We live on a lake and of course many bugs live here as well. We bought the outdoor room tent so we can sit on our patio overlooking the lake and not worry about being eaten alive by the bugs. The tent works great for this. We have large patio chairs and a table inside the tent and enjoy the lake without bugs. Our little dog sits in there with us and I know she’s protected from the bugs as well. We haven’t had it long but so far we love it.
