Clam pavillion

I just received my new "Clam Pavillion" outdoor screen room. The Pavillion is the best model in my opinion. It is almost an R-dome, but doesn't slide into the keder rail. It is a 6 sided, 12.5 foot diameter. It has "no see-um" screening on it, and comes with attached rain flies that zip open/closed (just like the dome). They boast a 45 second set up time, but i'd plan more on 5 minutes. I hope to use mine labor day weekend. I still love the dome, but this will go over the picnic table area and supply a shady, bug free, dry area to sit and eat, maybe to grill under as well. I'll update how it works out if anyone is interested.

I'm sure they didn't figure staking time into that 45-second estimate. We can get our Escape model open and free-standing in 45-seconds, but then we have to open the door braces and pound stakes.

Just a quick update. I put up the clam last night as a trial run before next weekend. It's a little bulky to handle, but it's really easy to set up.  I had watched a video on their website before attempting, so I had a real good idea how to do it. The space inside was nice and big. It has zip open/close rain panels on it, and each panel has a small window incase you want to see out, yet everyone cant see in. My first impression is it's going to be a great asset.
