First Up, can buy either or screens or solid sides, block sun or bugs. Purchased two other brands and neither one finished the trip before the leg hardware went bad and each were hard to put up. They come in different sizes also. JMHO


My feet are fine as long as they are traveling.

tried some befor, the screen tent part was ok but the legs/post gave out real quick a little breese and they bent real easy.

Ozark screen tent from Wally World has been OK for us but I won't leave it up in strong winds. Fairly compact case.

We've been using EZ-Ups, or some that very closely resemble them, at our church every Sunday for years now. They work good.

Hexagon tents by Eureka

We just got this screen tent. It went up quick and put away easy-everything fit in the carry case for a change! It was surprisingly roomy and it's got the no-seeum screens.

I'd recommend the Kelty 10x10 screened tent. Excellent strength-to-weight ratio (the tent only weights 12 LBS and change, far lighter than many competitor's tents) and 2 large access doors. Will set up over/accommodate a picnic table:

It's way cheaper to buy it in the US, at around ~~ $139

Good luck,

That Eureka one is cool, looks like a person could stand up in it too. There are a few others like it by other brands at the bottom of that link page too.
