I would avoid the canopies where the legs go out at an angle, any brand. They typically have an 8x8 top but need a 10x10 area because the legs stick out.

Also, I know that guys have good luck with the cheap canopies from Walmart, Sam's, etc, but I've seen to many of those collapse under the weight of heavy rain. Strong winds can damage any canopy, but in general the stronger the frame the more they will stand up to.

Our Undercover has been in heavy use for 5 years and occasional use for two years before that. It has been through more storms than I can remember and is still going strong.
