sleep without the nuisance of bugs.

Their is a window on the door and one on the back wall (opposite of door). The entire top of tent is screen material under the rainfly. If you take the rainfly off it is like sleeping under the stars.

It doesn't have an external rain fly.Also beware of using this tent in heavy winds. It will collapse.

The way the doors open the mosquitoes will get in but probably no more than any other tent. I think they would stay at the top.

It seems quite secure. We put bug repellant sticker. Also the net did not let any in. We only used the tent once so far and liked it.

There were no fruit flies where we were camping, so not sure if the mesh would keep them out. The covers did do a great job keeping the flies away from our food.

I believe it does...and the tent can close completely. The fabric is a light nylon, not really for long term outdoors unless it is a nice day for outdoor play.. No intended for outside camping. But light and fun indoors and puts away easily.

I think its for water drainage or just extra ventilation. I have been in the tent at night on the deck and havent had any issues with bugs.

Hi Dolores, fortunately, we don't have much of a mosquito problem, so I can't answer your question definitively, however, I would think the breeze and cooler air would help keep them away.

the tent itself is freestanding but the fly needs stakes to hold it out in position. I slept in a pretty heavy rain last summer on my Boundary Waters trip and stayed dry. Nice tent.

No. There is a mosquito cover available but you have to purchase it separately. You can also get a UV Sun Shade which is what we bought with it and it fully covers the tops and would keep the mosquito's away. We've ended up setting this Gocrib up in our house as a play area for our daughter. She loves it!
