[Market-farming] Canopy question

Thanks for the help.  We will move the canopy in our truck, so the 
collapsed length is not a great issue. 

Quoting Beth Spaugh
   * :

   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 weeks. I need to get a shelter. Have been looking online at EZ 
Ups and 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.
