Crown Shades 10 x 10 Foot Instant Pop Up Folding Shade Canopy w/Carry Bag, Blue

We got this 10x10 crown shade pop up canopy a few weeks ago and installed it as soon as we got it over out pool to help shade it for our kids. It fit perfectly over half our pool. Steaked them down into the ground and the seemed pretty sturdy. Even with our 4 dogs running laps around the pool and canopy. It even held down with a decent storm until September 8th when it was crushed by a fallen tree. We are definitely getting a new one when we purchase a new pool.

The first time using this is the hardest because you have to put on the canvas top. So do that BEFORE you adjust the height of the legs so you can easily reach it. Also you really have to have two people to put this tent up. Other than that it's easy to put up and close down. Instructions are attached to the outside of the zippered case the tent is folded into. It's easy to understand and they also provide a list of parts. I'm guessing in case you have to order any replacements in the future.Basically two people are needed because the even pulling-at-the-same-time on opening the framework is needed. Once it's fully opened then you need to adjust the legs. And it's much easier to do that if two people each do one leg on the same side at the same time. One person can do it but it's awkward. Once the height is where you want it you simple go under the canopy and push up in the center and voila your canopy is up and ready for use!Taking it down you just do the same things but in reverse. This time you do not have to remove the canvas canopy. It will just fold with the unit. Once folded it fits back into its carrying case--compact and ready to go. Only thing is it's heavy! Not easy for a small or weak person to carry or someone with a bad back. It does not have wheels and does not roll around for easy transport.

I've previously owned numerous pop-up shades for camping and festival purposes but this Crown shade is by far the sturdiest. The metal stand is rigid and the articulated feet are very helpful on uneven ground which is something my other pop-up shades did not have. However the downside of being sturdy is that this shade is incredibly heavy and 36lbs is awkward for anyone to carry. The other thing I absolutely hate is that the canopy does not come pre-installed on the frame which means yet another thing you have to fight with when you are already overwhelmed with setup duties. And as for the instant up feature? Well it really depends on whether you are having to manage setup by yourself versus with another set of hands. Having a helper reduces some of the frustration but it's still far from instant and if you have to do everything yourself it'll be at least 15-20 minutes from the time you first open the carrying bag to setup being complete.

O m g I love this product. When I got it in the mail and opened it and put it up. It's the best. Oh my goodness it's the best. It's the right size the material that is made out of a great very sturdy easy up easy. D*** you could take it anywhere. And I'm so happy that I got a chance to try it. I love it love it thank you.

This is perfect to keep my family in the shade as we spend time outdoors. I was happy with the ease of putting this together for quick shade! The only issue I had was putting it back in the carrying bag which was more my ability than the product. I’m happy with my purchase!

The Crown Shade pop up tent is perfect for all things outdoors. The canopy provide a huge amount of shade - over 10 people can fit. The steel frame is sturdy and the tent can be adjusted to 3 different heights. Quick and easy set up and take down is one of the best features.

Easy to assemble then when putting it up boom went up so easy. Folded it back down slipped the cover back on it which by the way has wheels and two strap handles to help pull and store it away again. We ordered the 10x10 in navy blue. It also comes with ropes and stakes to secure it on the corners. One suggestion would to sew a Velcro pocket on the outside of the cover to store the stakes and ropes. I would highly recommend this product.

Love love LOOOOVE this canopy! This is one solid well made canopy. It's made with strong material. I have another cheaper 10x10 however I will be giving that one away and using this one. It is very easy to put up and close down. Not much more to say but YOU MUST GET IT! Great job on this one Crown Shades! I am truly impressed.

I really like this canopy from Crown Shades.It's very easy to set up and take down no more than a minute or two and it comes with a convenient carry bag for transport. The bag is a bit heavy though around 30 pounds but still worth it.I got the 10x10 version which provides plenty of shade for a small group of people.The only downside I see so far is the pegs to anchor the canopy to the ground. They are made of plastic and I would have preferred them to be steel so I could hammer them if needed. The plastic pegs are perfectly good for sand and soft ground though.Overall I highly recommend this canopy to anyone who enjoys spending time outdoors!

I recently tried Crown Shades 10 x 10 Foot Instant Pop Up Folding Shade Canopy for coverage from the rain and sun. It is the perfect size and was easy to put together and take down. The blue color looks amazing . I recommend taking down prior to any high winds. You will not be disappointed with this canopy. Highly recommend.
