I wanted to purchase a tent for my deck 12x12 for overhead sun protection. Is this canopy appropriate?

I use this for my pop up shop and it is truly amazing. Get some camping tent seam sealer and take the time to seal the seams. It,s pretty light weight and you would need to weight it down to keep in from blowing away.

I suspect it's OK for temporary use for your application; though you would need to secure it to the deck properly with bolts. Otherwise, a strong wind will blow it away.

The material used, is water resistant. In rain, I can tell you, it can tolerate rain, but if you have very much, forget it, it'll soak through. So if you want it so you can stay dry during pouring rain, it'll drip on you. It's not designed for long term use and is all over the manufacturers webite. That being said. I have a friend who's done exactly as you're thinking. Though has the commercial grade, worth the extra money. They screwed the feet into the deck, and they lower the legs completely when they are not using it.

Definitely. It's very small when packed up. Perfect for a bug out bag. I would recommend getting a tarp with some paracord to make a sun block. The sun will absolutly cook you in that tent. Very little ventilation.

Martina, sorry to take so long to respond. Yes, this is a good little shade tent; I would recommend it for attending afternoon events, yard and park visits, even camping under good weather. I wouldn't recommend it for anything too strenuous - not the tent for your next McKinley summit, or even more than a moderate rain storm. All in all, a great tent for a great price for great weather. Hope that helps!

Yes, I think so.... make sure it is set up right with no loose places where water will pool on the top.... great tent!

I think it would probably be just adequate. However, be aware that this tarp isn't really 7x10. It's more like 6.5' x 9.5'. If I was going to go up in size, I'd probably look for something just a little wider. The 8x10 Equinox Egret tarp sold here on Amazon is a nice size and a good value too, though it's also somewhat heavier.

I would say, "yes", given the thickness of the canopy. It's very well made. Though since it has open sides, it would obviously not protect you from reflected UV, unless you buy sides separately. I set-up mine on a grassy field - no issues.

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.

I would suggest that you purchase the Z-Shade Venture 10' x 10' Pop Up Instant Shelter Canopy (also found on Amazon) rather than trying to fit a product not specifically for the Venture.

Yes it is. It's for the big lots south hampton gazebo. It is the replacement canopy only. Here is the instruction manual which states it's 11' x 13'. http://www.biglots.com/images/pdf/810046339.pdf

This canopy works well for storage of tools, machinery and of course a good size vehicle . To keep down the moisture , I placed 7ml tarp down as ground cover . Every thing stay"s dry . The zipper is heavy duty and will not blow open. Best of luck with yours !

We live in Miami and have fairly windy days in the summer with heavy rain. We have installed our canopy using aircraft cable to trees at the perimeter of our yard, tightened up with turnbuckles and removable using lockable steel caribiners at the canopy corners. We just didn't want the look of giant poles, so our canopy looks more like a floating sail overhead. :-) Also, if you use a post you actually need to sink the poles deeper than 3 feet...the rule of thumb is 1/3 below ground, 2/3 above. So for a sail mounted 8' high, you would need a 12' pole with 4' buried. Steel pipe 3.5-4" is recommended, especially for bigger sails in a windy area.

This piece is huge....for some reason I assumed the canopy was included so I made a mistake in this order and used it to customize my patio enclosure....It should fit your canopy just fine if you are sure of the dimensions...Blessings

Yes this is for the 10 x 10 canopy. The trick to saving this from constantly ripping in strong wind is NOT to secure the Velcro fasteners along the top rails. The corner post openings are reinforced and will keep it on without the rest being tied down with the Velcro tabs. That is the area where it usually rips in high wind.

I changed my canopy twice. It's tricky but as long as you have a ladder tall enough for the center it's doable. My whole canopy, frame and all was torn out by a storm even though it was bolted down to my deck. It was nice while it lasted!

No...it is very flimsy. Canvas ripped after 3 weeks. Company did send us a replacement canopy but I do not think it will last through the summer.

Yes I do . My old canopy was damaged I replaced with this one. It fits very well.

no chance, its not wide or tall enough if you're looking to make it a canopy
