The one I have been using (and which the 16" dob just touches the hook), is by Oztrail and it's the popup kind. There is a pretty easy way to put them over a scope (at least a dob) and that's to put the dob down to horizontal position and slide the popup cubicle over the dob tube (with the door open) and then simply stand the cubicle up as you push the dob tube up to vertical.
With the popup ones you can't cut out the bottom because the poles are the frame and run all around the bottom. They are open at the bottom (in the middle so there is plenty of room).
I was considering a gazebo just to get abit more room under cover.
BTW, most popup toilet/shower cubicles are ventilated at the top, and the Oxtrail is too. I throw a small plastic tarp over the top to prevent rain etc from getting in if necessary, but is goo for ventilation and dew doesn't seem to get in anyway.
That BCF one has a separate pole frame that has to be assembled so be aware of that, it probably cannot be handled to drop over the top of a scope (it would come apart I think).
I will have a look at Harp's gazebo photo.
