Easy up / Instant Canopy reccomendations

Hi all,

So to make a long story short, we just returned our Coleman Swingwall Instant Canopy which was 10x10 to costco as one of its arms broke. Costco has moved on to a new model and no longer sells the Swingwall version. Looked on line to buy a replacement and the reviews were not good on many sites for this model. Shame though cause we did love the advantage of the swing wall. Could be used as a wall or angled all the way to be extra coverage.

However, I'm looking for something new now. Any recommendations, brands, stores/sites, etc. would be very much appreciated. There are ALOT of varieties out there but would like to narrow it down with your input.

Link to what we used to have.

 

I've gotten about the same life out of any of the ones I've tried.

 

I just buy one of those ~$55 canopies from Dick’s. We use it for the kids’ soccer games. At that price I consider them disposable. When they break, throw it out and get another. We are on our second over the last 11 years. A leg bent on the first one. Although instead of throwing it out, I riveted a golf green divot repair tool to it. It still hangs in there and I bring it on some off road excursions.

 

Ended up doing this, picked up a wall too plus a 1 year additional warranty all for under $100.

 

you could try Big5. I picked up a cheap one that has 2 sides with the half wall. Honestly though I've only used it a couple times.

 

As others have said, they're pretty much all junk and sadly should be considered disposable.

 

yeah, that's the mindset I've come to embrace.

 

I had one of those pop up shelters and returned it after one use. Pretty disappointing. It wasn't even waterproof!

I just installed this yesterday:

Gonna try it out camping this weekend.

Obviously, the downside is that you can't drive away when it's out... but I figure it's pretty nice shelter from the elements because you're up against the side of your truck. Frankly, the construction doesn't seem super strong but we'll see...
