Comments about REI Screen House Rainfly:
This fly is specifically designed for REI Shelter House. Two people can quickly and easily set it up securely over the shelter house. It stops water on top as advertised. The problem is that it only has one wall flap. What the heck?!? What is the design decision not to include all 4 walls? It baffles me.
As another reviewer noted, it's not likely you will rotated the fly once it starts raining. So if the wind swirls or you guess wrong the direction of the rain, you will be unhappy.

Comments about REI Screen House Rainfly:
I went car camping at Rocky Neck in Niantic, CT. the weather was horrible. It rained heavily the entire time and the winds were approaching 20MPH. The REI Screenhouse held up and is made of GREAT QUALITY. However read the rainfly description CAREFULLY if you choose to purchase this addition. IT IS DOES NOT COVER THE ENTIRE SCREEN HOUSE. It is open on THREE sides and has a small "awning" which is helpful. Day one we were soaked but if you take a 25x25 tarp in conjunction with the awning then you can stay 100% dry and bug free. We extended the tarp over a picnic table as it DOES NOT fit inside the Screenhouse comfortably. A small card table and some camping chairs is perfect and all your equipment, etc.
Overall you can make this work in wet weather if your prepared to tweak it a bit. In dry conditions the Screenhouse is a great product and the rain fly will stop light rains with minimal wind! Hope this helps.

Comments about REI Screen House Rainfly:
used for family camping as picnic table shelter etc. Fly is allows water to drain onto 3 screen walls (fly has 1 side wall only). this meant a 2+ ft strip along interior of 3 walls was soaked.
screen house itself is a nice design. the rain fly is horrible. if you live where it rains, i would not recommend the combination.

Comments about REI Screen House Rainfly:
They should have made this fly with 4 sides so I can leave my 2 tarps at home. Yes, it is a screen house meant to keep out bugs but to keep out rain and wind would also be nice.

We purchased this after getting caught in the rain with the screen house! I know, should just purchased it to begin with! LOL
I do however like the wind shield and use it as a canopy. I would love if they made all four of the sides coverable! I can't see shifting this thing if the wind/rain comes in on any of the other threes sides.
Most screen houses are used as mess tents and would be great for leaving camp and items being somewhat securely covered and out of sight.
