Quik Shade Expedition 10 x 10-Foot Instant Canopy, Straight Leg Outdoor Tent, 100 Square Feet of Shade for 8-12 People - Black

I like this canopy because it's one of the few I've found where I could put it up by myself. This is because it's relatively lightweight and because the raising and locking mechanism of the eaves can be handled by one person with reasonable upper body strength. I'm a 70-year old, so these are really important considerations for me. I use the canopy at dog shows where my dogs compete. Depending on the venue, the shows are often without shade and a canopy is essential to get through the day. This canopy is not designed to withstand significant weather conditions like serious rain or wind. But if you don't expect it to withstand heavy rain or wind, it provides good shade in a relatively manageable form. Care needs to be taken with pounding the anchoring spikes through each of the feet into the ground. If the ground is very hard, for example, the spikes can sometimes be difficult to extract when the canopy is being removed -- if you rock or twist the legs to loosen the spikes in the ground, it can bend or warp the relatively lightweight metal of the legs with the unintended result of spoiling the telescoping of the legs. I've found it helpful to have something like a small crowbar or claw hammer to help extract the spikes in such a case. But after learning how to avoid the downside of the relatively lightweight materials, it's possible to realize the advantages those same lightweight materials make possible. I use the canopy a lot and I figure if it has to be replaced every couple of years, it's OK at an affordable price pro-rated over a couple of years (and with careful use, it should last longer).

For $65 this canopy was a good purchase. Instructions were clear on setting up and taking down. The first step of extending up the corner poles is a little difficult, you really need to push up hard and get the clip to snap into the hole. My wife could not do it and it took me a little more effort than I thought. After that first step the rest of the set up was a breeze. Canopy fit nice and snug over framing and material seemed to be good quality. Take down was quick and easy as well. We decided to leave the canopy on the framing while storing. The only other thing that would be nice, would be if the storage bag came with wheels. We had to carry it to our set up spot and it gets heavy after awhile. I am glad we purchased this canopy it works perfectly for our uses which is mainly a vendor tent for festivals.

So far so good with this canopy. I researched canopies for weeks and weeks before our summer beach trip, and was amazed that pretty much every canopy gets mediocre reviews. With that in mind, I decided to go with the cheapest one and I wasn't disappointed!We brought this out to the beach for four days on our week long beach trip. On the first and second day I had another person's help to set it up, which is helpful mostly for opening the canopy so the clips can be raised enough to make it taught. On the last days I was able to set it up all my myself, and it took me no more than about five minutes. Each time I decided to keep the cover in place when I folded it up, and this didn't cause any problems for packing the canopy up.I'll admit, the wind wasn't very strong this year. Last year it was pretty bad, so I don't know how it would have done there, but the 5-10 mph winds we had didn't have any effect on the canopy at all, so I'm cautiously optimistic about it.I only have two primary issues with this canopy. First, it's heavy. It's not quite as heavy as some, but it's right around the average. It wasn't too bad in my Tommy Bahama branded Wonder Wheeler cart, with a couple of beach chairs and other beach stuff for three people, though. The soft sand was tough, but it always is. The second problem I had with it was that I wish the feet had bigger stake holes. The canopy comes with these puny stakes that don't seem like they'd ever hold this thing down. I had ordered some big 10" Coleman stakes but the holes in the feet were too small for them.Other than those two minor complaints, I'm very happy with this canopy. It kept us very cool, and it was easy to set up.

I got this to use for tailgating. It is easy for put up and take down and also easy to put back into the carring case. In my opinion, the frame is built a bit "thin" which makes it feel a little flimsy but this also makes it lighter to carry, Im guessing about 40 pounds. I've only used it twice so far and am satisfied with my purchase. I did get caught in an unexpected passing rain shower and it held up very good however there were a few areas in the cover that leaked but very minimal, over we stayed dry. I think this product is great for occasional light to moderate use but if looking for something to use a lot and in all conditions, I wouldn't suggest this item. It fits my needs so I would definitely buy it again.

The product is fine for the money. If you will be needing something for OUTSIDE, buy something else that's sturdier. I will be using mine at a trade show indoors, so cheap is ok.The product description said it came with a bag with wheels. Mine came without wheels on the case. Very frustrating that they lied about that, so buyer, be ware. It's more effective to use the box they shipped it in rather than trying to get it back in the case, especially if it really doesn't make it any easier to transport.Hope that helps those of you considering this product.

Due to the straight legs! Most canopies like this have legs that angle outward. We wanted to put this right up next to our camper so I took the time to find this one with legs that go straight down. Also a nice option for events where there will be multiple canopies and limited space. Great size for camping. Easy to set up and take down. The only downside is I wish it had velcro loops on the inside to hold the cover at some points.

It provides excellent shade in very hot sun... you'd think being black it would not but it is cooler than the white ones I own. You do need to be very careful with its use. I use this weekly in the summer and if you are not careful it will break. Hang you weights from the underside of the canopy to prevent twisting in the wind. I go through many canopies over the summer for events as they are not made to be used and abused by volunteers!

El producto tiene buena calidad en su estructura, sin embargo la lona es casi del material de un paraguas o parasol. Por ende se raja con el mínimo esfuerzo. La instalación es muy complicada si no que imposible para una persona. El techo viene por SEPARADO la primera vez que se instala , y se puede dejar ya amarrado a la estructura. Si el precio es bueno lo recomiendo pues todas las opciones muestran el mismo material para el techo y esté al menos muestra mejor calidad en la estructura.

Had this up for a couple of days so I could clear out some leftover business materials for Habitat for humanity, unfortunately a little rain & wind destroyed this canopy, been trying to figure out how to collapse it to send back but running out of time to do this super waste of money and Amazon should be ashamed its labeled it as an Amazon Choice. First time of had a problem with an Amazon Choice item. Im a longtime Prime member and usually put alot of weight on their choice.

El producto llegó en perfectas condiciones y bien empacado. Los materiales se ven resistentes y de calidad. El armado fue fácil. Anteriormente he experimentado con otros toldos similares y este es mejor que los demás. Hasta ahora bien, veremos como se desarrolla con el paso del tiempo.

Even with the use of the weights, it’s very flimsy and flew out of the ground with a gust of wind and the leg is completely bent ever since

Canopy cloth is very thin, was ripped when received. No strings for poles, cloth is attached to frame only at 4 corners by velcro. Frame seems okay for the price.
