About Paha Qué
Paha Qué Wilderness Inc. is a young and innovative company that makes high-quality family camping tents. Campers love them, but when they first see the name in print, they pause and wonder just how to pronounce it and try to understand its meaning. You won't find it in any dictionary and there have been debates amongst linguists about its derivation. According to the legend behind the term, Paha Qué is the Southwest Indian version of "Aloha." Paha Qué takes it to mean "happy trails." It can mean hello, good-bye, how are you, have a good day, and more. Perhaps a variation on the Spanish phrase Qué Pasa? The people at Paha Qué learned it from a local rancher friend whose grandpa learned it from local Indians. It boils down to the fact that the name is surely different, and appropriately so because these tents are very different from ordinary tents.

Damn good wind protection, but be careful! - speede541, Apr 24, 2008

If you've been to the Sea Otter Classic in Monterey, you know how wet and windy it can get at times. After the '07 fiasco, I researched wind shelters and the Paha Que Screen Room came out on top, short of some ultra-pricey mountaineering domes.

It's packed in a large nylon carry bag, with a separate heavy duty bag for the large-diameter aluminum poles. This second bag has a small exterior pocket for stakes. Total weight is about 23 pounds. Assembly was a breeze for two people. I watched the video on the website, and armed with this knowledge we had it up in just minutes, without referring to the instructions.

This year at Sea Otter, winds were intense, but the 10' x 10' Screen Room mostly met the challenge. It stood for four days, on the top of an unprotected ridge. The worst day my buddiy's pocket doohickie measured sustained winds to 20 MPH with gusts to who know what. It was likely even worse than indicated. It was mayhem at the campsites and down in the venue -- sleeping tents and exhibitor shelters blowing all over. We had our Screen Room fully guyed down on three sides, with three 5-gallon water-filled buckets as additional ballast. The shelter danced a bit, but it remained standing and did an excellent job of sheltering us and our picnic table so we could sit around, cook & eat in relative comfort.

It comes with yellow plastic stakes, which worked surprisingly well, but I opted for metal blade-style (military surplus) stakes for the corner guy-lines, due to the loamy soil conditions. This shelter has two guy-lines per corner, plus two additional per side (all with good quality cord included), plus four (I think) webbing loops per side to tack the base down to the earth.

Take-down, even in windy conditions, was almost as quick and easy as set-up. Almost? Yeah: There were probably two dozen stakes that needed to be pulled up after the shelter was down. The buckets of water came in handy loosening up the dirt, easing stake removal. Pulling stakes took longer than collapsing the Screen Room and stuffing it (and poles) back into the generously-proportioned stuff-sack.

Problems? A couple worth mentioning:

- Paha Que tied some poor knots on the guy lines where they connect to plastic clips, which in turn clip to the shelter. Do yourself a favor and learn to tie a bowline knot, and retie all of theirs. One of "theirs" slipped loose on the windward side of the shelter (on a mid-section guy-line), forcing the other to take up all the strain. It couldn't handle it, and the webbing loop ripped from the fabric. It'll be a minor fix for the local tent repair shop -- no structural damage to the shelter, and it continued to withstand the pounding.

- Secondly, the micromesh bug screen is fairly delicate, and as the wind beat the side of the shelter against our enclosed table, it tore a pretty decent gash along the mesh fabric. Unfortunately, a 10-foot table inside a 10-foot shelter doesn't leave a lot of room to spare. I can't fault Paha Que for that tear... just be careful with it.

- Lastly, Paha Que sees fit to include reflective cord for the mid-section guys, but invisible-at-night black for the main corner guys. How about reflective all around? The outer cord is the stuff we kept tripping over.

It didn't rain this year, and I didn't pick up the rain fly. The Screen Room is nicely domed on top, but the fabric isn't any thicker than it need be, so I expect it will hold up well to light rain but probably drip under a heavy downpour.

All-in-all, a worthwhile purchase that should last a while. My wife was 100% opposed to it, deeming it an unnecessary expense, until she arrived at camp. She immediately saw the value in this large, sturdy, quality environmental barrier.

Awesome product. Very sturdy in all weather. - Megan Chuddley, Mar 23, 2008

I recently purchased this item and brought it with me camping in Florida. We experienced torrential downpours, Tornado warning-style winds, blazing hot days, and one very chilly evening. I must say I have never been so satisfied with a product before. This screen room was worth all the effort it was to put up and stake down. It is fairly easy to figure out how to do set up, just read the directions. The height of the ceiling inside the screen room is awesome. It kept out the rain with the help of the rain fly, which you have to buy separately (I paid about $70 after shipping and all, most places say it is unavailable but search hard and you can find it)

When it was very sunny outside it was gorgeous inside the screen house. It kept out the rain and as long as you use all the guy lines and stake down all the loops you will not have a problem. If it is really windy and you are camping somewhere where they have soft, sandy dirt, you may want to purchase addition heavy duty yellow plastic steaks instead of using the metal ones they provide you with. They probably work fine in regular soil but we were camping in the Everglades and it had rained as well so the ground was quite soft. It got really windy and we had to go around and re-stake down some sides depending on which way the wind was blowing.

This tent is really a champion. If you are concerned about price, you shouldn't be. I spent about $70 one time on a screen house from a major discount store and it lasted a few years but it was flimsy. I am so happy with the money I spent on this...it is WELL worth it!

Quality product, well designed! - Songbird, Jan 14, 2008

I purchased this screen room about a year ago, after owning an e-z up tent. I was looking for a quality tent/screen room that could withstand wind and some rain. Well, this one is a winner! It is used many weekends at dog agility trials, to keep the sun and weather at bay, while keeping myself, friends and dogs comfortable.
Ideally you do need two people to set it up, though I have done it myself on occasion.
It goes up quick, comes down quick,the sides can be just screen or have zip down water resistant fabric. Comes in a generous sized fabric bag that has a seperate little bag for the poles and stakes.
The Paha Que company offers a great warranty, which made the purchase an easy decision.
Do buy the rain fly, I think it is a useful add on.

Excellent Design and Quality - Desert Camper, Oct 03, 2006

Bought this item primarily for our back patio to keep the bugs away so we could eat outside. It was so easy to set up and take down that we ended up using it for more than just a screened patio. It worked great as our camp kitchen/eating area twice this summer, and at a family reunion also. We really love this versatile screen room and highly recommend it.
