5.0 out of 5 stars Good canopy for its price range, July 13, 2008

By	B. Farrell (Ontario, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I attend a lot of outdoor dog agility trials during the year up here in the northeast. At dog shows it's always bring-your-own shade. I need something that is not too heavy to lug from the van, easy to setup and take down, shade me & the dogs from the sun and hold up to the elements (rain & wind).

I was replacing an old, heavy, EZ-Up after the canopy ripped and one of the release buttons "got lost" inside the leg.

I have used the Swiss Gear canopy 5 times now in intense sun, heavy rain, and LIGHT wind. It is very easy to setup and take down - love the fact that there are no steel buttons to push in (and pinch your fingers) when you are releasing the canopy downwards. The duffel bag is designed well and expands a little, making it easy to stuff the canopy back into it. (Note, like all canopies, it's still going to take 2 people to set it up and take it down.)

The coated canopy keeps the inside MUCH cooler than standard white canopies. I always use the guyouts to tiedown the canopy and stake down the legs - it has stood up well to light wind and heavy rain, but the steel frame doesn't seem sturdy enough to trust it in heavier winds. (The EZ-Up stood up well in high winds)

I think this is an excellent product for this price category. In this price range it seems to be better made and sturdier than most other "cheap" ones I see at the shows. If you don't mind looking like you're the first-aid station (the red cross) <g> - go for it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Swiss Gear 10x10' canopy, December 8, 2008

By	Shirley Jean "SUNGLOW" (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews

I am extremely pleased with the 10 x 10' canopy I ordered from Swiss Gear. It is very easy to set up (can be done alone, but is much easier with two people). It is great quality and comes with the stakes if you are using it on grass. I recommend purchasing 4 cinderblocks to use at the corners if there are extreme winds. It comes in an attractive rolling, zippered bag and lifts right out. The actual canopy material is high grade and has 8 velcro straps for extra protection around the horizontal poles at the top, once the canopy is on. It is just as easy to disassemble and put back into the rolling bag. Price is great and I'll enjoy using it for years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Product, June 18, 2008

By	M. Colantuoni (Blauvelt, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This canopy is sturdy and well made. It is very easy to set up and take down. We have used it several times and it has work great. It keeps you out of the sun and rain, looks good and keeps you cool! With the wind shield in place it has been our favorite piece of event equipment.
