10'x30' Outdoor Canopy Party Wedding Tent,Sunshade Shelter,Outdoor Gazebo Pavilion with 8 Removable Sidewalls Upgraded Thicken Steel Tube (10' x 30' / 8 Removable Sidewalls-1)

I needed three 10 x 30 tents for a 50th Reunion picnic. I purchased one as a test case. We had six people for the assembly and that was enough, any fewer would have been much more difficult. The written instruction sheet was entirely adequate and illustrated how the parts fit together. The assembly should be done with enough patience and time to do it right. Do not think about starting the first assembly at 10:00 a.m. for a noon picnic. After the first assembly to understand how everything goes together it takes about 30 minutes for eight people to set up a tent. Eight people is much better than six and 10 is better than eight so that the eight legs can be held in place as the frame is set up. Doing the setup with fewer than six people strikes me as folly. The design is very nice. The metal pole sections slide together with tapered joints and some of them have twist-lock threads to hold the pieces together. Also, have some tape, such as duct tape, handy to hold the leg sections together during the assembly. Taping is not needed anyplace else other than one place on each of the eight legs. That taping operation takes less than a minute for each of the eight legs and makes the erection of the assembled frame a very smooth operation. Pay attention to the instructions and assemble the metal pole parts and lay them on the ground and then do the final assembly using the corner pieces and mid-pieces that hold the metal sections together. Those plastic parts that join the metal poles have thick walls and are plenty strong enough for the task of holding the metal pieces together and in the correct orientations. Make sure to put the plastic parts on the ground by the metal parts that have been assembled to make it easy to stay organized, i.e., put the four corner pieces at the corners, and then push the metal pieces into the corner pieces. Make certain to push the metal pieces into the plastic pieces all the way. That last 1/2 inch to fully seat the parts is important so that the fabric fits correctly. I found that all three of the tents had perfectly fitting fabric that was gently taught. I can see where someone who is impatient or unwilling to make sure that the metal pieces are fully seated will be frustrated or damage the fabric or have the fabric too loose because it is not properly seated to shed rain properly and have water pool to overload the tent and its frame. We had both gentle wind and rain and no problems. You will see from the photo that we had three tents. We used super heavy duty tie-wraps to pull together the common legs in the middle and that worked very nicely. My experience is that if something does not fit during the assembly that the assembly is not yet correctly done and that one needs to step back, take a breath, and find out what is wrong. The parts I had all fit correctly and went together to form an entirely satisfactory product. The take-down at the end also went very smoothly. We had 10 people working together as we took down the tents and all went smoothly and well. Great product, terrific price, and absolutely no complaints from me. I see no reason why this product cannot be used more than once.

If I could give this a zero I would give it a negative 0, wanted to get something that might be usable more that 1 time, if your going to charge over one hundred make this tent worth it. 6 poles bent just trying to put this thing up, took 4 people and even tho it up the roof looks like it will cave in, this is garbage, I can probably find better at a junk yard. I used the tape that everyone has recommended and that is the only thing keeping this junk up, tones of tape. There is more I even did this in no wind and still this tent is flimsy, I have strapped all sides down so this thing doesn’t go anywhere. If I was you, do what I should have done is look for a better option other than this, pay the extra 30 or 40 dollars and get something you can use more than 1 time. I hate this purchase and I feel ripped off from this company that sold this crap to me. I would have rather bought pvc and tarp as this is the same feeling.

We bought these tents in anticipation of rain on the day of a wedding celebration. We looked at renting some but it would have been close to $1000 to rent 3! So....to Amazon I went to see about buying some, and for a third of the rental cost, I bought 3. Although it ended up not raining, we put one up anyway to provide additional shade, and I'm so glad we did - the tent was perfect for what we needed. It was extremely easy to assemble, in spite of there being a lot of pieces, and it was just as easy to disassemble. It was very spacious and study - we had 3 round tables under it, each with seating for 6, and probably could have easily fit a 4th table. There was a bit of a breeze that day so we used the tie down straps for extra security and the tent hardly moved at all. Chocity (the vendor the tents came from) was great to work with too - they kept me apprised of when the tents would arrive and made sure we were happy with our purchase. Five stars all around!!!

The “canopy” (plastic tarp) ultimately served its purpose for outdoor shade for our graduation party guests but was poorly manufactured and arrived with mismatched and defected parts. The instructions were vague but fairly easy to assemble in a few hours with 2 of us. Ours had incorrectly matched pole ends that did not snap together properly and 2 side panels with upside down windows. We were able to improvise with some creativity and white duct tape to stabilize the mismatched pole ends which held up for the duration of the party. The tarp itself is very thin and tears easily especially at the seams, and the ground spikes were too small to secure a canopy of this size. We had to secure many areas with duct tape that were tearing at the seams and used extra ground spikes with rope to stabilize the exterior of the structure.

Assembling it was very easy to understand with the provided simple instruction paper given. Definitely a two or more man job to do so though since there are so many parts though the tubes aren’t actually heavy. Building it on a crooked surface will complicate the process a lot so I recommend you check out your area beforehand. It was very sturdy and pretty as the photo , but we chose a wrong day where it was raining and windy. Rain leaked through the roof in a lot of areas and the wind kept trying to blow the walls away. Thankfully it was very sturdy but it caused the whole thing to sway a lot chaotically. Had it been a nicer day this would’ve been great product. So please don’t take the chance and use it if you think it’s gonna rain or be real windy. I recommend it anyways with how long it stayed up afterwards and there were no other faults.
