How are you going to transport your canopy? A few collapse down to 4 foot
length, which will fit crosswise behind the front seats in some vehicles
(old Legacy, new RAV4). They fall down where backseat passengers' feet would
be, in space that is challenging to use otherwise.

I am new to this and plan to attend a local farmers market starting in two

Caravan canopies. Any recommendations? 


We had quite a discussion on this some time ago, unless I'm mixing my lists
up -- you might check the archives.

You might consider avoiding buying from a big box store; a lot of people
have reported horrible quality from them, in some cases even from brands
that seem to produce perfectly good tents otherwise.

I have an EZ UP Speed Shelter that I'm happy with. I had an EZ UP Dome
before that, which was OK except that in windy conditions the top assembly
sometimes disassembled itself. The Speed Shelter is a commercial model, the
Dome a home use model; based on that I'd really recommend a commercial
model.
