Cons

  • It’s a great canopy that provides good shelter and fairly sturdy; there have been some reports of the canopy flipping over a strong wind though so potential buyers will want to keep that in mind.
  • There have also been some instances where the canopy did not fit properly on the frame or it did not stay secure.
  • It’s a bit pricey compared to some other pop-up canopies on the market, coming in at about $180.00 on Amazon.

Cons

  • Some of the metal legs also became bent after only a handful of uses.

    Some of the Eurmax canopies’ structural supports have also broken down only after a few uses.

The AmazonBasics pop-up canopy for camping & tailgating consists of a steel frame with a cathedral style roof for maximum headroom and comfort for those tall friends of yours.

This pop-up canopy also has an angled leg design that provides approximately 96 square feet of shade and protection from the elements (although it is not recommended for use in prolonged rain or strong winds).

The pop-up rain tent cover also provides 99% UV protection from the sun’s rays and includes a carry bag for easy transport and convenience.

Features & Details

  • Durable steel frame for stability; coating of the AmazonBasics canopy helps prevent and reduce peeling, chipping, and rust.
  • The cost on Amazon is about $95 so it’s a price that certainly will not break your wallet; the total weight of the canopy is roughly 38 pounds so it’s not too hard of a struggle to pick up if necessary.

Cons

  • This particular canopy has a few mixed reviews, with some of the negative reviews describing that the canopy falls apart only after a few uses and is incredibly difficult to assemble initially.

Coleman 2000004407 Instant Beach Canopy, 13 x 13 Feet

best-commercial-pop-up-canopy

The Coleman Instant Beach Canopy is a 13-foot pop-up canopy that costs about $145.00 on Amazon, making it mid-range in the area of pricing.

The Instant Canopy can be set up in as little as three minutes in just a few simple steps;

The material that the canopy is made out of specific for guarding/craft shows against UV rays and provides an awesome amount of protection from the sun and light rain.

Features & Details

  • The Instant Canopy comes with a handy storage bag that easily fits into most vehicles; there are two-way vents in the roof that provides adequate circulating to make many visits in the canopy pleasant and comfortable.
  • The Coleman comes with lightweight poles that are pre-attached with grips that allow the poles to easily lock in place.

Cons

  • The corners of the canopy cover can tear easily, with the color of the canopy itself fading just as fast.
    Although it is relatively sturdy and easy to assemble, it definitely should not be put up in any kind of inclement weather as it has turned over in a strong gust of wind.
  • Lastly, even though it is easy to assemble, it can be a hassle to take down and may take several people, at each corner of the canopy to dissemble; it has been said that this specific canopy may only be good if you just need an instant canopy for backpacking/craft shows for a short period of time.

Conclusion

So, with all of this being said, I believe that you will never know for sure just how sturdy a particular pop-up patio canopy is until it is being tested out in the “field” so to speak.

Also keep in mind that if you reside in an area with high winds or rain you may want to invest in something a little sturdier than a pop-up market tent, however, if you just need something fairly simple for a to get together or just simple relaxation, the above options should definitely be looked at.

Be sure to keep your receipts as well just in case you need to return or exchange; it also will not hurt to review the customer service ratings of the manufacturer that you plan on ordering from, just in case you do need to return anything.

There is nothing worse than poor customer service to deal with in regards to a purchase that you have already spent your time and money on.

Happy shopping!
