Comments about Plant Protection Tents:
I didn't realize how awkward it is to access my raised beds using my old tent-style covers, until I got this one and easily zipped it open to weed the bed. No more struggling to fit the cover back onto the bed when I'd taken it off to get at the plants.
Instead of using the stakes provided with this to hold it down (there wasn't enough solid soil to put them into in the box), I put screws directly into the wood frame of the bed and anchored the tabs at each corner of the tent to them.
I've bought a second one for another bed. Looking forward to easy picking for my strawberries this summer!

Comments about Plant Protection Tents:
I was impressed with the tents. The zippers on two sides work well and allow easy access to the plants inside. The tents are satisfactory quality for their price. I will buy replacement protection tents when the ones I'm using now wear out.
Pros

- Reduces Number Of Pests
Cons
- Don't Fit 3x3 Beds
- Poles Beak Easily
- Test Poles Flimsy

Comments about Plant Protection Tents:
When I first purchased the 2 tents, I was excited. They would not fit over the outside of the 3x3 boxes so I had to put them inside the boxes. This made them less sturdy, but I was still happy and wrote a good review. Shortly after the first month one tent had a pole snap. There was no wind. Called customer service and got a free replacement pole. I was still happy. A week later the new pole snapped and the other tent had a pole that snapped too. Called for free replacement poles. When the new poles arrived, I put them thru small flexible plastic pipes at the top of the tent. Next day both tents had broken poles again. I wanted these tents to work. Went to camping stores and tried to find fiberglass tent poles, but none were small enough. I finally gave up. I am not happy. The square 3X3 pop-ups were better even if you had to take them off to harvest. Too bad mine expired after 4 years and I can't get replacements.

Comments about Plant Protection Tents:
Like its appearance and ease of use with the zippers. However, hot temperatures (90 degrees plus) made two of the poles snap last summer. I had to buy a another one this spring in hopes that the upcoming summer heat will NOT break this one. Absolutely need one to protect my garden from deer, groundhogs and other critters.

Comments about Plant Protection Tents:
I really wanted this product to work so was disappointed that it was a struggle to get the tents up. Worse, a metal connector that joined the pole segments broke after one day of use.

Comments about Plant Protection Tents:
I planted a poly garden cart with lettuces (so I can move it to shade when the summer sun gets too intense). This completely covers the cart to keep pests out of newly emerging plants, yet lets in the sun and water. It is featherweight, so will be easy to move with the cart. I can think of lots of other uses for it too.
Pros
- Easy To Use
Cons
- Limited Range

Comments about Plant Protection Tents:
This is a good concept, but parts must be replacable.
