A cheaper canopyPosted by Kenzi on May 9, 2001 at 15:54:52: In reply to: Re: Canopy for events posted by Diane on May 9, 2001 at 05:55:24: When I was on a tighter budget I found a great alternative for streetfairs. I got a gazebo which is basically the same idea as the EZ Up tent or the Craft Canopy...namely, it's a metal frame with a waterproof covering. I got it at Rite Aid, but you can find them at Kmart, Walmart etc. It should run you about $30-40. It is pretty easy to carry because it's small and pretty easy to assemble, even for one person. The drawback is that it is somewhat light; when there is high wind it feels like the gazebo might lift off the ground. I usually bring 5 lb. dumbell weights and secure them to each leg; this keeps the gazebo from taking flight but it still moves a little. If you are set up on grass or dirt you can stake it to the ground (I set up on concrete or asphalt so it doesn't work). The size is 10' x 10' which is the average size of a booth space. Hope tha
