Call them a screen room, screen house, lodge, gazebo, or arbor; these camping accessories offer shade relief from the sun and refuge from bugs. A screenhouse is just a canopy with mesh walls, and price depends on the quality of the materials used. If escaping insects is a priority, choose a screen room with no-see-um meshing.
