I had a 10x10 Quest canopy/gazebo (from Dick's Sporting Goods) that was ruined last year in a bad storm at my mom's house. I really liked having it for shade at swim meets, etc and when we went camping. I should say that I liked it once it was up, but putting it up was a huge PITB. I could never push the "snap buttons" on the legs to get the canopy up that last bit. So, I am looking for one that's easier to put up but which will also stand up to some use. I don't expect it to last though a really bad storm but I do expect it to hold up to rain and moderate wind.
So ... here are my choices, all are 10x10:
E-Z Up Sierra II
E-Z Up Jamboree
Coleman 10x10 Instant Canopy
Fast Set Wing Canopy
Every review I read is either "This canopy is the best thing since sliced bread!" or "This canopy is crap and the frame bent the first time I used it!". Everytime I pick one, I second guess myself.
So, do you have one of these canopies? Do you love it? Hate it? Is it study and easy to set up? Would you buy it again?
