I have to second Richard's recommendation on the Epco Tropicscreen. I use the floorless Epco Tropicscreen for kayak-camping in the 10,000 Islands (SW Florida) and the Everglades and it works very well. I hang a Moss tarp overhead to keep the dew and rain at bay. The only problem that I have with the floorless model is that unless the ground is perfectly flat, there are often a few small gaps between the bottom of the screen and the ground that allow some no-see-ums to find their way inside. No big deal, but eventually I will sew a foot or so of netting around the bottom to prevent this or just grow a thicker hide. The Mosquitos have never found this gap in the armor, they just dance outside of the netting above your head.
