Eurmax USA 5'x5' Commercial Instant Pop Up Canopy Tent with Heavy Duty Roller Bag & 4 Bonus Sand Weight Bags - White | Perfect for Outdoor Events, Farmers Markets, Beach Parties & Camping

I have had this canopy for about 6 weeks now, so I am ready to give an honest review. First off, some of the negative reviewers have to keep perspective. This is a two hundred dollar canopy. Too many people on Amazon think they can get $500 quality for $200. People need to keep perspective. Do not think it will survive high winds. Do not keep it out for days on end. It WILL NOT SURVIVE. A good backyard canopy that can withstand high winds and be left out is probably a $1500 minimum. You aren't getting that for $200. This is temporary shelter.First off, what threw me when it arrived is that the box said "Standard". I was like, "Wait, I ordered the Ez Pop Up...". I went to Eurmax website. This tent IS the Standard model, but the ad does not say that. If you zoom in on the bag, it will say "Standard". So that threw me at first. No big deal there. I got the tent described in the ad, it just never lists it as the Standard model.My wife and I use this in the backyard on nice days so we can sit out and get some fresh air. It is perfect for that. We do not leave it out overnight, nor do we put it up if it is windy. It won't handle that. I am thinking maybe up to a 10 mph wind max , even with sand bags or tie downs. Remember, it's basically a big parachute. If a strong wind gets hold of it, it is going to get damaged.It is pretty easy to put up with two people. The top latches take a little bit of muscle to secure, but after you do it a couple times you get the hang of it. I found that if you stand on the outside of the pole and push the latch up with one hand while pushing down on the top of the frame at the same time works best, but that is just me. I am sure everyone has their own technique. I find the secret to getting the legs to latch is that while you are extending the leg, don't keep the leg on the ground and push the top up, because the top of the tent wants to force it back down under it's own weight. This makes it difficult to open the leg all the way until it latches. So lift the leg off the ground (it's light enough) and extend the bottom part of the leg downward until it latches. At this point the leg will be at an angle, and the tent will be cocked funny, but leave it like that as it reduces tension on the canopy. But again.. find your own technique, I am just telling you how I do it. There may be better ways.You CAN put this up with only one person. The first few times I tried, I was unsuccessful and thought "no way". But after doing it a few times, I figured it out. It CAN be done. But here is the thing. One person can't pull the legs apart far enough by themselves. So I have to open the legs as wide as I can, which is only a little more than half way, then crawl under the frame and push up from the center to force the legs out the rest of the way. Then I use the two techniques described above to secure the latches. It takes maybe 5 minutes to put it up, without hurrying. With that said, I am 5'10 165 lbs and in good shape. So NOT everyone is going to be able to crawl under the frame and push up from the center. I am just saying that it CAN be done by one person.Taking it down is a snap and can be done by only one person, no problem. If you aren't taking the canopy off, it literally comes down in about 30 seconds. Which is nice in case winds or a storm come out of nowhere.The canopy itself is medium weight. It is still too new for me to comment on how strong it is. I left it out in a light rain and it did not leak. Although I did make sure i kept the water from pooling at the edges. I would not count on it in a heavy rain. I think water will pool at the edges and tear the canopy.Finally, the bag is heavy duty and when you first see it, it is weird because it is missing one of the sides, where the wheels are. I was like what the heck? But after a couple times, I realized it was ingeniously engineered. It makes it REALLY easy to put the frame in and out of the bag without having to wrestle with the frame. Just fold the frame (leave it standing upright) and slide the bag over the top of the frame and down It slides right in. Slip the metal brace under the legs, velcro it snug and off you go. You don't even need to take the canopy off. The bag is big enough to fit the frame AND the canopy, which is nice. You never have to lift the frame. Which is great because the frame probably weighs about 50 pounds. But with the ease of putting it in the bag and the bag being on wheels, you never have to deal with the full 50Lbs unless you literally need to carry it. My wife has no problem bringing this in and out of the garage. You aren't going to be able to roll this thing through sand, so don't think you are getting it to the beach without carrying it.For $200, this thing is fine. Again, keep perspective. Understand what you are buying. This is temporary shelter. Harsh weather will ruin it. But it exactly as advertised. If you need something quick and easy to put up in the backyard or camping, this works just fine.
