She is aesthetically pleasing, hefty, durable AND easy to set up and take down. I left her up during a BAD thunder storm that completely demolished my cheaper canopy that was set up RIGHT beside her…and she survived and stood strong with 0 issues. I am not exaggerating when i say the cheaper canopy (which was a 2-year-old $40 OZARK Trail canopy) looked like it had just gone through whatever Hurricane category is the worst. Meanwhile, this gem of a canopy was 100% okay, just a little wet. If that’s not a testament to quality, I don’t know what is.
Moving on to aesthetics and ease of use…
The Velcro corners are a very efficient addition; all you have to do is pat down the sides of the canopy top because there is Velcro sewed in to the inside corners that adheres to the Velcro attached to the corners of the metal frame.
The carrying bag is a durable canvas fabric that has backpack straps, wheels and a top handle; it opens only from one of the square ends (which makes putting the canopy away very simple, since all you have to do is slide the bag over the closed metal frame like a sock…then stuff in the fabric canopy top).
Love the attached* sidewall that has one mesh pocket—that could probably fit 2 iPhone Pros in it; the sidewall pocket isn’t super large, but it could certainly fit the little bag of stakes and paracord that also comes with this canopy. (*attached as in the sidewall is just an extension of the canopy top, not a stand alone separate addition…which i find convenient as a silly goose with ADHD who loses everything).
Considering the $40 OZARK canopy (you can find at any U.S. Walmart) set the tone for me…spoiled me…making it extremely hard for me to ever spend any more than that on a canopy…I justified the extra cost by reminding myself that it’s hard to find a ‘canopy sidewall addition’ for any less than $30 (especially with a pocket!)…and I bought this canopy on sale for $60; but to be honest, I would purchase it full price. This is a phenomenal canopy. Add. To. Cart. Y’all.
