[Paddlewise] Shelters (but not tents)

"Hey", everyone.  I've reduced my participation to lurking for most of
this year... work and family issues have totally taken over my
free-time, with no end in sight.  My boat hasn't even touched water this
year.  :-(

Anyway,  my girls are now both teenagers, and the things that didn't
used to be an issue for them are becoming issues.  Mainly, creature
comforts while camping.  Camping out of kayaks or canoes has become out
of the question (according to them).

They are still interested in car camping, but they want me to try to do
something about the sun, rain and bugs.  I wish I had that sort of
power, but the best I can do is buy a canopy/shelter/gazebo type of
thing with no-see-um mesh and removable sides for rain protection.  It
needs to be big enough to get a picnic table under.  I've never even
been under one, much less own one.  To that end, before I start my
research... actually, I suppose this "is" starting my research .... can
anyone comment on the good vs.. the bad, features, brands, etc.  Any and
all info is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Rick
