THIS CANOPY IS AMAZING, AND THE QUALITY OF THIS PRODUCT IS EXCELLENT. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE NEVER PUT A CANOPY UP BEFORE AND IT WAS SO SIMPLE THAT WE HAD IT UP IN 5 MINUTES AND TOOK IT DOWN JUST AS QUICKLY. WE SECURED THE CANOPY TO THE GROUND WITH A VERY LARGE FOOT LONG PET TIE OUT STAKES ON EACH LEG. WE SECURED THE CANOPY TO EACH STAKE WITH SEVERAL ROUNDS OF GORILLA DUCT TAPE, AND IT DIDNT BUDGE. WE HAD A COUPLE OF VENDORS THAT WERE SO IMPRESSED THAT THEY ASK WHAT WE USED TO KEEP IT DOWN SO WELL. ALSO, I HAD OTHER VENDORS COME TO LOOK AT MY WINDCHIMES AND THEY ASKED ME WHERE WE BOUGHT OUR CANOPY, BECAUSE IT WAS NOTICEABLY COOLER UNDER OURS ON A 95 DEGREE DAY THEN IT WAS UNDER THEIR CANOPIES. AS WE LOOKED AROUND AT ALL OF THE OTHER VENDORS AFTER WE WERE TOLD ABOUT HOW NICE OURS WAS, 8 OUT OF 10 VENDORS HAD CANOPIES THAT WE VERY THIN AND THEY WERE BLOWING AROUND AND LIFTING OFF THE GROUND WHEN IT WASNT EVEN VERY WINDY (5-8MPH). AFTER CLOSING UP THE CANOPY TO PUT IT AWAY WE FOUND THAT THEY INCLUDED A REALLY AWESOME ROLLING STORAGE BAG WITH OUR PURCHASE. ALL IN ALL WE FEEL THAT WE MADE A GREAT DECISION IN BUYING THIS CANOPY.
