ABCCANOPYPatio Pop Up Canopy Tent 8x12 Commercial-Series (Blue)

This canopy is a game-changer! I have put up a lot of canopies over the years. We loved our last canopy (can't remember manufacturer), and it was great quality; the frame lasted for years, even through a replacement cover. THIS one is all that and more. Frame is great quality construction & weight. The cover is also great quality, with the nice features you want, such as the Velcro corners, and inner linings to all support features (i.e., all inner ties, the Velcro, etc., are attached to a separate reinforced fabric piece to prevent the ties from ripping the actual cover.). There is even a fabric piece at the peak which ties (with good give for movement in wind) to the frame to help center the canopy and hold it in place. And the absolute best part of the frame is the center support post and base bracket (see pics). Once you have the canopy properly placed and preliminarily attached, you can push up on the base of the center support and the canopy goes almost up to where you need it to lock the top corners. They actually did think of everything.I was able to put up this whole assembly by myself (I am a 5'4" female). AND a great price along with the quality. This is honestly the only canopy I will ever purchase now. COMPLETELY RECOMMEND!

The media could not be loaded.  Update 7/31/18 I was going to come back and give it another star, but I see I had already given it 5 stars. I figured out a way for it to fit in my car, but the biggest reason for the update is the hail storm I was stuck in this past weekend. I am attaching a short video of the sheer volume of the storm. Me and 7 of my friends had less than a second to take cover and we all crowded under this canopy. The hail was almost golf ball sized near the end and it never ripped or damaged the canopy. I was so impressed because it sounded like gunfire when it was hitting it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CANOPY!!!After I figured out how to put it up, I was impressed. It is sturdy and the color is bright, I love it. My only complaint would be that it is very tall - I wish it had one lower setting. Also, it does not fit in my car. I had to open the back windows and rest it on the window frame.

First, I'll start by saying this canopy is excellent. I don't believe there is a better canopy on the market for the price. If you need something very lightweight and not very heavy duty, then look elsewhere. If you want something that will actually last, built on a true steel frame, get this canopy.I've done festivals, trade-shows, and outdoor markets of all kinds for the better part a year under this canopy, with an average use rate of three days per week. I often feel bad for many other canopy users, because their canopies limit them so severely. Your canopy is the bedrock of your setup, it supports your banners, your windwalls, your lights, and anything else you might need, and it does it all while resisting the elements. If you build your foundation on lightweight aluminum, then you haven't accounted for all the other factors in addition to Murphy's Law. I would advise everyone to get this canopy unless they are under a festival ordnance that requires another tent for uniformity purposes (very rare, but I've seen this happen, IMO this SHOULD be the tent required in those circumstances). This frame will withstand high winds with large banners and signed attached to it, each leg supports two proper stakes, and the wide base feet are ideal for use with weight bags.I have absolutely no trouble at all setting this up alone, and taking it down alone. I've done it probably close to 150 times. The trick is to place one corner where you want it, grab the opposite corner, lift, and stretch it into place. Once it is mostly expanded, press upward on the slider until it clicks into place, then click into place all the other corners. After that you simple lift each leg one at a time. I truly do not understand the people saying this is a difficult setup "even for two people." It's exceptionally easy for one person. Perhaps using more than one person unnecessarily complicates setup? In any case, when you take it down you do the same thing in reverse. First lower all four legs. Then unfasten the corner buttons. Grab one leg on any side, lift, and walk it toward the opposite leg. The entire tent will simply fold up. After that, bag the tent by swinging the bag behind your back, and applying it by sliding it over the top of your head onto the tent. This effectively guides the bag over the tent so that it can slide down onto the bag unhindered. The whole operation of take down or set up takes me easily less than three minutes moving at a normal pace.In addition, they do honor their manufacturer's warranty. I work mostly in Florida near the gulf, and we get very high wind gusts from time to time that can't be predicted. After six months of the harshest environment and repeated set ups and tear downs, the frame finally buckled slightly and could not fold up fully. This was a problem because it would not fit into the bag nor into our storage area for travel. They honored the one year warranty, refunded the cost, and sent a replacement. I almost felt bad because I can tell that every effort has been made for this design to be durable and affordable, and I don't like to take advantage of warranties in those circumstances if I can avoid it. However they gave absolutely no fuss.Now, with that said, understand that there are two, seemingly identical carrying bags for this canopy. My original canopy came with an incredibly heavy duty bag that looked exactly like that displayed in the images in the listings. When I received my second canopy, the bag was a complete joke. It looked identical to the original in every way, but was probably 1/5 the thickness and very poorly manufactured. It fell apart within two weeks. I'm not exaggerating. The first bag lasted six months and was still in near perfect condition, the second lasted only two weeks. The moment I received the new bag I immediately knew it was inferior quality, but I didn't realize just how bad it was until I had a chance to put it to use.So if you see reviews of some people enamored with the bag quality, and others complaining about how poor the exact same bag is, understand that it's because there are two versions of the bag. Which one you receive appears to be 100% luck of the draw. I've been looking for a way to purchase the quality version but the Amazon listing for the bag only appears to suffer the same problem - the seller called "#1 Instant Shelter" randomly distributes one version or the other, and most customers have no idea this is taking place. Shame on them for not being more transparent in this regard.

I know pictures can't speak to the actual quality, but this pop up was truly worth every penny. I was also looking at the Euromax pop up but I am really glad I went with the ABC Canopy. Can one person set it up? Yes. It's a little awkward and takes about 20 minutes the first time, but I did it just to see if I could. Then the next time I had help and it went up in 10 minutes with the top on and everything velcro'ed down.A note on the canopy itself: when comparing to smaller and cheaper pop ups it's just not even in the same league. It is really heavy duty. Again, I know the picture makes it look like it's light weight material but it's thick and strong.The bag was really nice. It has a large exterior pocket big enough to house the tie down stakes and the canopy. The wheels are kind of small but worked over the grass as I dragged it from the car.Listen, this baby is HEAVY! But that's what I wanted. It's heavy because it's heavy duty!The pop up came with sand bags but I just used the tie downs with stakes. I added some hand sewn flags to make it look a little more fun. I used this pop up for two weeks of camping and in that time we saw a LOT of rain. Also high winds. The pop up was solid. Even in the high wind it's heavy enough and when properly tied down, it just impressed the heck out of me. I can't recommend enough.YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!!

I bought this canopy for use at events/festivals. I have a snack company and have been tired of flimsy, low, poor quality EZup type canopy’s this whole year. After much research and deliberation I couldn’t be happier with my decision to go with the ABC Canopy. It seems to have tremendous quality and is very sturdy. I can set this baby up all by myself and roll her around town! The travel case is also incredibly convenient and has a large exterior pocket for signs and such.

This is a quality gazebo and very well made.Unfortunately I ordered an orange gazebo, but was sent a red shelter which was minus guys and pegs! I now have sides I have no use for!JUST CHECK ON DELIVERY! There is a label on the box to indicate the contents.Unfortunately I had to use what was sent due to time constraints, but it should have been returned.UPDATE:. I leave my gazebos up in the garden throughout the summer, but sadly this 'quality' gazebo has a fault which showed up after about 4 months. The tapes which secure the D rings to the four corners are not resistant to sunlight. The three tapes which get exposed to the sun all broke up so the guys failed. It's sad that an expensive and quality item such as this failed through a silly design fault. Sadly after sales with this company are none existant in the UK!The above is the reason I have now changed my star rating to two!

This gazebo is far heavier than the information video suggests, I felt sorry for the delivery driver it was obviously a two man lift. It took two of us nearly an hour to put up in the garden not bad for the first time but hoping it will get easier with subsequent use.The quality appears very good although it is early days yet, the only real criticism’s I have that it’s hard to to but back in the carrier which could do with a rethink on the design and never in the reign of pigs pudding could you erect, collapse or adjust it in anyway alone as the instructions suggest. BUT DON’T LET THAT PUT YOU OFF it’s sturdy, looks great and does the job of shading from the sun brilliantly.

First drop of rain and it comes straight through the stitching at the crown of the canopy. Very disappointed with this as it's advertised as waterproof. Would send it back if it wasn't such a problem trying to pack it away and getting it to the pist office (very heavy).

We needed this as we were having some work done and the tradesman needed something to keep his tools dry. It worked a treat in really wet weather.This gazebo is big and heavy when folded but it is really easy to put up and one up it’s really solid and provides excellent protection.Not used in the summer yet but I think it will be handy for get togethers where we need some shelter or shade.Really pleased with this as it will be really versatile.

I have had two gazebos in the past, both broke within weeks. I have had this one up for the past 5 months with no issues. Have recommended it with no concerns and wouldn't hesitate to buy another. Very easy to take down, pack away and transport.
