For those of you that have never had a 10'x10' tent canopy, you really cannot appreciate the versatility. As for portability, about a 12"x12"x5' feet long, including sides for weather and/or bugs.

Last show I worked in 2012 had rain the first day and blazing son the next. My rear awning and easy up worked really well in this set up.
That is unfair, you are using the best of both worlds, Awning and Canopy.

Reddog, I have tried to come up with a way to put sides on my awning. The way the arms attach to the awning and then the truck, I have not been able to come up with an acceptable method.
Wheelholder wrote:I will have to go back and re-read the post, to see specifically who I was referring to, if anyone. I think it was a general comment, when considering an expensive or less expensive Canopy. Generally speaking, I think the the statement "you get what you pay for" is silly at best. It implies if the price is raised, you get a better product. In my life's experience, a higher price does not necessarily mean a higher quality product.
Not being too thin skinned (I dont think), but I did not see where I said " you get what you pay for". Perhaps this was directed somewhere else and I misunderstood .

Not sure of our name brand. We looked into putting a waterproofing application on it, but have not as of this time. We have seen a couple more that stated they were waterproof. We just keep learning as we go.

The awning is quicker for me than the shelter. Wife does not really help, so I am on my own.

We also have a 10x10 cover. Have used it a couple of times. Found out it was not waterproof after entering one morning with the dew on it and bumped into the frame. Got a rather cold shower.
We also have the screen enclosure to go with it. Bought at Dick's Sporting Goods, I think. Spent 60-7- bucks for it. Comes in the bag with wheels and the screen has its own bag. For our style of camping, it is more trouble than it is worth.
I do not sell the tent Canopies, but I can say with all honesty that you would not have that issue with the E-ZUP I linked previously. It very well could happen with our less expensive Canopy. I really do not like the "you get what you pay for" statement. With that said, there is a difference in Canopies. That is why I have two. I cannot say you will absolutely not get dew on the underside, but I really cannot say it will be any more than an awning.
