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.
