10' x 20' canopy
Competition season is around the corner and I am in need of a new canopy this year. I had one 10' x 10' EZ UP Canopy that was setup in my backyard and I came home from work on a windy day to find that it had blown down the street.
So, now I'm debating on whether I should buy two 10' x 10' EZ Up canopies, or is there a better built 10' x 20' canopy that I could buy that will withstand the elements in a competition?

They sell a pretty nice 10x20 size canopy at Menard's (don't know if those are where you are) that's got metal poles and bungee-on style tarps for roof and walls that I've been considering picking up for our Cub Scout Pack. My brother's got a pretty nice 12x12 canopy (not EZ-Up brand) that has walls and all, but it cost him somewhere above $200. For me (I'm a cheap arse) I've always been able to find canopies off of CL. I've bought 3 so far for around $60, which is a good deal. All 3 were brand new, maybe used once. Good luck!

I prefer two 10x10 EZ ups as opposed to one 10x20 that takes more people to get them up. I've not had problems with the rain too much.

This is what I use. It is kind of heavy but two people can put it up easily. It is very sturdy in bad weather.

In Seattle there would be no BBQ without canopies much of the time.
Another name for an erected canopy that isn't tied down is a KITE. |

We're still working with two 10'x10' Caravan canopies, always with 240lbs of sandbags!
The other thing to consider is, are you ever going to be setting up/taking down this thing by yourself? The 10'x10's can be done by one person.

This is what I had in mind. Where did you buy this and how much does it cost?

I have been using one of those for the past 3 yrs. Yes they hold up but the downside is that they are very heavy to load and although I have put it up by myself, it is a real pain. Two people are best. I got mine at SAMS for around 200, the brand on mine is KING CANOPY Their website lists them as more expensive but I don't remember paying that much. |

I got mine at Cabelas. It is the industrial one. The poles are bigger (2 inches) and heavier. The wall kit is separate.

I have a 10x20 that sits in the shed most of the time - too heavy to haul around and takes two people to set up. Since I set up at contests solo, I've decided to stick to 10x10 EZ-Ups. If I go with two, I'm goinig to use a gutter between them to avoid the centerline dripping. A lot less time with set-up and tear-down, plus a lot lighter.

I use the 10x20 canopy like the picture above, picked it up at Pep Boys, they run specials on them all the time, of 69 bucks, another 30 for the sidewalls, I can put it up myself without any issues, I picked up a nice canvas duffle bag that all the poles fit into, makes it nice and easy for transport, takes me about 15-20 minutes on my own to put it up. The brand I got from pep boys is Shelter Logic.

A buddy of mine has a 10x20 KD Kanopy that he sets up alone alot. It's an aluminum frame so it's lighter than my 10x10 e-z-up and it sets up in about the same amount of time.

That KD Kanopy looks great. Do you have any idea what the 10x20's sell for? Their web site doesn't list any prices.
