Instant. Quick. Fast. Speedy… your freestanding popup mosquito net screen tent sets up in one second!

The SansBug freestanding mosquito net screen tent is the quickest tent you’ve ever pitched.  Simply slide off the elastic strap and toss up – bug free in one second!  It has noseeum netting so it even stops midges and bedbugs.

We are honored to have endorsements from two of America’s legends in the outdoor world:

Cliff Jacobson, wilderness expert and America’s most published outdoors author:

At well under 100 dollars, these screen tents are a bargain. They are not toys – with the well-designed tarp in place, properly staked and guyed, they should withstand a long, heavy rain. I am impressed by the full coverage fly: it stakes right to the ground – no short “cap fly” for wind to get under. I think these tents, combined with the full fly will be as stormproof and bug-proof as tents that cost much more. Another plus, are the heavy-duty elastic stake loops, which keep things tight when the fly expands due to rain. In all, I think you have an excellent product here, albeit one designed for casual camping – namely, the kind of camping most people, and Scouts do.

 J. Wayne Fears, master outdoorsman and nationally-acclaimed outdoors writer:

I just returned from a trip into a swampy lowland to do wildlife photography. I was accompanied by master outdoorsman Medrick “Sgt. Pop” Northrop. The area is noted for mosquitoes, gnats and ticks. To say we were most pleased with the protection/comfort the SansBug shelters gave us would be an understatement. The SansBug is lightweight, quick and easy to set up, has comfortable dimensions and is well thought-out so that it can be used in conjunction with a cot, on a boat deck or, as we did, on the ground. Insect protection, especially in mosquito country, is a must for health reasons as well as comfort and the SansBug does the job. Both Medrick and I enjoyed testing the SansBug and look forward to using them on a planned canoe trip into the Okefenokee Swamp next year where camping is done on wooden platforms.

How do you use your SansBug?

In addition to being the quickest tent you’ve pitched, the SansBug is the most versatile tent.  It has been used by the military in conflict zones to tanning in your backyard and everything in between…  like a catio or reptile enclosure!

Reached the scout summer camp near midnight?  No problem.  You don’t need to spend an hour to set up the troop tent in the dark.  Your sleeping arrangements will be ready with a toss of your SansBug mosquito tent.  It pops open faster than you can say hakuna matata!

Using an ancient mosquito bar or netting draped over poles in a canvas tent?  The mosquitoes can still come in through the gaps in the floorboards or under the netting.  The SansBug screen tent has an attached floor so it’s totally enclosed to protect you from flying critters, creepy crawlies or slithering snakes.  You also don’t need to hunt for a spot to suspend or tie up your freestanding mosquito net!

Claustrophobic?  The SansBug bed net allows you to sit up unlike the army issued bed nets in which you can only lie down.  It’s also more than 3 feet wide so you can comfortably sleep without fear of touching the sides and being bit through the mesh.  Seen and read: 100 times better than standard US army issue!

RV camping?  You don’t need to set up the large screen house.  Pop open the SansBug 3-person screen room to accommodate about 4 people for a meal or a game of cards.

Which is better – a mosquito net tent that fits perfectly on a cot or one that hangs over the cot?

The SansBug 1-person mosquito tent has to be bigger than a cot; if it was the same size, you would touch the netting and be bit!  The overhang over a cot is a good thing – the farther the netting is away from you the better.  Being larger does not impact the ability to use it on a cot.  Moreover, you don’t need to secure it to the cot; when you’re not inside, just the weight of your sleeping bag is sufficient to make it stay on the cot.

“Purchased this tent for use at a 30 day military training exercise in Death Valley, CA… This pop tent is wider that the standard military cot which is a benefit because it allows you to store items safely without rolling over on them while sleeping.”

“The thinner models may satisfy the type A personalities when they look at it fitting on the cot, but I feel the thinner ones make me feel a little claustrophobic. Plus, on hot summer nights (and we are getting some scorchers), I can push my sleeping bag off the edge of the cot and it stays in the SansBug so when it drops to 64 degrees at 2:00 AM, I can still reach it and pull it back up.”

“The narrow tents may look like they fit the cot better but can be claustrophobic and don’t hold the clean change of clothes and gear a Scout often needs when they wake up.  I, personally, feel the thinner tents are like the difference between a regular sleeping bag and a mummy bag – too claustrophobic.”
