Does the underneath of the canopy look shiny or is it the same as the top? It says the underneath is vinyl coated. Does it breath well?

The underside is the same as the top. It seems to be treated with a water repellent. It is not vinyl. Love the quality, and it looks great.

I also did not notice that the underside is shiny. But the umbrella does repel the rain. I currently have two of these umbrellas and wish I could get one for my 9 x 11 umbrella. (not sure of those dimensions)

i have put my umbrella up for the winter, but as I remember the underside looks the same and as far as 'breathe well' I am not sure what exactly you are asking. I was perfectly pleased with the umbrella top and would certainly recommend it .

Mine does not appear to be vinyl coated. It looks and fits great and has not mildewed.

The underside is the same as the top, yes it breathes well !! Great cost effective alternative to purchasing an entirely new umbrella!! Color was true to photo.

What do you mean by "the bottom of the canopy"? Mine looks just like the photo on the sale listing.

My was not clear. The king canopy will not withstand any wind at all. The sightest win and the plastic is off the frame. I tried tying it down but this did not work .

I just gave it a wash today. It is not shiny, but looks great. I think there was a coating that should have been washed off before using. Worked great and we love it.

I bought the gray cover, and it is clearly vinyl. I can't address the tan colored cover, since I didn't buy it. We use ours on a covered patio, and it works well as a dust cover and to protect against light moisture. It's not exposed to heavy rain or strong wind.

It is a 3 season tent for sure. The upper half of the tent is a breathable mesh and is not a great insulator. Using it on a windswept area would be drafty even with a buttoned up rainfly. This makes it awesome in the summertime though because it breathes so well.

Hi! Ours was in the sun all last summer last year and still looks just like when we got it. We love it! We got the green one!

We have not opened ours yet as it's still winter here but the description says that a uv sun blocking canopy is included. Maybe going to the One step Ahead website would help answer any additional questions.

I just had an event with pouring rain for over night. The canopy will keep it dry no dripping but it caught pool of rain on the edge of the frame and it eventually started dripping. I would still cver with those outdoor plastic table cloth just in case. The canopy is made very good quality I am very happy with it.

The shade is wonderful. I use it in the bright Colorado sun. There is also a kickstand.

The panels that actually surround the tent or solid fabric they don't really let in a lot of breeze but it does keep the bugs out what I did was by sheer curtains and put that up as well cheap fix from the dollar store good luck

It is more flat than shiny. It has a very slight sheen to it when the light hits it right, similar to a good quality bed sheet. It's a very nice set. We were pleasantly surprised.

It is definitely vinyl/plastic on top with a little bit of fabric on the sides towards the rear. Great seat, using it for the past three months!!

Yes it is. This is our 2nd replacement canopy and both have fit well and although the color fades, they both faded much slower than the original.

The shade is silver. It attaches to the foot of the pram and is used with the canopy that is already on the pram.

I have the shiny side up on mine but I don't think it matters. I just examined mine closely and it looks fine after the past summer's use. I swear by it. I have live oak trees and they drop something all year round. No more trying to remove the top cover of the A/C with the fan hooked to it.

The sides have flapped velcro, so it sticks out of the fabric. The sides velcro wraps around the metal bars at the top of the corners. I fold up the canopy top to make room to attach the sides. I then attach the sides wrapping the velcro straps around the metal on the frame, get that all situated, then fold the canopy top back down over the sides. It looks nice and clean.
