I have never seen such tent before. What is the purpouse of them?
I would reccon it will act just as a shade cloth for the tree. I have seen a lot of bonsai setups with shade cloth from the baikoen bonsai club in Los Angeles. I guess similar climate but another side of the continent?
Some members of the baikoen bonsai club means that shade cloth and misting systems is absolutely necessary to make bonsai survive. Althou I doubt that, I am quite sure it can be beneficial for some species that prefere more shade. The first that comes to my mind is azaleas.

Hello , it is a patio covered by very fine screen the front is screen ,one side is screened the back is a wall ,the other side is open to my covered patio . It is a 10’ x 10’ square the top or ceiling is all screen . Sun and rain come through the screen I believe it will help protect plants that can’t take our extreme heat and humidity in the long summer. And I think I can leave plants that don’t need full sun all day out there.

Ok, we have plenty of mosqitos here, but I have never seen such screened patios anywhere.
I would think that black net would not protect from heat nor humidity. Just from direct sun.
So hot and humid but partially shaded. I would think ficus is a good option. They cannot take frost, so inside in winter.
