Allen Company Vanish Instant Roof

Yep, no more getting turded on while in the tree stand!! All I can say is This Baby works perfectly!! I actually can't wait for it to rain the next time I'm out, lol.. Easy to install, has enough circumference to keep you out of a bad situation, light weight, does what it's intended for. It's a tree, hunting umbrella. What else is there to know.... The price is a great value, cuz you won't be pooped on anymore... Priceless!! I Will be buying more of these.

GREAT addition to the tree stand set up! Easy to carry around and set up at different locations if needed. 100% recommend to anyone that wants to sit in the rain. Got slightly wet because rain was coming down sideways but overall kept me dry. Will purchase a second one to use!

Quality is decent but the snaps where the straps go to tie around the tree won’t stay snapped so I super glued the snaps now it works as it should shouldn’t get wet this archery season !!

Got this for my hunting husband for the days he stays home because of the rain. I didn’t think about it keeping him going even in the rain hahaha. (Wives understand the struggle of keeping a hunter at home)Get this! definitely works! It covers a large area so he can keep his compound bow dry

Very easy to setup. Nice packable size and weight. Good coverage over your hunting area.I was out in moderate to heavy at times rain with a light wind and this held up great. I can tell it will not stand up to strong gusts but it is an umbrella, not a semi-permanent structure!This was perfect for keeping the rain out of my face and my gear reasonably covered. Would definitely recommend for the price.

Absolutely love this cover. I know I didn’t set it up right but it held up during both Hurricane Debby and Helene in 2024. Stayed up extended in the tree stand both times. It’s kept me dry while in the stand so I can definitely say this fella has done its job and then some.

I’ve owned at least a half dozen hunting umbrellas over the past 30+ years. Some sold by this company (Allen), and also some other brands. I “assume” they’re all made by one company and marketed under different names. Regardless of that, they’ve all been flimsy, finicky devices at best. They’re made using lightweight materials (by design), and they definitely won’t stand up to heavy rain, wet snow, or moderate to high winds. However, if you hunt from a tree stand, ladder stand (or even on the ground), these umbrellas are an essential piece of equipment.My new umbrella arrived missing three of the six straps used to secure it to the tree. I should have received a short, medium, and long strap for each side of the umbrella. I only received straps for one side, which makes the umbrella 100% useless. Fortunately, I have some leftover straps from an older (failed) umbrella, so I’ll be able to use those in the future.The umbrella mounting bracket was also problem. The mounting disc/grip stripped the threads on the screw shaft the first time I tried to use it. Couldn’t screw it completely into the tree, couldn’t screw it back out of the tree. Useless. Of course, all this happened in the woods, in the rain! Shame on me for not doing a proper inventory and testing the umbrella before heading out hunting! Buyer beware.I’ve had similar issues with the screw-in mounting bracket with other umbrellas in the past. I was able to fix the problem by adding an additional locking nut on each side of the mounting disc, and applying a couple drops of permatex thread seal before reassembly (see picture). Chalk it all up to a crappy design, that has never been improved/perfected.However… the real question is… why market/sell a device that needs to be “fixed” by the customer before it can actually be used. Allen Company could just as easily add locking nuts to their product during assembly. As for the additional couple cents that would add to production cost…I’d be willing to pay an additional couple bucks for an umbrella I could use right out of the box. As for the missing straps…? Guess I’ll just buy a different brand next time. See if they know how to count.

Exactly what I ordered and it does what I wanted it to.
