Exactly What I Wanted
Needed Something smaller than the normal 10 by 10 canopy as it is normally just myself my spouse and one kid at any sport activity watching are other child. the legs could be a little thicker but we do not use it set all the way to the highest setting. it works perfectly and is just the right height to cover us from the Sun but not constantly catch the wind gusts. absolutely helps protect from the heat of the Sun. Unless your arm span is greater than 6' it will take 2 of you to set it up but can be broken down by one person. I like the pins at the very top rather than having to push the buttons in and a pinch my fingers.I do wish it was closer to $40-$50 because in comparison paying almost the s. me as the 10x10 is a little detering. If Walmart had had their 6 by 4 option in stock I would have purchased it because it was only $30 versus this one for $60
T**!
Got it made in the SHADE! But I’d like a second Canopy!
The media could not be loaded. I Have had this for two yrs now. I wish I Gould buy a spare canopy! To switch out with. I use this for shade on my front deck. The extreme heat is bad enough but the Sun makes it a lot worse! Very sturdy and what a difference having the shade to sit in and enjoy my porch and flowers! I left it up for a few days during wind and rain and it passed all tests lol. It is NOT Waterproof but That doesn’t bother me, I’d never sit out in the rain under a metal frame! The video shows how the heavy hard rain just rolled off the canopy as if it were Teflon! That’s all I really cared about because it often rains in the Adirondacks and if I leave it up I need to feel secure that it won’t be destroyed if I’m not home. I DO take the canopy off literally on a daily basis if it’s going to storm. It does take two to open the frame to set it up but takes so very little effort doing the canopy yourself. Two to three min to throw it on and latch the Velcro tabs that holds it in place and that’s because I fuss with it lol. Takes about two min to take it off and another min to fold it to put away. I don’t mind doing this at all, very easy and I get such great joy out of getting so much more outside time without the sun driving me back inside! I will be buying another one for my back deck in the Spring. Mine measures 6’X4’ and I have two chairs and a park bench to sit on. I got the smaller Canopy Tent so it would NOT go under the Eve of my roof. No sense in asking for trouble. This was a great buy and I’m completely pleased. Check out my video and pics.

Excellent Dimensions, Versatile!
For me this was the best 60 bucks i've spent in a while.USES:I keep it out and open all the time. When i'm pulling weeds, i can move it around with me using just one hand, and i can get a lot more done not being beaten down by the heat. I don't like hats when it's hot, but i can't expose my scalp to the sun, so this is my saving grace.It's great for the pets - they can sit out on the lawn or when it's a little damp and stay dry and cool. I set it low for them, so it feels more intimate.I plan on taking it camping - can put a curtain around it to cover supplies, or use it as portable shade. Would make a great privacy tent, with some binder clips and a big sheet.I don't have a truck anymore, so i can't take the big 10x10 to flea markets anymore - takes up space my merch did. Now i can do both. I sell buttons and magnets, so it's PERFECT.PRODUCT QUALITY:It comes with a nice carrying case, the canopy, and some ground spikes.You'll likely need those ground spikes, or some weights, because the whole thing is very lightweight, and a strong wind would pick it up and move it easily.The frame lightweight and a little thin, but not super fragile. This is great to keep the weight down, but if you are too rough with it, you could damage it. 4x6 is a hard size to find, so just be careful not to be too rough with it when pulling it around, which you should do even with the sturdier canopies. Worth the effort.The canopy is thin and not waterproof. I went to Harbor Freight and picked up a 7x9 all-weather plastic tarp, then wrapped the existing canopy with it like a gift and secured the tarp to the canopy with binder clips. (NOT secured to the frame, because that would interfere with folding and opening).OPENING AND CLOSING:To open, one-person only, try to spread all the legs apart with one on the ground and the others in the air. This keeps from pulling too hard on joints, and dragging on the ground.To close, I just get underneath, and pull the down on the joints between the center and the outsides - short tugs, and that joint will bend tighter and tighter until the canopy is closed enough to step outside and push the legs in.Always work between diagonal legs, not left 2 and right 2 - this keeps from putting damaging pressure on the joints.I should make a video.

Great for car shows
This canopy is all about being compact. It folds down to fit in its 32" x 7" x 7" carry bag -- that's smaller than the folding chairs we bring! And, unlike just about every full-size canopy I've ever owned, this little guy actually FITS in its bag.I'm not a big man but I was able to set up and take down this canopy without a helper. My luggage scale says it weighs 15.6 pounds including the bag and stakes. I would have guessed much less than that. When it's set up, there's just enough room for 2 adults in folding chairs, plus our little (12") table.Four stars for sturdiness because it's a little rickety at full height, but it certainly isn't flimsy. It has already survived a few big wind gusts. Overall an excellent value.

Very happy with this canopy.
Feels sturdy, well built.Easy to set up. This is a small, compact, lightweight canopy.I use it to get some shade when I work in the garden.It takes 2 people to set up, but one person can take it down.It closes easily into a very compact frame. Comes with a very practical cloth carrying case with handle.Very good.
