Eurmax 8x8 Feet Ez Pop up Canopy Tent, Pop-up Instant Tent, Outdoor Canopies Commercial Gazebo with Sidewalls Bonus Roller Bag (White)

I Really like the accompanying bag with wheels for portability. It can mostly be put up by myself, although more efficiently need a 2nd person to expand & the final "click" lock of the roof took more strength than my hands could muster. Likely will get easier when not so brand new.I do wish there was a tent stake pocket on the outside of the bag. The little pockets inside are just practical for paperwork setup directions and room for not a lot more than the tent. I love that the tent top can be left on the frame when packed dry into bag.Note: see recommendation notes in manual. I never pack it away wet or damp.I put it barely up (Roof on, but not sides, staked+ roped tabs of roof down to additional c-shaped tent weights, then legs down as low as could go) in preparation for a festival starting in two days while knowing that a severe wind storm would be coming with strong sustained winds and greater than 40 mph gusts and 2"-4" of rain. I had one professional who travels throughout states at various fairs try to convince me to not put up Eurmax 8x8 as he stated a big storm destroyed most tents into pretzels at a Michigan fair. But I needed to try and keep that ground dry and needed to save day-of set up time and show our location, do this needed to happen. I told him I have a previous purchased Euramax 10x10 over my back yard picnic table right now that has already withstood 3 greater than 40mph windstorms since this spring. !!! I staked AND weighted AND secured those roof corner & center tabs, roped corners downward and very securely roped to the weights as well. The first time, I sat UNDER the 10x10 (half up ~ bend to walk under and no walls) during the wind and rain and put my hand on the scissor rafters and could feel the strength of the structure as it flexed with the gusts of wind, but didn't bend, crease or move! Returning to the festival on Sunday which was cancelled on Saturday due to severe wind/rain storm ... two of the professional's big tents were damaged... and one literally tradhed and in pieces... but our Euramax 8x8 just needed ropes loosened to extend the legs and we were ready to get ourselves and items in. I am so sold on Euromax that I now have sold other organizations on it too. And no... I have not gotten any compensation for this review & I don't work for them. I am just the kind of person that believes in sharing good things with others.Although manufacturer stares that these shelters are not meant to be left up more than a few days. I had a need that gad my 10x10 up from arrival in Spring, through summer and fall and now the beginning of winter. I hope to be able to no longer need it and take it down very soon. One small snow fall on the 10x10. Just brushed off the crunchy snowtop next morning & good to go! I did get the 4 walls set for the 8x8 and attached. must make sure that the 4 corners are pulled all the way down into the peak of corners before attaching to the very strong velcro and attaching walls. One of 4 walls had a mid wall zipper for entry exit.Beautiful!Another time I attached blue tarps with tarp bungy cords and what a difference the indoor and outdoor temp was during very cold weather !!Great for working longer outdoors with my plants and sorting work on cold/rainy days with less sunlight.My Eurmax purchases are easily some of "favorite things"!

I am a 5'5" female with very little muscle to be honest. After some trial and error I was able to figure out how to set this tent up all by myself. The only thing is that in order to set this up (even with a muscled guy or 2 people), is that the tent canopy will not EVER fit 1/4" below the truss line as they say is required. If you attached the canopy tent in it's correct positioning while the canopy is still only slightly open, you will NEVER be able to fully open it - I even had my bf try and he couldn't muscle it open. So if you ignore the correct placement of the canopy tent, you CAN get it up with just a little muscle with only 1 person! I set 2 of these up together on concrete/asphalt by myself by this method: Pull open the canopy using only 1 side until it won't easily spread open any more without lifting or shifting. Pop the cover on, but don't attach it to the corners. Leave all 4 corners completely loose. Climb under the canopy and push UP on the big center piece - this will open the frame up almost completely. When it won't open up any more without lifting off the ground, move to the 1st corner and muscle the leg up until it snaps into place. Pull down on the upper bar while pushing up with the leg to accomplish this. Once you get the first leg snapped into place, the other 3 legs snap in with very little effort - super easy. Then muscle the canopy corners down as best you can - I folded them all the way up so the velcro was folded on the outside, then pulled as hard as I could and folded them down. They won't go down 1/4" below the truss line, but will go down far enough. Then I just used extra muscle when pulling the velcro on the middle of the canopy to get the whole side to cover the truss. Once it was up, I attached my weights, then the sidewalls (extremely easy) and then added rail bars for additional stability. Tents are very solid and look great!

This easy up is heavy!! With that said, wanted one that could handle rain and snow. Setup was easy with 2 people. It would be a pain with one, but is possible. The frame is sturdy and the sides velcro nicely and easily. Did I mention there are 4 sides to block sun, sleet, and rain!!! (Yeah I'm giddy over that) Could easily hang a lantern from multiple spots. The case is nice. You can fold up and place it inside without having to stuff like a pillowcase, just lay and zip. 2 wheels make for easy transport and the case has pockets on the inside for ropes, ties, stakes and whatever else.I plan to seam seal, only due to habit of many camping years. I've always advised for tent seals, and as thick and well strung the canvas top is, would probably benefit.

Very easy to put up, even by myself. The top stretches over the peak to create good slope for drainage. You have to really pull the corners down to match the seam before you let the Velcro take hold. The last corner was very tight and tricky to be sure it didn't grab too soon. Once it does, it holds very tight! The sides are a nice touch, too. I have it over a small outdoor spa, with weights on the legs. I have not tried to raise the canopy beyond the default low setting, hopefully that goes easy as well. Very much work the money, with every color you can imagine

I ordered this because we are in a smaller tailgating spot these days. Based on the price, I didn't really have any great expectations, but I have been impressed with the quality. My other canopies are Caravan and EZ-Up, which are some of the best in the business and have lasted me nearly 15 years without issue. This Eurmax brand seems very sturdy and the hardware looks to be pretty good quality. We'll see what the first NFL season looks like with it.
