Think about your vehicle. Some fold down
to 4 feet, others to 5 feet. I have one of the inexpensive EZUps that go
down to 4 feet, and have used it for 8 years. Got one that only goes down
to 5 feet and have had it 3 years. Got both at Sam’s Club. I
really loved the smaller one – it fits crosswise behind the front seat,
even in a Subaru Legacy, easily in a RAV4. We got a replacement top for the old
one on internet, but it not only was very heavy and bulky, but wore within a
year. Will probably buy an inexpensive one from Tractor Supply this year
just for the top. I think the newer EZUps knockoffs are pretty
good. The early cheap tents were not. Beth Spaugh http://rhomestead.com

[mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Road's End Farm There are a whole lot of different models on the market, of EZ Ups as
well as other brands. In my experience, you get what you pay for. The first tent I tried was
a cheap big box that was almost impossible to put up. I took it back. The
second one was a cheap (though somewhat more expensive) EZ Up that had a bad
habit of coming apart if the wind came up. The third one was a professional
grade EZ Up bought from a place specializing in them; that one cost me more,
but it's been going to market for 8 years now with no problems. -- Rivka; Finger Lakes NY, Zone 6A now I

There are more "First Ups" at our market. We purchased
ours at WalMart, less than $100, don't know that it will last 10 years, but
looks like it will last several. We are on year three now. - mac We are returning to a Farmers Market this
season after being away from markets for 8 years while we concentrated on our
CSAs and Farmstand. We are looking for recommendations for Easy Up or
similar type tents we can use over our market table. Years ago we used a
real cheap awning which was a pain to set up and didn't last too long. |
