Recreational 12x12 Blue Instant Canopy

The 12' x 12' canopy is the perfect investment for those that need large areas of shade and outdoor weather protection, or have mobile booths like myself. I have been using the 10' x 10' canopies in the past. the 100 sq. ft. seemed a bit enclosed with 3 people, two 2' x 6' tables and some equipment. The impressive overall size of the 12' x 12' canopy is 144 sq. ft. which seems 50% larger on paper, but when you compare the two canopies side by side the 12' x 12' canopy looks and feels twice the size of the 10' x 10' canopy. The 12' x 12' canopy is obviously heavier and about twice the size when collapsed (with the exception of its height) over the 10' x 10' canopies. Setup is quite similar to the 10' x 10' canopy with consideration of is larger size. I have noticed with the 12' x 12' canopy it has extra supports in the middle (top) that extend to the outer sides between the corners (kind of a giant plus sign above your head) Also an extension for the apex of the canopy. The 12' x 12' has the same durability and rigid construction of the 10' x 10' canopy. The carrying case of the 12' x 12' canopy however is not as durable or as 10' x 10' canopies you see in the stores. It has wheels but is a lightweight material (flimsy) in comparison to the 10' x 10' canopy case. Over all the 12' x 12' canopy is well made durable and a smart investment for parties, sports, camping, or any other outdoor recreational use.

I bought the 12 x 12 and when I open the box the canopy had several holes in it and some of the connectors were cracked and carring bag had holes in it too. And and the seams were torn. I don't recomend this product.

The Quik shade was really very easy to set up. I feel that the legs might be a little light weight, but I don't think that would be a problem, unless it is real windy.

This product is great except that it is very heavy. It sets up nicely but it's helpful to have 4 people, one for each corner.

this is what i expected for the price i paid but.... over 60% of the plastic fittings(?), i am not sure what to call them but where the poles meet, were severely cracked and they are essential to the durability of the canopy. if i had not been at an event and needed the tent, i would have returned it because of poor quality of fittings only. the rest of the canopy met my expectations. would not recommend buying unless you inspect on site or have time to return before you need it.
