Anyone Use This Type Shelter?

I can see using this type of shelter. It’s rigged closer to the ground in storms, but I’m skeptical it would be dry enough to sleep in.

I slept in a similar shelter for a seven night river trip two years back. The nylon tab that receives the cross pole on my bridge hammock broke while setting it up, and I was forced to seek shelter in my Eureka bug shelter for the rest of the trip. It rained several nights, and the wind blew a slight amount of rain through the netting. I zipped up my Gortex jacket and slipped the foot of my sleeping bag into it. Stayed dry and comfy. This was early spring, so there wasn’t really any crawling creatures to enter the floorless shelter. This experience was pleasant and I wouldn’t feel put out if I had to rely on it again.
