I have had this canopy for years. Have never had no problem.
This shelter is too fragile for the outdoors. No sooner was it built and secured, it was destroyed by the mildest wind. Any wind managed to bend the frame and warps it. It?s flimsy and the joints are welded improperly leaving huge gaps. Awful awful product. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Bought this about 7 Years agoish. Little issues here an there nothing a few scouts can’t fix. Thanks this has helped the troop immensely. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
I just installed the structure and it went together exactly as instructed. If you intend to leave this model up year round, consider where you are placing it, i.e., on concrete, grass, dirt etc.. Also, what are your inclement weather conditions. You may want to consider a sturdier model or plan to make your own modifications. If your summer conditions are hot, the canopy may need to be replaced periodically. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
I've been using this canopy for over a decade now. Performs perfectly every time. I use the dining fly mostly in camp over my picnic table and camp chairs. An 8' picnic table and cooking goes under one half and the other half I put my camp chairs for socializing during inclimate weather. Relatives also ask me to set it up for family events, birthdays, graduations, picnics, BBQ, holiday parties, etc.
To expediate set-up I color coded the poles at the joint. Match the colors and place the poles in their respective spot. I grouped the bungies in groups of 6. Build the frame, stretch the tarp and anchor with 6 bungies (one at each corner and two in the middle), Then lift up one side and place a leg in the center, then do both corners. Repeat on other side. Then add the other bungies. I use 12" long aluminum military grade stakes to anchor it down. I use 3/8" neon rope with slip knots at both ends. This thing never moves even in high winds. Camped in everything from 7" of hard rain to hail storms under it. No issues and works fantastic. Picture is from one primitive campsite, everything brought in by boat. This was a fishing/camping trip.
