Canopies
Quik Shade
Quik Shade		 I've have a Quik Shade 12x12 and a 10x10 "Weekender" canopy.

My favorite has been the 10x10 as it is easy to setup by yourself and I got it on clearance from Sports Authority for $50. Construction is decent on both. Quik Shade doesn't make wall panels for the 12x12 which would be nice to block the sun or to keep the rain out but, an 8x10 tarp does the job just as well.

sports4less.com has decent prices if you have to pay retail.

EZ-Up
EZ-Up		 EZ-Up is another popular alternative.

I have a 10'x20' for when we need a big pit space. The EZ-Up's are a little more expensive but the quality is generally regarded as being superior to the Quik Shade. There's a larger selection of accessories for the EZ-Up's and you can order each part individually if you ever need to make repairs. See ezup.com for more information.

harborfreight.com sells 'em relatively cheaply.

Other EZ-Style Canopy Options
  • Caravan - The Popular Costco Brand and my next canopy purchase.
  • try-tech.com - cheaper than Harbor Frieght.
Hard Up's - They're more work but tend to be large and sturdy.
