A stiff supportive covering with an attached net-like material that forms a tent-like enclosure for protection from flying insects when the stiff supportive covering is positioned atop a conventional umbrella in an open position and the net-like material is extended to the ground. The stiff supportive covering is preferably a circular-shaped plastic material and defines a relatively small circular opening permitting passage therethrough of the uppermost end of the conventional portable umbrella\s supporting pole. The net-like material is attached about the circumference of the covering and has a length sufficient to extend to the ground. The net-like material has a plurality of weights attached at a lower edge thereby to retain the net-like material in contact with the ground. The net-like material may be rolled and secured atop the covering, thereby permitting the umbrella to be used without the tent-like enclosure while still maintaining the net-like material atop the umbrella for quick and easy unrolling thereof. Alternatively, the covering with the rolled and secured net-like material may be removed from atop the umbrella and stored or carried under one\s arm or with a detachable carrying strap.

A screen apparatus adapted to form an enclosure when positioned atop an open umbrella, the screen apparatus comprising: a stiff plastic supportive covering having a circumference and defining a centrally located opening adapted to permit passage there-through of an uppermost end of an elongated supporting pole of the umbrella, wherein the supportive covering is substantially rigid for evenly distributing the weight of the screen apparatus over spokes of the open umbrella wherein the supportive covering is dome shaped to conform to a top of the open umbrella; a rectangular piece of netting having an upper edge, a lower edge, a first side edge and a second side edge, a length sufficient to circumvent the circumference of the supportive covering and a width adapted to sufficiently span the distance between the supportive covering and the ground when the supportive covering is positioned atop the open umbrella, the upper edge being fixedly attached about the circumference of the supportive covering, the first side edge along the width being joined to the second side edge along the width, thereby defining a cylinder about the circumference of the supportive covering; a plurality of weights fixedly attached at predetermined locations about the lower edge; and wherein the lower edge with the plurality of weights is rollable toward the supportive covering and releasably securable atop the supportive covering for storage and subsequent release for unrolling toward the ground to form the enclosure beneath the supportive covering for protection from flying insects.
