Best Screen House--Advice

[LemonTwist]

We will be coming to the Fort for the first time in 3 weeks!!! We are tent campers and are thinking that a screen house might be nice. We always see them at campsites, but have never gotten around to getting one. Just wondering which one(s) last, do well in rain, etc. Some look pretty flimsy.

Thank you!

Also, can someone please direct me to a picture of Musket Mickey?? I know I'm new around here, but I thought I'd try to make some ears!! I love reading all of your posts!! I can't wait to fall in love with FW the way you all have!!

We use two First-Up 10' x 10' Gazebo you can get at Wal-Mart instead of our RV awning

I hope your family has a great time at the Fort, and Im sure you will fall in love with it
My kids are around the same age as yours.. they love it and never want to go anywhere but the Fort..(thank goodness cause its my favorite place ) Dont know your travel dates but were heading that way in few weeks ourselves for DS birthday. We tent camp as well, maybe well run into eachother. Have a great 1st time at the fort and you might as well start planning your 2nd trip now...its very addicting

Luv, thanks for all of the great links!! I'm going to get all that from Walmart!! Lights too! I've been reading a few of the reviews on the First-Ups at Walmart and many people say that they get ruined in the slightest of wind or heavy rain. But then other people say they make it through rain just fine. Wonder if people are not staking them right???? Do you have any problems with rain/wind?

Thanks again!

Haven't told the kids yet. And it's just 3 weeks away!! They are going to go insane!!!!

Staking everything down on First Ups is the key. Get some of the heavier nail stakes (You need a minimum of 8). Stake down all four legs AND all four corner guy wires. If you are on concrete, you can go to Sport Authority and get weights for the legs.
