Can all of the mesh areas (windows, etc.) be covered completely? I'm having a difficult time find a family camping tent for cooler nights.

Yes, we purchased this tent and used it in June for 4 day camping trip. It was our first time camping and we loved it! The tent was perfect.

The mesh areas are all covered by zipping the windows closed. This tent is now a great buy on the Walmart site.

Ok. Yes, all the windows (2) can be zippered closed. BUT THERE IS NO CLOSING THE MESH VENTILATION AREAS UNDER THE FLIES OF THE TENT. THESE ARE FAIRLY LARGE, ABOUT 2.5 feet by 1 feet high. THIS TENT DOES NOT TOTALLY CLOSE, AT LEAST THE ONE I BOUGHT FROM WALLMART -- and it is the instant 6 person dome tent, 10'x9'. The windows close yes, by zipping them closed. But the upper ventilation areas under the flies not only have any material to drape over them, they have no zippers on them. So, they cannot be closed, even when closing all the windows. This is the case in my tent, and I plan to return it because it get's 50 degrees overnight where I camp. Ok. Yes, all the windows (2) can be zippered closed.

I used the tent over a year ago so I'm not totally sure what little square you're talking about but there isn't anything in the tent that isn't covered. Nothing leaked for me and I put it together in the dark.

It's all mesh except the doors. I don't know if I would use it without the rain fly on it, but it would be great on a clear and starry night! You would defiantly want to keep the rainfly doors rolled up in the summer to get some ventilation. I've used it in teen degree temperatures and it was livable. It's certainly a sturdy tent in the wind. And snow/rain tight. Recommended.

Yes, it is small enough mesh. I took them camping with us and they were very helpful. No flies......as long as everyone remembers to put the cover back on.

The windows in the tent can be zipped closed or unzipped to allow air to flow. I made black screens to fit the side windows in the SUV by buying a roll of plastic screen, cutting them to fit window-1 inch larger and glueing round magnets onto the edges so you can have screens on the outside in order to have window rolled down a little to get the air flowing and the dark screen gives privacy. The front window we just put your basic sun screen on the inside for privacy.

I believe the answer is yes, but we did not procure or use a canopy kit with windows. The question should best be addressed to Shelter Logic.

The roof is all mesh, the cover is needed for any chance of rain, but if no chance of rain it makes a nice giant skylight. The windows are the standard mesh, fairly insect proof. The door is the standard floppy tent door, it is not framed or hinged.

Yes, they all have zippered covers from the inside; on every side of the tent, so if wanted you could almost have a screened sittin area with big views in every direction. In the summer they are good because this tent gets hot.

Hi. I haven't opened it for awhile but don't recall there being a mesh in front..We zippered it and I remember having to open it to peer out. In hindsight I would have gotten better use from a simpler umbrella style cabana- essentially a shade with two stakes. This one seemed a little claustrophobic for the kids. Good luck!

Windows zip and are a functioning part of the tent. Mesh attaches over the window opening with velcro stripes. These are great tents for hunting. Im still using one ive had for 5 seasons.

All the sides can definitely be either screen or rain flap. There are zippers on the screens at the four corners where the tent is connected to the poles. You can unzip those zippers, but I think you can only roll up the screen on the front and back of the tent, and the sides would still be screened. I am not 100% on that, since we haven't ever tried to use the tent without any screen.

Yes, only three sides. You can roll up the back side so it only has two sides too. But there is no way to close up the front like a regular camping tent would.

On the main compartment, the side windows zip up. The top of the main canopy is all mesh and it can be covered by the rain fly to "close it up". The door to the main compartment can also be zipped up to completely close. The vestibule area is all mesh...clearly for ventilation only with minimal rain cover.

No. It covers both sides and about half of each corner, but the top and bottom are exposed. However, I would buy another one.

I used this tent on a backpacking trip in West VA in August last year. Some rain, some humidity, some moderate heat. Worked perfectly for that. However, depending on where in mid CA (especially given current hot and waterless conditions), I like the notion of "mesh-ier" :^)

It does cover the entire roof of the tent, but not all of the sides. I found a good pic of the rain flu for you at this link: http://m.ebay.com/itm/321236118815 I hope that this helps!

There is no see um mesh on the outside and inside is the cover. Good tent as long as it's not snowing heavy wet snow.
