rmaynard 15,434 #1 Posted May 20, 2015 After going through 3 canopies since 2010 , I am taking delivery on a new professional model 10' x 15' red canopy this year. Cost is almost 3 times that of those I've had in the past, so I hope to get a few more years out of this one.Any contributions to the cause will be rewarded with some of Mrs. M's cookie bars. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,051 #2 Posted May 20, 2015 After seeing Craig's Coleman last year, I went out and got a Coleman 12' x 12' Used it at the Steam Pageant and it was awesome. I'll stand under yours Bob and admire it for a cookie bar! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 15,434 #8 Posted June 3, 2015 Got the new canopy on Monday, but it's been raining ever since. No chance to put it up. Wife stopped me when I started dragging it up from the basement last night. Said you can't set it up in the living room... What? It's not like a greasy old tractor. Anyway, I wasn't going to leave it there. Guess I'll wait for better weather. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 15,434 #9 Posted June 27, 2015 So here is the report on the canopy.DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON ONE OF THESE. I paid almost three times as much for this one, hoping it was better than the others, and it is a piece of crap if it rains.The top is not tight enough to allow even a simple drizzle to run off, so it collects in the low spots and bellies. You have to keep pushing up to dump the water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,051 #10 Posted June 27, 2015 Once I got my Coleman canopy set up correctly, the water ran right off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
