ShelterLogic 10 x 15- Feet S T Popup Canopy, White Cover Review

ShelterLogic 10 x 15- Feet S T Popup Canopy, White Cover

After purchasing several canopies and gazebo's from Lowe's which did not survive any breaze over 10 mph or rain over one inch, I decided to purchase a canopy that could be partially disassembled if a storm is forcasted to come to my backyard.
The canopy itself does need more than two people to set up since most peoples' wing span is less than the width of the canopy. It takes two people to pull it apart plus one to hold the other side still. Once the canopy is fully extended, placing the cover over it is fairly simple once you have the corner seams in the corners and the top braces in the center of the cover. Deploying the four corner legs can be done with one person. Once you have it all together, the straps on the underside of the canopy can be secured to the frame. I gave it less than five stars for the difficulty of threading the polyester straps throug the plastic buckles. If the straps was just a couple of inches longer it would be a much easier excercise.
Report from the first "frog choker" rain we had last night. I had about three inches of rain on my pool cover and found that the corners of the cover pulled through the frame. The frame appeared to be bent, but I think that the frame is OK since what I think I witnessed was the "torgue" of the frame causing the legs to 'splay" outwards. Once I placed the corners back on the frame, the legs seemed to straighten back up again. The corners are lined with velcro as are the corner poles, so a nice fit is always there. I think that the unit will survive a gust of wind as long as its protected from strong, consistent winds from any direction (people from the breadbasket states take note. :)Overall I am satisfied with the construction and fit. I don't think that the unit can be placed in a unprotected area without some wind damage. It seems to handle rain although the makers might consider placing rivets in the canopy at strategic places to drain the collected rain water.

ShelterLogic 10x20 1-3/8" 8-Leg Canopy with Enclosure Kit (White) Review

This product is a very poor design. First of all the poles are only 1 3/8" as opposed to the 2" found on comparable products. Additionally, the poles are split into section which doesn't seem like a bad idea except that they fit so snug that they are almost impossible to separate. This goes for every connection on the frame. It was incredibly difficult to get it disassembled and a couple poles I could not disassemble at all. Not only that but the canopy is also cheap. It fits very loose and there are gaps at every edge. The side panels do not fit right and in some spots I had to use two ball bungees to make it work. I guess that's why they include an extra box of bungees. I do not recommend this product. Don't even think about buying this for Burning Man. [...]

This 10x20 canopy with extensions is a versatile shelter for outdoor gatherings. I used it for an all-day event and adjusted as the event changed.
First we had guest speakers which I set up under a separate 10x10 against the 10' end of this unit and used its entire space for seating. You can fit 4 chairs under the extension and another 2 into the main area on each side which gives you a total of 12 seats in a row with a center aisle. With 7 rows we had 84 seats in the 20x24 extended space. We could have cut 8 seats and fit everyone under this canopy. Next, we set up tables for kid's activities. Using 6' long tables, we easily fit 6 into four activity stations. Finally, when it got windy we dropped one side to shield the area and still had everything covered.
First time out of the box (ONE 117 pound box!) it took me, alone, about four hours to set up. Three hours of that was fixing pipes deformed in shipping which didn't quite fit together. Also, a couple of the "swedged" pipe ends had to have paint filed off to fit together... and they're still together standing in the corner of my garage. I believe the pipes fitting together tightly contributes to the sturdiness of the structure, but some are a pain to work with.
There were some moderate wind gusts the day I had this canopy up. The main section held solid, but the extensions flapped a bit. Even though I had the ropes as tight as I could get them, the flapping broke three of the rope tensioners. These are very difficult to adjust anyway configured as shown in the directions. I'm going to take them off and learn how to tie a proper knot for the application.
One last thing... I'm about 6'2" and my hair rubs when I stand under the extensions. That's a little annoying. The main section is comfortable and the peak is about as high as I can reach standing on a chair. If ShelterLogic works out a couple small issues, they'll have an excellent product! I hope they ship it in two boxes.

Great product for the money, however they do have problems with quality control. For example we had to file down the inside of the pipes before assembly because they were to lazy at the factory to file down the burrs that are created when you drill through a pipe one way to make holes. You couldn't put the poles together until this was done. This added 2 hours to our assembly time. Also the pins were missing that hold the canopy together at the top, but the company shipped them out right away and we got it 3 days later. Glad there was no wind storms. When we finally got it together it was good and solid and is now a permanent structure over our dock. Just be prepared for it when you put it together!

I purchased this shelter for a trip to Oklahoma dday paintball . The event is held in June and the weather in N.E. Oklahoma at that time of year varies to say the least . With that said I was looking for a well built shelter that wasn't extremely expensive , and versatile . This was the ticket , It is very well built , large main poles and a rugged canopy . I did not purchase the hold down kit ,which I'm sure would be sufficient for most any occasion , but instead built anchors that resembled spikes for the very rocky ground in that area . The extension wings were great for providing extra shade in the heat , but also folded down quickly when the weather turned bad. I found only two negatives in my opinion . First the top I purchased was white . Okay , you buy white and you probably want some light to come through without being in direct sunlight okay I got it . But it seemed to be glaring bright to me . Maybe due to the glossy texture of the material but I will purchase a darker color next time . Second were the extension poles themselves , They were okay , but on windy days the extension would whip them off if it was not held fairly tight ,which created a lot of stress on the extension poles . They held up , but I don't think they would take too much more stress . I made heavier duty poles for the next trip . So,after all this would I buy it again, most definitely , but I would buy a darker color if possible .

ShelterLogic Quick Clamp Canopy (Green) Review

I've been involved in outdoor events (swim meets, soccer games, job fairs, health fairs, picnics and more) for many years. I've used all the shade solutions--the easy pop-up and the more permanent assemble-on-the-spot types. I've seen them all collapse due to rain and wind and understand that ALL shade structures are vulnerable to the elements. I don't expect miracles from shade structures.
I love the Quick Clamp Canopy. It's portable, easy to set up especially in confined areas, it is extremely flexible and two people can do it quickly. We've used it on tables with ease and success. But what it can do that other canopy designs can't is clamp on to bleachers!! What a treat to be able to sit in the shade in bleachers! If the weather gets a little dicey, we just take it down.
