REI Co-op Westward Shelter

Location

About this item

A screened room for your campsite. The Westward gives you 100 square feet of bug-free space with a 7-foot peak — tall enough to walk around in, and sized to drop right over a standard picnic table. Mesh on all four sides means you keep the view and the breeze while the mosquitoes, gnats, and yellowjackets stay outside. Two walk-through doors on opposite sides make it easy to move in and out without disturbing everyone, and both can be tied fully open when the bugs aren't the problem and the heat is. It's floorless, so it works over a picnic table, a fire ring area, or bare ground, and it's freestanding — set it up, then reposition it to fit your site. Sturdy fiberglass poles in a simple X frame make for a solid structure, though it's a substantial shelter and goes up much easier with two people.
