In reply to: Buy the heavy duty type canopy! posted by Jessica on September 5, 2003 at 01:59:00:

Hi Jessica! Wow, thanks so much! So, you find that the $390 10 x 10
classic caravan canopy lasts you only two years?
Phoenix Tatiana

: Hi Phoenix,
: There are 2 name brand canopy companies that make the durable,
: professional white tented canopies. The first is EZ-Up and the
other is
: Caravan Canopy.
: I've used several EZ-Ups, and my last 3 have been Caravan brand.
: The Caravan Canopies, are heavy duty vinyl tops as are EZ-Ups but
the legs
: have u-tabs to pull that release the tent back down and there are u-
rings on
: the top outer corners to hand signage from. I definately prefer the
Caravan
: ones over EZ-Up, they are easier to put up alone and there is less
oportunity
: to pinch fingers.
: Costco (not sure where you are) gets these in, in the spring and
sells them for
: just about $200. If you go through other stores or even the company
websites
: both brands are around $300.
: Be very wary when you see a canopy for $100 -$150. They are not
: constructed to hold up to heavy use or wind. EZ-Up makes several
types, one
: being suited for home/backyard use and the heavy duty, more
expensive one
: is necessary for festivals I've found.
: My canopies seem to hold up for about 2 years before components
begin to
: break or they fly away , crash and collapse (wind can be nasty). I
work about
: 16 outdoor weekend events a year when we use a canopy. They just
aren't
: designed to last forever, but, they sure are handy.
: Good luck shopping!
: Jessica
:
: : I'm really confused about the different types of canopies
avialable.
: : I know that most of you suggest that an EZ-up is not the most
: : reliable when it comes to high winds. . . so what exactly is
: : reliable? If I'm going to pay $200 +/-, I want something that is
: : going to be REALLY nice!
