We
bought an EZUP this season online through a place in West Virginia (H&L E-Z
UP, www.myezup.com). Their prices were
pretty good and they were nice to deal with. They had a deal going where
you could upgrade to a better (heavier weight cover) for free. We got the
Enterprise Model. It is extremely easy to set up. Last year we had
one of their cheaper (on sale for $79) models, a "Sprint", with green
& white stripes. It was much more difficult to erect and didn't last
the season. One of the metal struts broke clean through. (I guess
you get what you pay for!) We can't use the stakes, as our market is on a
hard surface, so we also bought a set of E-Z heavy-duty weight bags (sold
separately for $50). Each of the 4 bags holds 40 lbs. of sand and they
clip on & velcro around the legs very easily. They are the heaviest
thing we bring to market, but we feel it's worth it. I've heard enough
horror stories about winds upending the shelters and causing injury. Also,
people could trip more easily on gallon water jugs, guy wires, ropes, etc.
The bags have a relatively narrow profile--less to trip over, less chance of the
liability issue rearing its ugly head!
