Will this canopy fit over a typical table/bench configuration found at most campsites? Does anyone use it this way?

Not a good way to use it .... Too small . Perfect to sit under with some folding chairs

It is a small canopy only 6x6 and the height is maybe 5'. You would have to exercise extreme caution when leaving the table to avoid hitting your head.

The Quik Shade Go is too small to use over a picnic table comfortably. We prefer to use our 8' X 8' Quik Shade over our camp table. We like to take the 6' x 6' Quik Shade Backpack to youth sporting events.

I purchased this canopy for my Boy Scout Troop to use as a dining fly/weather shelter for camping trips. A week-long summer camp is the only test this shelter had, and it performed adequately through hot muggy weather and plenty of rain. The Scouts figured out the setup without much trouble. Since July weather is all this item has seen, I cannot comment on winter performance.

Yes, I purchased one of these so I could make a smaller table for my cab over camper. The one that came stock with the camper is also designed to drop into the seating area and become a bed. It was just to big to be a table. I love having the option of either a large table when I need the extra bed or an nice little 18"x18" table for the majority of time. If you would like me to make a table top for you that would not be a problem. Let me know what your dimensions are, what material you are looking for and also a price range and I am sure I can make something to meet any budget.

Yes you can. When we set it up over a stationary picnic table like you would find in a National Forest campground we usually tuck the floor so that we only use half of it. Sometimes we don' use the floor at all. It snaps to the sides at the floor level so you can snap just the ones you want. We think the tent would be great even if you could not afford, or have room to carry, the floor. I do think that it is a boon when you are camping where there is rain or continuously wet ground. There is something very nice about stepping on a dry floor. You can change your wet boots without having to do the hopping around keep your foot off the wet floor dance. Yes you can.

I don't know where all the negatives come from, we use ours camping in Colorado winds. It stays on the table for days. I leave the canopy wings folded down in the vertical position until shade needed and the lift them up for preparing meals. It would work on railings if they were horizontal 2 x 4 or 2 x 6s. It would work on bleachers if the seats were flat like a picnic table seat. The clamps can be rotated before setting it up. The people behind you would be pretty upset due to the obstruction of their view. The canopy can be leaned to either side, raised or lowered in height. The poles and canopy can fit any table length up to about 10 foot long. I don't know where all the negatives come from, we use ours camping in Colorado winds. It stays on the table for days.

assuming they are 4 feet wide, you may be able to get two under the canopy. Even so, likely folks on the outer edges of the tables would not be fully under the canopy. It's covered footprint is 10 feet by 10 feet

The answer is yes on all measurements. I leave my canopy on and angle it the same as the cover and it fits perfectly.

ours was a bit big, for the canopy. All we have to do is put it down after a breezy thunderstorm. Everything is fine...it works! Just doesn't fit perfectly. If you can work with that, it should be fine. If not, just return it for a smaller size. We're happy we got what we got....it works great for our needs!

My canopy has a little slant to the legs, as I think they all do. Some of the less expensive canopies though seem to have a severe slant making the base considerably larger than the top. I would have doubts about the screen working with those unless you can pull the legs in a bit - which might be possible?????

If your canopy is a true 10x10 it should fit. The canopy I have is 10x10 @ the bottom but at the top it's only 8x8 which is weird, so it has a little slack at the top. Doesn't really bother me but if you want a true tight fit you'll need a true 10x10. Hope that helps. ..

The mesh material is soft. Some people with 10x10 STRAIGHT leg canopies have had no fit problems. I have a Coleman 10x10 straight leg canopy and the screen is pretty tight.

When the canopy is set at full height the edges are just shy of 6' 3". At least I feel I have to slightly duck to enter and I am 6' 2" tall. An easel that tops out at 7' may be workable depending on how wide it is. Overall I would say that you would be crowding yourself with this canopy. I use it for camping and am very satisfied with it but for what you want I would probably go for a larger on like the 12' x 12'.

The outside of the canopy overlaps the netting at the top. It worked well for me last year.

Yes, it was hard to get over, the frame has to be even all the way around, just inch it down little at time, wait tip ends are down before fastening velcro on inner frame, hope this helps, once in place it's a great fit, we take it down for the winter, but we had once ice storm that tore some of the cloth in the velcro areas around the frame, ordered a replacement canopy to use next season and hope fits just as good

We have it mounted over a parking spot to keep the direct sun off the car for the most of the day. It provides ample shade for our needs. It would work over an outside picnic table as well, provided it was positioned for the time of day you were most likely to need it as the shade moves with the sun.

Easy to do... once assembled, the tent is really quite light and movable . just don't move it any wind. Once you get it over the table, then stake it into the ground and rig the guy lines ( two per pole).There is a fixed loop on the center of the tent to rig a light . I hang a large 200W lamp from mine... lights the tent up like daytime When I use it... a nice table lamp on the picnic table is what I use mostly.Hope you get this awesome tent/ screen house ... It's a total delight....enjoy !

It would look a bit better on a canopy bed with an arch. Ours didn't come with one and it still looks nice but a little saggy. I think it would work for most canopy beds. It has holes on each corner so you just slip it on. Super easy.
