The downside for this cover as with most made of this material is the longevity. The sun does a number on the fabric and in less than a year it needs to be replaced. This is no reflection on the quality of the product. If there are fabrics more resistant to the affects of the sun and the breakdown of the fabric, perhaps I need to search them out. However, for the price this is a great product, over the years this is probably the 5th one I've ordered.

This is my second purchase of this canopy. I like the quality and the color along with the way it looks. Perfect fit!!

good vaey good

We needed a new cover for our 10x10 shade canopy, so we bought this one. The listing says 10x10, but the package it came in listed it as 12x12. The fabric is a light polyester type. You can see in the photo that the tan canopy is way too big for our 10x10 frame. The black cord that came with the canopy helps to anchor it to the frame at the corners. With just the black cord holding it to the frame the canopy is way too loose & blows about in the wind lifting the 10x10 frame off the ground! We added the red cord that goes through the mini aluminum holes (see the photo), this cording helps keep the canopy stable. For us it doesn't matter that it's too big. Keeps the sun off. When it rains the rain will mist through the canopy & you will get wet. The rain will make puddles in the canopy & when emptied will drench you--if that matters. After making adjustments to the original canopy, this works for us. Water resistant-NO, water-proof-NO, 2-person easy to install. After 4 months the fabric has faded & it no longer feels soft. My canopy is set up outside everyday so it can have direct sunlight for 8+ hours, plus all weather situations.

Fades quick in the hot California sun, but what doesn't in California. Purchased several of these canopies over the years last about 2-3 summers and that is with storing them in the winter.
