Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

When the box arrived it was a little beat up and I was surprised that the canopy itself was undamaged with as little padding as there was inside the box. Assembly was easy and only took 45 minutes, I took the opportunity to add some additional hardware while the canopy was still on the ground. There are a few connections that I drilled and bolted together to make sure it doesn't come apart in a wind storm. Once it was up on the legs I drilled and bolted it to the concrete slab. The end result (with $10 of additional hardware) is a very sturdy canopy that I am sure will stand up to 20-30mph winds without problem. My only problem is that it's a little short. Not for the vehicle, but for walking under. The sides are only 6' to the cross support pole, and the canopy drops down an extra 4" below that. I have to duck under the sides to not hit my head on the poles. Updated 1/25/13 We received about a foot of lake effect snow the other week. The canopy collapsed before I had a chance to knock the snow off the top. The good news is that the poles are the same diameter as a chain link fence top rail (1-3/8" diameter) so I was able to replace the bent pieces with new pipe with a thicker wall. The canopy itself held up fine, with the new thick walled pipes it should be nearly indestructible now!
