Hi Keith,
The cheapest way I've found so far is to get an old frame tent(s), discard the tent but use the frame, covered in the cheapest mesh that your local garden centre sells.
If you have a branch of Freecycle in your area (if you haven't heard of it, a national scheme to pass round unwanted items without payment. Like ebay but without the money)(and the weirdos) you should be able to find an old tent or two. Or if you work in a big office, or know anyone who does, they usually have internal noticeboards on which you could ask for old frame tents.
Best of luck with it!
