This might cause the plastic truss connectors to weaken quicker than normal or even worse snap, so we always advise having a helping hand whenever possible. One benefit of the slant leg canopy design is increased floor space, so you have more room for chairs, people, or belongings. Most 10×10 tents with slanted legs only produce 64 square feet of shade due to the top dimensions being reduced to 8×8.
Before we even took this pop up canopy tent out of the wheeled carrying bag, we were struck by the bag itself. The carrying tote boasted a full-length zipper, in contrast with the typical canopy tent bag that only has a zipper around the top. We found that the full zipper was much easier to use when removing and packing ozark trail straight leg canopy up the tent at the beach. We also love the straps inside the bag that can wrap around the steel frame to compress the shelter, which helps to remove unwanted stress on the full-length zipper. The Eurmax is also the tallest 10×10 canopy tent when fully extending the legs to the maximum 11.1 ft peak height.
The frame comes assembled, the only work needed is to attach the canopy fabric. Simply open the frame while in its lowered position, and before locking any of the legs or canopy pull-pins attach the Velcro to the truss bars where the connection loops are located. The EZ Glide truss washers reinforce the connection points and provide a nice smooth opening and closing.
The last feature to highlight is the matching Coleman 10×10 sidewall that can be purchased separately but goes perfectly with this pop up canopy. While we focus on the quality of various canopy tent coverings, it is easy ozark trail instant canopy to overlook the fact that not all sidewalls are equal in quality. The Coleman 10×10 sidewall is constructed with the same surprisingly lightweight UVGuard polyester as the covering and provides 50+ UPF sun protection.
You’ll find orange buttons on each leg that are quite large so that you can effortlessly press them and move the poles up and down. The feet areas of the legs are also something to mention, as they are shaped like pads instead of a simple pole. We appreciate that the frame has been made of tough steel, as this ensures that it will stay stable throughout moderate winds.
The plastic hinges are designed with repeated use in mind, while the blue canopy is made of a lightweight CPAI-84 rated water and fire-resistant material that blocks 99% of UV rays. The open cathedral pyramid frame provides a peak height of 8 feet 7 inches which we found to be enough clearance at the valances to not have to duck. The specs are hard to believe at a price point we find to be extremely competitive. We used the lowest height setting to increase shade when the sun was rising or setting on the horizon or on windy days to prevent a gust of wind from catching the underside of the canopy. The blue lightweight polyester material with a silver-backed lining helps to keep the tent cool underneath. At the same time, it helps protect occupants against sun exposure with UV protection that successfully blocks harmful rays.
While the alloy steel frame is impressive, the canopy fabric is even more noteworthy. If you are traveling to the beach, you’ll want a lightweight and portable canopy with a rust-resistant frame. If you are hosting an outdoor event, a large pop up tent with a durable steel frame big ozark trail sun shade enough to accommodate a table and chairs. A camping canopy that is water resistant and has mosquito nets or mesh screen sidewalls to help keep you dry and insect free. The frame is remarkably strong for its size and made from powder-coated rust-resistant steel, painted white.
