These pop-up food tents are essential in the summer for keeping bugs away. They’re excellent for use on the countertop in your outdoor kitchen, on a side table near the outdoor fireplace, or a picnic table at a campground! Food tents will also keep leaves, pollen, and more away from your delicious home-cooked meal so you can enjoy your dinner rather than keeping an eye on your food.
