Quictent 10x20 ft Heavy Duty Car Canopy Galvanized Frame Carport Outdoor Party Tent Boat Shelter with 3 Reinforced Steel Cables - White

I use these for music festivals. This is the nicest one I've used yet. Thick supports and nice bungees. Quality product!

Update. Heavy winds recently caused major damage to 6 of the poles and one of the 3 corner galvanized steel support beams. Had to take the entire thing apart just to see what poles needed to be replaced and if the canopy was ripped or torn. To my amazement the canopy was undamaged and still strong after 2 years of sun and winds. I knew the 10X20 was no longer under any warranty but I contacted Quictent. As before, the customer service was more than excellent. Within a few days we had replacement parts on our doorstep. I couldn't believe the speed, accuracy and cost of the shipment. Summer, at Quictent, was so kind and helpful! The BEST customer service anywhere! We will spend a couple hours putting up the canopy this week. And I can confidently know that if winds cause a problem again I can always rely on the excellent customer service. Quictent has a return customer for sure.Previous Review: We purchased the 10X20 Heavy Duty Galvanized Quictent for our old boat as boat covers always wore out so quickly. The unit went up quite easily. The directions only had pictures so it did take 2 older people a couple hours to set up. Everything went great for 6 months. However, we had a strong wind as the aftermath of Hurricane Debbie reached our area. I had not put the sandbags in place and should have... The wind carried away the tent but we were able to catch it (with the help of my granddaughter), lowered it to the ground and found that 2 of the poles were badly bent. I know the wind was too much for the carport to survive, but it did. The news said we had 35 mile an hour winds that day. I contacted Quictent's customer service and Betty was as good a customer service agent as you can get. I knew there were no warranties due to weather so I was expecting the worst. Betty handled everything within a couple days and Quictent is sending us 2 new poles at no cost. This shocked me as I knew it was not under warranty and who gives this kind of service these days!?? I will not hesitate to purchase from them again so even though it blew away temporarily, it was NOT the fault of company. I'm going to attach the sandbags to the 6 poles along with the tent stakes when we get it back up. Thanks Quictent!

I had little difficulty assembling this Quictent 10' x 20' Upgraded Heavy-duty carport reinforced with 3 steel cables by myself. The instructions consist of drawings only -- and, these surely could be improved. STEP 1 does not even identify the various joiner hardware (A, B, C, and D) in the assembly drawing! It identifies "A", but none of the rest of the joiners are identified on the drawing. But, on the plus side, each major assembly part is clearly identified with a sticker. That is impressive.There is a parts list (identifying parts with drawings or with the labels/stickers). It was easy to make sure all parts were included. Yes-- all parts were accounted for. (There was one item that was shown in Parts List as a drawing, supposedly consisting of 4 pcs, that I couldn't make head nor tails of. The drawing of the part does not look like anything that I can identify. It is the last item listed in column 1 of the Parts List.)In order to get multiple 10' sections, pole #2 and pole #4 get connected together, repeatedly. This creates 6 ten-foot sections that get assembled using the connector parts. Poles #2 and #4 actually are supposed to twist together to create a stronger 10 ft section. But, the "twist" is a bit difficult to achieve. I found that the "twist" was achieved better after having assembled (or during assembly) into the connector parts. I noted, however, that after I thought the top portion was complete (with the canopy attached) some of the 10 ft sections seemed distorted. It turned out that the sections had become "untwisted" somehow. So, to get the pole sections "twisted" back fully I removed some of the bungee cords in order to free up the 10 ft section and get it straight enough to twist the two sections back together.The 6 ten-foot sections seem fairly strong, but I think that a better "twist" mechanism is warranted for connecting the two poles. Even though all sections are now "twisted" together, I see a bit of distortion caused by the pull of the bungee cords on the ten-foot sections. Not terrible, but noticeable.Overall, the car port seems very sturdy -- especially because it has the 3 steel cables. The company sells a less expensive version without the 3 steel cables. I recommend going with the stability that the steel cables provide.The 4 weight bags that are provided are good. But, they are smaller than others that are available online. I purchased a set of larger weight bags (probably hold twice as much weight as the ones that come with the car port.) I then used two of the 4 smaller weight bags that came with the unit to weigh down the two middle poles. So, I have weights on all 6 legs of the car port.I am mostly impressed by the quality of the unit and by the sturdiness of the assembled product. Aside from the few small items mentioned above, I do recommend this unit.
