What is the quality of the canvas & screening: on a scale of 1-10 with ten being heavy (most durable), what would you rate it?

vinyl or canvas or whatever it is is splitting. my dog is only 23 pounds. there is splitting and i don't know where to get it fixed.

The canvas and screening seem very durable and I would rate it 9-10. I use it for 2 small hyper dogs (25lbs.) total weight and when they see something or someone they get very excited and scratch on the inside of the screen wanting to get out. I use the stroller often and so far no damage has occurred.

Please take into consideration that my dog, Calvin, who uses this stroller is small-ish and older (10 yr old dachshund; about 18 lbs.) so he doesn't inflict much stress on the stroller, however, I would give the screen a 9. It is a little flexible so nose-pushing and a little excited scratching doesn't affect it. Please note that it can be tough getting the zipper back together when completely unzipping the screen. It's a good idea to not unzip completely if you don't have a lot of patience. :)

Not durable at all. My cat had this carriage not even for six months and the seems broke apart on the roof of all places making the carriage useless and threw it out

I would give it a 8. I have 2 mini doxies and they do not bother the screen and seem to be able to see out of it just fine. I have not had any problems with the stroller at all.

I would rate the canvas quality at least an 8. I use my stroller daily for my little 14 year old Shih Tzu. She really doesn't move around and there is little to no wear and tear.

I'm not sure if our definitions of heavy are the same. I am satisfied with the quality, it's more than adequate and has worked well at keeping my dog in and others out with no sign of wear.

It's not heavy canvas but it is durable. The screen is a soft fabric and seems durable. We love the stroller. Our 2 Dachshunds (total of 35 lbs) love being in it and sitting up high.

I had an OK time with it, but I did have another person helping me. This wallpaper is fairly durable and paint goes over it really well. It does have a heavy texture...for me, it was perfect.

None of today's tents are as big as they are rated, so without throwing a tape down on it I can't say for certain. The space inside is all very usable. I can also say that I have three of these, and they are by far the best quality ten man tents I've owned. I've used all three on 4 separate multi- day events (11 days being the longest), and they are all still in great shape. Not Mil-spec, but the best I've found in a couple of years.

It is very durable. I love mine. I just put it onto the scale and there are 21 pounds of books in it and I use it almost daily. I cannot speak for 30 to 50 pounds because 20 to 25 is what I cart around with me. Heavy leather, sturdy buckles and rings for either a shoulder strap, or what I use, the hand grip. Holds up far better than any leather brief case I've used.

I purchased a Coleman 10*10 canopy and a Swiss Gear 10*10 screening (by a mistake). The scree was soft. It has ooks to hang around the canopy. I did not measure if the screen is exactly 10*10. It worms well with the Coleman 10*10 canopy. I hope this helps.

Hello Jocelyn: I am not familiar with any screen for that tent so cannot answer that. But, I can say that I've used it about 15 times now on the beach and it's holding up nicely. The key is to watch the videos on YouTube and practice it a few times until set up and take down is smooth and easy. Once you learn to do that you'll love it. But if you don't practice until perfect it'll be hard and maybe frustrating. It really opens in seconds. The key is to use all the spikes to keep it tied down nicely.

If you google portable movie screen you will find many options as well as prices. My screen looks like a theater screen, and hangs on a metal frame. It's heavy but assembles fairly quickly. The inflatables are easier but require power and make noise. They are lighter and come in basic as well as fun Disney shapes if you have kids. Some screens even float. Sound for me has been the biggest challenge. I went with a sound bar and long cables.

Yes the canvas is heavy duty. This is a fantastic stroller. My 22 pound Shih Tzu loves it.

It can be handled easily however each time you move it you take a chance of damaging the screen material or the coating on the frame. Storage would seem to be a problem. This screen is like a piece of furniture. It looks good in place. If you need to to set up and take down after each use I would get a portable roll up screen. This type protects itself and takes up far less space.

Hi depends on the quality ...but i got like 40-50 otherwise it hard to keep them in mind because there is no any display)))

I would agree that a 10x12 setup is best. I used my Backdrop Alley system successfully with this screen.

it feels like a nice thick canvas and it is lined in plastic so it should be water resistant. It's definitely not a flimsy cloth- should last a long time. I love it!

The screen fabirc is good, I don't know holes per inch but I would say that it has kept me comfortable in grassy fields (I haven't used it in woods). There are gaps however where the door zips into the floor of the tent so if there were many bugs and they were real hungry they could get in -- I just sprayed some Neem oil around the openings when I used it.This is a large and easy to put up screen tent. I love the design and I have broken (weather or poor manufacturing) EZ-ups and many other screen houses. Although I love this, it doesn't seem that sturdy: Fiberglass poles can split and the fabric isn't the toughest -- but it has survived into its second year of dog shows with me.i d The screen fabirc is good, I don't know holes per inch but I would say that it has kept me comfortable in grassy fields (I haven't used it in woods).

The 10x12 canvas I purchased has a weight of 15 pounds. The 10x12 canvas measures out to 13.33 yards. This comes out to 18oz per sq. Yard. I am very happy with the quality and price.

It a a really really good "middle" quality canvas material. It is not plastic, but not the high end canvas used commercially.

I can't vouch for how well it will hold up against a big dog, but my cats have scratched at it and climbed on it and they haven't been able to even dent the screening. I would give it a try if I were you. I recommend that you go with narrow spline because this screening is thicker than standard screening, so you have to work a bit to get the spline into the frame. I installed mine 14 months ago and it looks as good as new.

The rice paper is very fragile. On the other hand, I have moved it a handful of times trying to get the screen in an aesthetically pleasing position and it's held up pretty well. Cats have a mind of there own though. Hope this helps.
