Recommendations on easy-to-set-up small screen tents

I'm going to be looking for small screen tents to be set up next to pup. I want something more than a pup awning. Anyone have some favorite brands that set up quickly/easily and are only in the 8x8 foot range?

    I'm going to suggest you consider something larger so it can fit over a picnic table. Makes eating outdoors more comfortable. You can always pick it up with two people and move it around.

    I have this one.

    13x9 Ozark Trail Screen Room

    It is cheap, not too hard to assemble and is actually good quality. But best of all, the package is only 2' long when it's all folded. I don't have room for long packages in my van.
  • You can get an EZup type of shelter at Walmart (Ozark Trail brand) that includes the netting for a screen room. They will run you a little less than $100.
