The real cheep ones are usually white. You do not want a white one. The sun will come right through it.

That is true, besides, add the white side walls and it looks like a Red Cross thing. :lol:

i have used sereral pop up tents over the years. The ones that they have at costco are definetely the best as far as canvas, but really expensive. The only down side is that they are really heavy to lug around even if the bag has wheels. The ones that they sell at wallmart are light and the easiest to set up. you dont even need another person to set it up. Really. i set mines up in minutes all the time. The bag has wheels on in to make moving it around easier. "eazy up" vs "first up"...."first up" the winner

Thanks all for the feedback. I guess I will be going to Wallmart first, then to a sporting goods store.

I've used both Ez-up and off brand tents for my auto swap/car shows. By far the EZ-up is build better at least when you get into the ones with straight down legs. I've had 2 10 x 10's for at least 5 years of regular use, and 10 x 20 that's way to heavy to lift but I only use it 8 times a year. The EZ-up 10 x 10 I can put up and take down by myself with no problem but then I do it all the time.
About 1-1/2 years ago a bought two imported copies and they are real junk and a few pounds heavier than EZ-ups and since they don't slide as they should I need help with these.

EZ-up has a company owned outlet in Grand Terrace that sells repaired returns at a decent price. But I can usually buy brand new in box from a dealer at the swaps cheaper.
