Pop-Up Tents/Shade

[Margaret Petersen (LIB)]

Hi Everyone and Happy Friday!

What do you all use for pop-up tents/ canopies/ shade when you are out and about? We've been using the EZ Up brand on Amazon and while they are very easy to get up and down with minimal people, we've had issues with them bending and snapping rather easily. Would love to know what you use and how you transport it!

We use an EZ up tent, but one that is studier  that we ordered from Vivid Ink, a local promotional company.  Those EZ ups from like Walmart are only rated to last at the most 3 years.

Hi, we ordered ours directly from EZ-UP website and it's working well - sturdy and no bending after 3 years.  We chose to have ours branded and it fits nicely in a wheeled case.  It came with 4 sandbags that velcro around the legs.  I do find 2 or more helpers works better than one, but our Maintenance team is able to set it up and tear it down with just one person.
