...then you will want the EZ-UP brand.Here in Washington rain is a 'given'... lol.
I have friends who have both Caravan and EZ-UP brands and the main
difference seems to be the tautness of the roofing.
The Caravan brand seems to have a pooling area for the rain and they
need to 'burp' their roof every so often, while the EZ-UP seems to
be tighter and the rain doesn't pool.
Between the 3 of us who merchant many events together we all have
different types of pop up tents. Theirs are all pyramid peak roofs
while I have the sprint/express model from EZ-UP which has a slopped
roof...with only 2 sides instead of 4. It's a 1/3 of the price in
comparison to the crafter's EZ-UP and has withstood severe winds and
rain.
I don't use vinyl walls to surround my booth but cloth walls and
those are staked down around the bottom of the tent for more
stability also.
