On the second time I used this, what started as a nice calm fall day started to get a little too windy. I had several people come over to help me and my wife take down the canopy. But the arms that turn the 10 x 10 base into a 13 x 13 canopy cantilever and lock into place, and when you take the canopy down, it's important to push those arms up before pushing the canopy together. Unfortunately, my helpers started moving inward as soon as I had released the center lock (and before I could tell them about the arms) and two of the main bars snapped in the middle from the stress. So, now I have yet another useless awning. This one just died faster than any of the others, which is a shame, as it had a lot of nice features: Pluses: The PopLock is relatively easy to use, and no more pinched skin opening or closing it (you do have to be in the center of the canopy to use it, which means crawling under a low canopy, or pushing up on a tall canopy). And in order to lock it, you are basically lifting up the canopy (or at least half of it). But you can also move it a few feet by yourself (if you are strong enough to lift the weight and tall enough) just by pushing up on the center. The vented top works well, both for releasing heat, and letting moderate wind escape. The aluminized coating also keeps it cooler underneath than a non-coated tap. There are two sets of stakes, one heavy set for the legs, and one lighter one for the corner ties. You can make the canopy secure in wind stronger than the canopy structure can withstand. Minuses: It is pretty heavy, and long when folded. I can't carry it across the back of my mid-sized SUV. Those aforementioned cantilever arms make quick takedown more difficult. The top vent is a separate piece of cloth, and the little arms that hold it on are a bit fiddly. You have to make sure it is on correctly before erecting the rest of the canopy, since you won't be able to reach it when it's fully open. And while it is a nice "fuse", this piece does blow off with strong winds, I would recommend it, but with some caveats. 1) It is more sensitive to wind than similarly priced 10 x 10 canopies (but it offers quite a bit more area). 2) You need to have experienced people help you take it down to prevent damage. 3) It's pretty heavy. And big when folded.

I can setup and take down with one person.

One of the lag frames was bent so we couldn’t easily assemble the tent

Only set it up once, but I was able to do it myself.

Very easy to open up. Much better than a cheaper one i got last year. Love the hex tool to tighten the joint screws..heavy too, sturdy..

TENTS WERE EXACTLY AS THEY LOOKED IN ADVERTISEMENT SATISFIED WITH PURCHASE FAMILY WANTS TO USE FOR THERE EVENTS!!

We have only used it once so far but it was so easy to put up and take down. So far, worth the money.

I bought this canopy in august 2021 and It is barely November 2021 and it already has rips in it. Their customer service is also no help. I would not recommend this brand and go with EZUP next time

We have an older Coleman tent and needed another tent because of COVID and social distancing. This tent FAR exceeded our expectations ! Very easy to put up and take down. Excellent quality!

Great little canopy. Easy up easy down
