What is best portable canopy?

[FED 387]

Also some offer a white powder coated frame nice extra touch but not necessary--- ditto on what the others said 10x20 can be kind of cumbersome but if you have a few guys its easy to put up--just noticed that EZ UP has some sales going now depending on the retailer--FED 387

Thanks so much for the suggestions. Lots of good advice. I have never owned a canopy before. This is a big help. Ray

just make sure you can tie it down.nothing like a canopy flying in the pits.

We have a Coleman brand 12 x 12 and is nice. Can withstand a pretty decent wind and rain, provided you use all of the nails and stakes to hold it down to the ground at the poles and using the strings. One technique I learned from camping, put all the pole stakes in a varying angles so the canopy can not lift up and down on the stakes. We bought the optional and removal walls too for hot sun and low wind days. Works for good for blowing rain days since we are a truck and trailer setup. Whatever brand you buy, I recommend from a long time durability standpoint to remove the canopy when you store it. Yes more work, but the metal structure can pinch, tear, cut and wear the canopy in the bag and when being moved around or towed in the trailer.

Best bang for your buck I have seen, is the 10X20 Canopy from Menards and under $300. Very heavy duty steel framing. Only downfall, it is heavy. I can setup it up by myself, but two people make a big difference.
