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.
