EAGLE PEAK 13x13 Straight Leg Pop Up Canopy Tent Instant Outdoor Canopy Easy Single Person Set up Folding Shelter w/Auto Extending Eaves 169 Square Feet of Shade (Gray)

I spent an entire afternoon looking at probably every single canopy on Amazon. Needed to replace our old canopy that got ruined in a storm. Old canopies cover had become brittle and was ripping apart anyway. Very happy with this one it went up easy and is obviously well made. The cherry on top is the drainage holes on the canopy for rain! If you ever had your canopy collapse because of rain collection you know that this is a good idea. We leave our canopy up all summer because we have no shade in the backyard, I'd say this one's probably going to hold up for a number of seasons. Also I like this one because you can buy a replacement top unlike our previous one.

We read the reviews for this unit. We have a different 12'x12' already that we are very happy with but were attracted to the setup of this one and its 13'x13' footprint. The bad reviews all had the same basic problems listed; small canopy poke throughs at the corner in the setup, legs are not heavy duty enough, tie down ropes don't help... etc.We took a chance, because there were way more people pleased with the product than the few unhappy ones. We set up the canopy immediately upon receiving it and took extreme care in doing so. Sure enough, the upper (small) canopy had an arm poke through, just as we had read. That small canopy does not have reinforced corners like the large canopy does. We recommend a gorilla tape reinforcing on the inside of that pocket.The AWESOME GOOD NEWS is first thing on Monday morning we emailed pictures of what happened to the Customer Service people as directed by the Amazon System and within an hour we had a new small canopy being shipped to us. It came today. We will be doubling the canopy up, one inside the other and soften all corners including the one that failed with a small piece of gorilla tape folded into the pocket of the interior corners. We spoke to CS about reinforcing those corners in the future.The other complaint was that the legs were not sturdy enough to "resist a mild breeze". Well, if you would like them to increase the thickness of the walls of the tubes used, to be able to handle 30 mph winds the unit would now weigh over a hundred pounds and the cost would be about $500.00. No one would buy one!!! So, we took a set of conduits that we had lying around, and zip tied them to the side of the four legs, one top zip and one at bottom (see pictures).The last complaint was about the tie down cords being ineffective. All we can say about that is the unit is a center controlled pop up unit and the guide brackets at the legs are not meant to lock in as on most other types of button lock units. If you tie the cords to the bottom bracket of the leg when the canopy is set up and the wind catches the canvas and pulls up, the ropes pull down on that bracket and thusly are trying to FOLD YOUR CANOPY UP!! Tie the ropes to the top bracket (see pictures). Double stake the bottoms! They give you 8 hooks! Two for each rope! Who does that!? Don't be silly enough to think that sand (as on a beach) is sufficient to stake to. You have to use your heads. No don't stake them to your heads. You know what we mean (or maybe you don't and wrote a bad review after total failure?)We also bought some very nice 5# weights at the hardware store for 6.00 each to help with the very nice weight sandbags that come with the unit (they have handles on those sandbags!!).We are very happy with the choice we made in purchasing this unit. We had it set up for a week, night and day and had NO issues. Customer service solved the one problem we did encounter and did it very quickly.If you are willing to do a little extra precautionary work this canopy ROCKS! If you are careless, or not at all mechanically, or common-sense savvy you won't be happy. You should then look for that $500.00 to $800.00 unit that is stupid proof. Oh yeah, that's right... it doesn't exist.

Nice product , easy set up with the easy push from the center even for a 13x13 one person can easily do it. I have had many easy ups over the years and honestly this one at half the price seems to be built just as well and easier set up

Original post: Three of the screws have fallen out of the frame and we were unable to find two of them. This otherwise excellent product is diminished by the fact that I am unable to find any means to communicate with the vendor on Amazon.Revised post: The falling screws appear in many reviews and seem to be an on-going quality-assurance problem for Eagle Peak. But to their credit they totally stand behind the product. I had just left on a 30-day Road Trip with this product when I had my issues with screws, so it was difficult to arrange for delivery of replacement parts as we were on the road every day and never in one place long enough. But the customer support people gave me the size specifications for the screws that I lost and I was able to find them at a Lowe's somewhere in upstate New York. When we got home there were two large boxes from Eagle Peak waiting for us with not just a large bag of the various nuts and bolts but also various plastic parts that may become maintenance parts. In addition, they included two each complete sets of rail parts, both the side scissor mechanism and the corner mechanism. In my opinion this goes well beyond any expectation I have ever had for a pop-up tent vendor as most of them don't even have a process for getting replacement parts. It's nice to know that I will be able to repair this item as needed over the years. And I thank Eagle Peak for going above and beyond.

Love the canopy, the frame was broke and we fixed with duct tape for the weekend. Sent email to Eagle Peak and sending a new frame. Awesome customer service. This is our second Eagle Peak canopy they hold up great in strong wind and rain.

i found this very heavy and awkward to set up and definitely couldn't do it on my own. it took two pretty strong guys to get the frame extended, the color was also marketed and pictured as grey, but was actually more a hazard green-yellow with a grey top.

Nice canopy, easy to setup and take down!

As stated, this canopy is easy to set up. I like the 3 heights available and the fact that 4 bags were includes with the purchase to add weight to each pole. The color we chose is grest. Very happy with this purchasr
