Swiss Gear® Smart Shade Screen House
Never worry about finding shade on a hot summer day again! Setup of this portable screen house couldn’t be easier — no tools required! Removable walls let you choose between a bugfree screen room or a spacious shady spot. The wheeled duffle makes it easy to store and tote. Steel frame, heavy-duty polyester walls, UV/fade-resistant, water-repellent. 10” x 10” x 115”.

Somehow, 10 inches, by 10 inches, by 115 inches doesn't sound like a very "spacious shady spot" to me.

Ha! too funny! (I do think it means the wheeled duffle is that size) but still funny! I have 400points to use - no clue what to get. :(

10 inches X 10 inches X 115 inches doesn't sound very spacious. ;)

I was letting you guys know that you had a typo on the flyer. I can't imagine anyone fitting inside a tent that 10 inches X 10 inches X 115 inches. Do you know the correct dimensions of the tent?

Ha ha. You didn't form it in the phrase of a question. Maybe it's kinda like Jeopardy and they thought that was the answer and she had to respond w/ a question??
 
That is to funny... I needed a laugh this morning and that was great!
Hope everyone has a good day
 
Oh, Sheila I so needed that. And I love Bill Engval so that is even funnier.
