CROWN SHADES 8x8 Pop Up Canopy - Beach Tent with One Push Setup - Easy Outdoor Sun Shade for Events, Parties, Camping - Gazebo with STO-N-Go Cover Bag, Silver Coated Top, Beige

After the last canopy I had was destroyed in a winter storm, I decided I would spend a little more and get something a little sturdier. It basically gets used as a shed in my backyard. I found this, and people were saying it was very easy to set up, so I thought okay, let's go for it. I just set it up, and I am absolutely blown away at how quickly I was able to set it up all by myself. I've raced motorcycles for several years, and I always take a canopy to the track, and I usually have at least one person to help me set it up if not more. This went up faster with just me than any canopy I've ever used with two other people helping me! I cannot believe how easy it was, and how fast it went up! I also love all the attachments that it has to keep the top on the frame, it has little tabs that slide over a button, two on each side, plus velcro tabs from each corner spar to the middle. Well worth the money, for the ease of setup alone! They even include sandbags so you can keep it secure if the wind kicks up! These guys could teach EZ-Up a thing or three!!!If you need a canopy, this is the only one to get!

I am SO glad I spent a little extra and got this tent! I was scheduled to be a vendor at a fair, and it was going to rain :-( There were cheaper options, but I have never set up a canopy before and was nervous. This tent is awesome! Very easy set up - I could have done it alone. It is sturdy and very nice. I bought a sidewall for it from the same company, and it hooked on easily. I was worried about the strong wind, and silly me didn't realize the sandbags come empty...duh, but I tied it to a tree with the extra ropes, and that probably wasn't even necessary, the stakes were enough. It held up great! At the end of the fair, my husband got stuck in traffic, and I took it down all by myself! I would definitely recommend this product!

This canopy LITERALLY takes 5 minutes to set up. Its also highly reliable and convenient. I had it up for 2 whole days for a house warming party in my backyard with no stakes. It did not fly away or move from the location initially put in. The disassembly is even faster. You can easily fit this in your car trunk, take it to parks or beaches. It covers 10 people easily under the shade. My family of 15 were sitting under it with plenty of room left. I rarely add product reviews but I just want people who are looking for a good canopy to truly understand how AMAZING this is. You will not regret it.

I like it. Just got it so we’ll see how it holds up but the first time I used it we had pop up thunderstorms and it handled the wind and rain. I didn’t want to deal with sand so I put two bricks in each bag and that worked great for weighting it down and no mess. I like how the center has a latching system. Instead of Velcro to hold the top into the frame it uses sown in clips. Clever design if they hold up. The cover is slick too. Much easier than the completely enclosed bag I’ve always gotten with these. I can set it up by myself (50ish yo guy). I think my wife could set it up by herself if she needed to.

First set-up is not easy. The positioning for the cover is difficult as finding the corners and fasting them takes time. Also pushing up the center pieces is difficult due to the cover being stretched the first time. The second and third time much easier.

I am giving 5 stars because these arrived quickly, very easy to set up ( really, two people are better than one) , the quality was much better than i anticipated considering the low price. . I set them up two days before the event to see how they performed in the wind that we have here EVERY afternoon! You MUST put the weights on each corner - I filled the bags with the heaviest rocks I could find. I did NOT buy the extra insurance offered - maybe a mistake. I advise purchasing just in case. We only had a small tear when the corner rubbed against our roof - I repaired with Gorilla tape. I also was impressed with the 8 tabs that secured the top in addition to the corner velcro ties. At our event, we also attached guy lines ( using paracord instead of the included thin cording) to the ground. This was excellent, they did not move even in the high winds. Removing the cover while windy was not easy and two persons are required to keep it from flying into the next county! I also suggest an extra roll of self-adhering velcro as the included velcro tabs are very short. They work fine , just barely. All in all, very good product and I recommend to others.

I’m very happy with my purchase of this canopy. I bought it for a vendor fair and it’s exactly the size I needed. I’ve had trouble setting up similar canopies in the past but I was able to get this one set up by myself super easily…once I realized that I had attached the canopy to the frame incorrectly the first time. I was struggling to push it up and started to think that they were lying about how easy it is to press up, but it turns out I just Velcro’s the thing on in such a way that it prevented the frame from lifting. Once I fixed it it was fine.I’m also impressed at how easy it is to pack back into the rolling bag. I was able to do it myself. I had one from a different brand before and even with my husband’s help it was hard. For the record, I’m a 5’5” woman, 116lbs, who recently finished chemotherapy so I have like no muscle tone. If I can assemble this thing on my own so can you.My only complaint is that the instructions could be more detailed. It was a pain to figure out exactly where I was supposed to Velcro what.

i'm not one to write reviews, good or bad. However, I have to say how impressed I am with this canopy. They really thought through fixing some of the pain points of these types of tents. The quality is great, easy to set up and I love that they didn't make the storage case so small you can't pack up easily. love the vent up top too as it will help keeps things cool. You can find cheaper ones but not worth it in my opinion
