E-Z UP Spectator Instant Shelter Canopy, 13' x 13' with 169 sq ft of Shade, Vented Roof, Royal Blue Dual Tone

Update 6/1/2025: Still works great and we have used it a good bit. It still hasn't blown over, but we do use caution and pull it down if the wind gets crazy. It's been camping with us several times and is nice for shade and rain.Original from 2023: We got this because a previous awning was a bit too small when camping in the rain. We took this one up to a camping spot some 9400 feet above sea level during a somewhat stormy week. It worked well to keep us dry when the rains came down. It did have a couple small drips along a seam at the bottom, but I didn't treat it with a waterproofing spray yet so I'm not surprised as it isn't adervised as waterproof. One night we had a huge thunderstorm come through with at least an inch of water falling (based on empty buckets filling up). The rains came down and the floods came up. We stood under it and watched the show Mother Nature put on for us. We stayed dry and enjoyed all the lightening and thunder.We didn't have huge winds so I can't say anything for the sturdiness/stability. These things are notorious for folding up in higher winds. I don't think there is a brand out there that can handle winds.

We used this for a shade area at the farm for the picnic table and dogs. Very nice looking, easy to install and take down. When the winds picked up, we needed to quickly bring in the corners so it would not get caught in the wind - very easy to do.However, we were away for the day and and unexpected storm came up and did end up damaging three support bars - they got bent and now unusable. I am currently looking for replacement bars which I know this company has but need to look into. Many other companies do not offer replacement parts - that is why I went with this brand.

I recently took it out of storange and noticed a big rip. I was wondering if you sell just the top canopy part. If you could respond with a link if they are available. Thank you

Used multiple times a week for softballPerfect size 13x13. Easy to set up and take down.

I'm at the track every weekend with my dirtbike in SWFL. It's not usually very windy here. EZ-UP has lost all reputation with me over the last two years. Reason being, I've bought 3 of these over the last 2 years after getting 2 warranty replacements just to have those break too. The canvas is great. The frame is made of aluminum toothpicks. Anything above a ten mph wind will break this tent. The canvas will not rip, but it will pull on the aluminum frame which instantly breaks. This has to be the cheapest aluminum I've ever laid my eyes on. After inspecting the damage and sending pictures (because EZUP warranty also sucks because they probably know their products are trash) it was evident that even the slightest wind would bend the aluminum. Again, anything >10mph wind will snap the frame. I still have 4 canvas tops from the broken frames though!

Great product. It was windy, but we were prepared and had bought sand bags and went to the local hardware store and bought a 50 lb bag of sand to fill the 4 of them up. Worked great! I gave it 4 stars on the easy to assemble because it wasn't that easy. Maybe after a few uses it will get easier, but we struggled for first timers. No regrets. Would buy again in a heartbeat. Very well made and sturdy. Wind again was no issue. It looks good assembled too and it served it's purpose very well.

Great tent but unfortunately it had a rip on it

I have had several tents and this is the best. The frame is sturdy but light. Love the additional coverage you get with the extended wings. The best feature is the bag. The wide wheels makes transporting it so eay.
