Mine are Quest 10-by-10 units. I got them at Dick's Sporting Goods.
I have an insect screen for one, and a wind screen for the other. When we camp at certain lakes in The Adirondacks, there is a prevailing breeze, very nippy in the late fall, so we like the windscreen! In the early spring, we need the insect screen!

We have the blue Quest 10' by 10' cover. We also have the screens that keep the bugs out and a solid wall too. We use the solid wall as a wind/rain screen when the weather is really bad. They have worked well for us this summer. (25 days or more)

Our 10 by 10 is ok for a 4 by 8 TD, but a 12 by 12 would be nicer.

Yep, east it is. Good place to go for the leaves turning.
