There are probably lots of canopy owners here and im wondering what the ups and downs are when purchasing one. I have never owned one but have used a few and noticed some are cheaper than others...
I was thinking about spending about $200 and would love advice from anyone that has had one or a few over the years. If need I would spend more to get one that was quality.
Is $200 enough, what material, any good brands, what should I steer clear of etc...
Thanks for the help!
EZ-UP
Don't skimp or it will bein the trash sooner than later.
The cheap Walmart ones are just that. Cheap riveted frame connectors, flimsy fabric. One good wind storm and it's over. Around here with the wind and all, the ones with a vent in the center will be better. You can usually buy repair parts for EZUp and the more popular brands if pieces break. Some of the lower priced ones have cheap spring loaded buttons that click into place... also great for pinching fingers and causing blood blisters.

Thanks for the advice guys... Anyone use ShelterLogic? Seems that they are on the quality side. Only reason I ask is because they make a red one with a black powder coated frame.
KD Kanopy is in Westminster Colorado and makes very high quality canopies.

I've used EZ UP canopies for corporate events and track days, definitely better built than the cheap ones.
