Coleman Instant Canopy 13 ft x 13 ft, 2000035727

We're on our third Coleman pop up, having bought two last summer to replace the one shredded in a severe storm. We leave them up all year to protect the patio furniture, which is much more expensive to replace. The canopies are anchored in the concrete. The legs slide up and down very easily so if there's a storm coming we lower the legs to the lowest setting and the wind doesn't usually bother it. It works because of our unique location but might not work for you.In another review we found that Garden Winds make a replacement canopy that appears more robust than what Coleman gives you in the original set. Odd that Coleman doesn't make a replacement or upgraded canopy but I'm guessing they want to sell the frames too. When these canopies start to tear we'll try the Garden Winds replacements.

Very well made and sturdy, plus the vent at the top creates a comfortable environment in the heat. One does need to tie down the legs in windy conditions!

tears very easy then its days are numbered

This is replacement canopy for me - I've owned two other Colemans, and when i needed a new one, i went right back to this exact model canopy. Set up/take down is easy (best with at least a couple of people, but i've done it alone too!), the pagoda style (no drippy sides that direct the water right down the edge of the living space, the size (i have purchased both the 12x12 and 15x15) which allows me to put my camping tent under the canopy on a rainy weekend of camping), and the cost (comparable for other canopys of lesser qualify and function), keeps me a loyal fan of the Coleman Pagoda style canopy.

The extended area of a 13 x 13 canopy makes a big difference when it's most needed. Yet the zippered bag it comes in is no bigger than one for a 10 x 10 canopy. I've tied 10 x 12 tarps to the eves of the frame and staked them out to add dry space and wind protection during rain storms, to preserve attitudes.I think the canopy material is good for 1 or 2 seasons depending on how often you use it and the weather. The metal frame will last for years. The material just withers in the sun. It gets thinner/brittle and tears with time, usually at points where the material touches the framework, especially at joints.I'd recommend using a soft but sturdy cloth, leather, or other fabric to make pads that wedge between the material top and the frame at the points where they rub the most -- at least until Coleman makes protections that are better than the unsatisfactory attempts they've already made.Over perhaps a dozen years I've bought 4 of these because though they don't don't last long, I've never found anything better close to this price.It's easier to put up with two people but with patience and persistence one person can put it up in about 10-15 minutes alone.
