This review is based off of what I read prior to purchase and then my experience once I got the sun shade and used it for the first time. This is a typical accordion type tent shade. The aluminum frame is sturdy enough for its designed use but will not tolerate abuse well. It is exactly like the 10x10 skeleton tent shades that I’ve had for years that you see at soccer games or other events. Again you need to show the skeleton some care when setting up and taking down and it will last for years. Second thing is have at least one other person helping that is capable of mirroring your motions to stretch the frame with you in coordination. Take time to strap on the nylon top stretch it carefully over the corners and lift the legs up into place. The sakes and tie-outs are typical issue and work when expecting little wind. They are a bit cheap but they work. If expecting any gusty wind I’d suggest tent stakes or if on cement use lifting weights to secure the tent down. Remember the tent is only as good as the care and preparation you give to securing it in place. Both the staking and the iron weights worked great for me as we installed over cement and anchored to some nearby grass as well. To give perspective...We had light to medium rain and 17 mph wind gusts for the day and the tent did not move it did not bend or have any issues. This is a great event tent that is meant to be deployed and removed for event use.... and not a permanent fixture in your back yard surviving all summer. Having read some of the prior reviews I have this to offer.... use common sense. Reading other comments had me concerned but there is no need to be. Frankly the only way this ends up like a ball of scrap metal or bent to crap is if you let it. It won’t survive a storm most likely unless you take the top off. It won’t survive as a permanent out building nor is it meant to be. It is a sunshade or weather shade you shouldn’t expect it to be circus tent. If you don’t weight or stake it down or if you leave it unattended in your yard for the summer you should definitely expect problems. This tent worked great for our grad party on a dreary rainy windy day. Everyone who saw it was impressed by it. It unpacks and sets up in less than 30 minutes and comes down just as quick with a good helper. Only observation ...not complaint... if you want it not leak at all you might want to use some tent seam sealer prior to any rain. We had light rain and a few seams dripped very occasionally. Not any issue but don’t expect the nylon top to be waterproof.... the material seems to be very water resistant but the sewn seams are not. The top is made is of light nylon and compares to my other tents...not super durable but typical general sun shade that will last if you take care of it. Be sure to let it dry out if wet or it will not last long. For the money this is great. Several parents with grad parties next year already asked to borrow it.
