Pop up canopy replacement
« on: August 20, 2017, 01:48:36 PM »

What are you guys using ? EZ-Up is too light for the wind in my area.   I'm doing Stand Up Paddle Races today. The canopy they provided is bomber.  6 sided aluminum legs, a center post (like EZ-Up but way beefier) and vents in the top.  ... and no brand name to be found...

Ummm... Ask "them" ?
Sounds like an industrial supplier of tent thingys. Maybe custom, likely stock.

Ya, Whatever. Just throw a '57 on it, and get off my stage.

EZ-up makes a couple of sturdier series with thicker legs and more robust hardware. So far they seem to hold up well on tour.

Ask them.. tried that...  them didn't know.  May have to try their marketing dept as the canopies were the custom print logo variety printed.

King Canopy is what floats to the surface of my memory...

Good ones cost a bit more money. We used to use EZ-UP brand canopies that were in the $400-$500 range and they were beefy. You could do pullups on the crossbars and the unit would not be affected. They have many different levels of quality in their offerings.
Lately we have been using the $80 home depot 8x8 straight legged canopies, and they get damaged on almost every show, to the point of requiring repair. Luckily you can get parts for them for cheap. Once you factor in the repair time they aren't so cheap. 8x8 straight legged canopies are great for risers, $80 price point is great for the wallet, $80 quality, ... not so much.

Give KD Kanopy a look. Much more robust than many other brands. It costs more but it lasts.
