Pop up Canopy

[moke]

I know a lot of you have the pop up canopies for flea markets....I have one and it is miserable to set up......it is a real cheapie....like 50.00 on sale.
Can those of you that use one recommend a decent one that I can set up with a minimum of swearing?

I have an Easy Up. It is mis named. Should be Hard Up.

I have an Ozark Trail 10x10, its like $90 at Walmart.
Not bad for the price, i can successfully put it up on my own without a lot of help, being 6'6" helps with putting the canopy on after its opened. I just wish i had purchased a white one, even thought they are more, since its required to be white by a lot of juried shows.

I went through 3 of the EZ UPS before I found Undercover. More expensive but well worth it.

Wow, looks nice, but looking at the weight of the tent, those seem awfully heavy to be doing with one person.

I started with the Walmart cheapie EZ-Up, then the "heavier duty" EZ-Up. It was fairly easy to set up by myself, but got beat up on windy days. Last year, I bought a used Trim Line canopy. It is well worth the money although it takes a lot more time to set up. If a storm comes, I do not worry!

For an 86 year old such as me yes but 3 years ago no problem.

Regardless of the canopy used, you must have sufficient weights (45 lbs each) and use pool noodles in each corner to prevent water pooling.

They definitely lied, didn't they??

I just finished putting re-enforcement steel in three of the strut arms on mine... I think about 2 more and I will have all of the struts re-enforced... shouldn't complain too much though, I've used mine for almost 10 years,

Thank you all.....

I have an EZ-Up canopy. I have set it up and taken it down by myself many times. Just takes time. The thing I don't like is the angles legs dig in and you have to lift them to keep the canopy to open properly. I use it for fishing from the bank and for the grandson's baseball games. Ball games- have SWMBO to help.
