Canopies, Gazebos and Shelters

Great

Very pleased with the canopy's ease and functionality. I would guess mine was a second or a return, as there was minor black streaking on the top in one area, but the dramatically reduced price still made it a great bargain.

Perfect 10x10 canopy!

We just used this canopy for the first time yesterday. It's difficult to express just how EASY it goes up and comes down. It's extremely stable and well made. We experienced 30mph wind gusts and the included anchors held it firmly in place. We are completely thrilled with the value of this purchase and highly recommend it.

I have used the canopy twice now at art fairs. It is very easy to set up (with two people), and looks very good. However something I did not know about these canopies is that they are NOT waterproof. When it rained during my first fair, the rain came right through the fabric... So bring an extra tarp along.

Great sun protection

This tent is meant entirely to be sun protection and slight rain protection. It will not hold up to strong or gusty wind. I am still very pleased with my purchase though as in those conditions I will not be going to the Fair or Festival. One should always take alternate cover/protection for their goods in case of sudden weather changes. I am starting my third season with it. Not sure what other buyers expected for a canopy under $100.

The gazebo canopy looks great and the price was less than the big box stores. It arrived in great condition and in great time. This is why I do my shopping at Amazon!

When I ordered the replacement canopy I thought it would take a while to receive but it came right away. I had no trouble installing the canopy and it looks great! The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I thought it would be thicker.

I received this item quicker than expected. I was a little surprised to see that it was green. It does say its green in the main description but in the product details it says it Tan, which is what I wanted. I decided to risk it, and its GREEN! However, its a much better quality material than the tan ones I've gotten before, and so I'm sure it will hold up much longer.All in all its a great replacement cover for the money.

I bought this canopy for a graduation party. Compared to others, it seemed to have pretty uniformly good reviews. I agree. It is easy to set up - possibly on your own, but even easier with an assistant (my 9 year old daughter loves setting it up with me). I'm not sure I'd leave it set up overnight if rain or winds projected - it doesn't seem intended to be storm-resistant. But it is so easy to set up and take down, it is a great alternative to umbrellas for shade. It stores away nicely. My only negative comment would be the steep shipping price ($36). I did see a similar canopy on sale at some of the home stores a few weeks AFTER our party (thus no help to me) a bit cheaper than the list price here, let alone once shipping paid, but overall a good value even at the $90+ price with shipping

We take this canopy everywhere. To the beach, camping, family gatherings. It creates enough shade. It is easily set up and taken down and stores in its own canvas bag.

So far so good

Put the canopy up the day before a big storm hit in Southern California and it held through the storm. So far so good. It looks very nice - better than the $80 ones we had purchased previously. It does pool water in two places when it rains - have to dump it out to protect the tent. The only thing I didn't like was the shipping charge - added to the cost of the item quite a bit.

This canopy was good for the price. It does not appear to made for continuous use over the long term. I do not intend to leave it up all season long, but rather as needed. It stores neatly in my shed when not in use, in the carrying bag.

As most folks recommend, this is fairly easy to set up with two folks. I can set it up alone, working carefully so as not to bend the legs or frame.

This tent was worth the money, even given the nearly fifty dollar shipping cost. It's obviously not made with the highest quality materials, but treated with care, it should work for several events. I bought it to use at a wedding and for shade at an annual summer picnic. It is pretty easy to set up also, though I recommend having at least three people, and ideally four, to do so.

This was very easy to set up with just two of us. We didn't even use the ropes to tie it down seeing the day we used it there was no wind.....we just used the pegs that go in the footings holding it in the ground.

We have own an EZup tent now for over 4 yrs. Ours was a 12x15 escort and loved it. When we saw this tent 10x20 and for ther price we couldn't let it go. When it arrived we took it outside and had to inspect it because what we paid for this tent was the same price we paid for the smaller one. This tent looks better and is lighter then our other one. Great buy and have told several of our friends to look into getting one.

I ordered this shade to cover my childrens play area. The material is very nice. Nice hardware attached to ends too. This is a 18x18 shade and I only needed an 18x12 coverage, so I had to return it. But exchanged it for a 16' triangle shade instead. Same material and I couldn't be happier. If you need a shade this big I highly recommend it.

It's an Easy Solution for Providing Shade 

Reviewed by: Carol Berendsen, Oakland, CA
Review Date: 2009-09-27

I've been involved in outdoor events (swim meets, soccer games, job fairs, health fairs, picnics and more) for many years. I've used all the shade solutions--the easy pop-up and the more permanent assemble-on-the-spot types. I've seen them all collapse due to rain and wind and understand that ALL shade structures are vulnerable to the elements. I don't expect miracles from shade structures.

I love the Quick Clamp Canopy. It's portable, easy to set up especially in confined areas, it is extremely flexible and two people can do it quickly. We've used it on tables with ease and success. But what it can do that other canopy designs can't is clamp on to bleachers!! What a treat to be able to sit in the shade in bleachers! If the weather gets a little dicey, we just take it down.

Reviewed by: Julie Wilkins,
Review Date: 2010-01-20

This shelter is sturdy enough but I gave it a 3 star because it isn't very user friendly. The canopy should have been cut a couple of inches longer and wider because it fits over the metal frame and secures with velcro this would be fine except it is cut so skimpy that I could not actually secure it all the way round because it wasn't full cut enough. And one end that goes over the ridge pole had to be left unsecured because the canopy needs to be about 1 to 2 inches longer as well. So except for this annoying aspect it was ok.

Terrible product unless you don't want protection

I thought this would be the perfect camping solution - easy protection for the picnic table without having to set up a separate tarp with poles and/or strung from trees. While a bit heavy, it's OK for car camping and folds up relatively compactly (about a 40"x8" package). It was even pretty simple to put up (although the continuous velcro attachment was sort of annoying). So far, so good. And then during the night it rained. Water collected in the tarp and ultimately brought the whole thing down. The clamp bent to an unusable degree, and two of the (cheaply made) plastic connectors broke. So not so good. But I thought I'd figure out some way to drain the water as it collected in the tarp and also call ShelterLogic and get replacement parts. Silly me. When I called, I was told that these parts were not available. Ever. And that "acts of nature" (rain) weren't covered under the warranty. I don't know, I suppose that if they actually advertised this as a shelter from sun only, it'd be one thing. But they don't. So I'll never buy another ShelterLogic product again.
