Good canopy for the price
I have had this canopy for about 6 weeks now, so I am ready to give an honest review. First off, some of the negative reviewers have to keep perspective. This is a two hundred dollar canopy. Too many people on Amazon think they can get $500 quality for $200. People need to keep perspective. Do not think it will survive high winds. Do not keep it out for days on end. It WILL NOT SURVIVE. A good backyard canopy that can withstand high winds and be left out is probably a $1500 minimum. You aren't getting that for $200. This is temporary shelter.First off, what threw me when it arrived is that the box said "Standard". I was like, "Wait, I ordered the Ez Pop Up...". I went to Eurmax website. This tent IS the Standard model, but the ad does not say that. If you zoom in on the bag, it will say "Standard". So that threw me at first. No big deal there. I got the tent described in the ad, it just never lists it as the Standard model.My wife and I use this in the backyard on nice days so we can sit out and get some fresh air. It is perfect for that. We do not leave it out overnight, nor do we put it up if it is windy. It won't handle that. I am thinking maybe up to a 10 mph wind max , even with sand bags or tie downs. Remember, it's basically a big parachute. If a strong wind gets hold of it, it is going to get damaged.It is pretty easy to put up with two people. The top latches take a little bit of muscle to secure, but after you do it a couple times you get the hang of it. I found that if you stand on the outside of the pole and push the latch up with one hand while pushing down on the top of the frame at the same time works best, but that is just me. I am sure everyone has their own technique. I find the secret to getting the legs to latch is that while you are extending the leg, don't keep the leg on the ground and push the top up, because the top of the tent wants to force it back down under it's own weight. This makes it difficult to open the leg all the way until it latches. So lift the leg off the ground (it's light enough) and extend the bottom part of the leg downward until it latches. At this point the leg will be at an angle, and the tent will be cocked funny, but leave it like that as it reduces tension on the canopy. But again.. find your own technique, I am just telling you how I do it. There may be better ways.You CAN put this up with only one person. The first few times I tried, I was unsuccessful and thought "no way". But after doing it a few times, I figured it out. It CAN be done. But here is the thing. One person can't pull the legs apart far enough by themselves. So I have to open the legs as wide as I can, which is only a little more than half way, then crawl under the frame and push up from the center to force the legs out the rest of the way. Then I use the two techniques described above to secure the latches. It takes maybe 5 minutes to put it up, without hurrying. With that said, I am 5'10 165 lbs and in good shape. So NOT everyone is going to be able to crawl under the frame and push up from the center. I am just saying that it CAN be done by one person.Taking it down is a snap and can be done by only one person, no problem. If you aren't taking the canopy off, it literally comes down in about 30 seconds. Which is nice in case winds or a storm come out of nowhere.The canopy itself is medium weight. It is still too new for me to comment on how strong it is. I left it out in a light rain and it did not leak. Although I did make sure i kept the water from pooling at the edges. I would not count on it in a heavy rain. I think water will pool at the edges and tear the canopy.Finally, the bag is heavy duty and when you first see it, it is weird because it is missing one of the sides, where the wheels are. I was like what the heck? But after a couple times, I realized it was ingeniously engineered. It makes it REALLY easy to put the frame in and out of the bag without having to wrestle with the frame. Just fold the frame (leave it standing upright) and slide the bag over the top of the frame and down It slides right in. Slip the metal brace under the legs, velcro it snug and off you go. You don't even need to take the canopy off. The bag is big enough to fit the frame AND the canopy, which is nice. You never have to lift the frame. Which is great because the frame probably weighs about 50 pounds. But with the ease of putting it in the bag and the bag being on wheels, you never have to deal with the full 50Lbs unless you literally need to carry it. My wife has no problem bringing this in and out of the garage. You aren't going to be able to roll this thing through sand, so don't think you are getting it to the beach without carrying it.For $200, this thing is fine. Again, keep perspective. Understand what you are buying. This is temporary shelter. Harsh weather will ruin it. But it exactly as advertised. If you need something quick and easy to put up in the backyard or camping, this works just fine.

Superior engineering, and many accessories available
I needed temporary shelter once a week, for about 3 hrs, for a class taught outdoors. This tent was not the most expensive, and not the cheapest, but moderately priced. I hoped it would do the job. I assumed it was made in China, as everything else is, so I was pleasantly surprised to discover that these are made in the US. There is no assembly required at all, other than putting on the (light-weight) canvas top. They recommend you take the canvas off after each use, but I have not done that. The whole thing goes in the bag easily, and saves a lot of time.Eurmax has a more expensive model, but I bought the 10x10 Standard, and it has exceeded my expectations. The design, engineering, and production are first rate. An added bonus is that they have a good website, where you can buy accessories directly, and I have done that. I bought a sidewall kit, and use one of the walls to block the Eastern sun. If you use a sidewall, you will absolutely have to hold the tent down, or it will sail away with any wind greater than 10 mph. It comes with sandbags, but that is not enough. I bought tent stakes, and those have made the difference. If you use it on concrete, they sell weights that fit around the legs (they are expensive). If you use more than one tent (I have two), they sell connectors to hook two tents together. That adds a lot of stability. With all these options, this has turned out to be a very cost-effective way to create a tall, temporary shelter of 200 sq ft.Two people can put these up and down, but four people makes it easy. I can put them up by myself by looping a steel cable from my trailer hitch, around one leg of the tent, and back to the hitch. I can do that in less than 5 mins. With 2-4 people, it takes about one min.I have not used these tents in the rain, and hope not to. If you do, you had better have a sidewall kit, as rain will blow in. The tents are very tall.

Very sturdy, ease of set up. Very long when folded
This is a very sturdy tent and has a few little extras to help it in the wind. Have not had to worry about the wind so unknown how well the extras work. These are just extras Velcro straps to attach the top.Set up easy with two persons. Just seconds and it is up. With one persons it is a bit harder but what works for me is get to get it opened a bit then to get under/into the middle and lift the center bar up which then lifts the tent of the ground and expands the entire unit. Go around and lock all in place and done.My only hit on this is that when stored in the cover which is very heavy duty and great the unit is much longer then most other tents of the same size. I would guess it is 18 to 24 inches longer then a typical 10 x 10 tent. If this is a issue for you then be aware

What a great Canopy Tent!
I was concerned about spending $200 for a canopy tent but it is amazing. It was so simple to setup and take down with just my wife and me. The carrying case is a durable fabric and has great rolling wheels. I would highly recommend spending the extra money on quality.

Sturdy and high quality
Great quality so far. We’ve set it up for our cross country team many times, the last time in high winds and it held up great! Highly recommend.

Very sturdy & Excellent Customer Service
Just got it at the end of summer here in the PNW, so can't speak to the durability long-term, but it appears to be a much stronger frame than our other brands (we have four). There was a defective part in the original one we ordered and Customer Service, via email, was fast and we had the new part at no charge. We'll be back for more next year...

Bring on more summer!!
Very impressed with the look and feel of this model.Easy to set up, durable assembly parts, smooth heavy duty powder coated steel framework.Would be real great for commercial use. Of course would reccomend using the weighted sand bags as weather allows etc. For peace of mind.Solid carrying case, with wheels is very handy.A little pricier than the imitators out there, but well worth the extra bucks for better quality.If you want a real deal, this checks off all the boxes!!But good luck trying to reach this company if you want to order accessories

Highly Recommended
I needed something that I could set up and take down myself and this is the perfect product. I just open it a little, place a spike in one of the feet and then proceed to open it up. Opens as if it was on wheels and pulleys. And taking it down is even easier. I highly recommend this canopy. FYI I am a senior.

i of course can't answer to wear but expect it to follow the excellent rest of the package. I was surprised by the quality of this canopy. heavy duty but easy for an 80 yr & 68yr to do (after reading the excellent instructions and a bit of practice. my rv won't take an awning but covers it fine.

Deluxe Tent
Was easy to put up except getting the material over the center pole. Once done though, it looks great, much better than the less expensive models. The clips and Velcro fastenings are superior. The sand bags for windy conditions are a nice touch. We left the covering in place when we folded it back up and put in the bag. No problem fitting it back in.
