E-Z UP options

AV8ORS · 04-20-2007, 04:58 PM

For years E-Z UP has set the standard for portable shelters. I'm considering replacing my 10' x 10' with something a little larger like a 12' x 12' or maybe a 10' x 15'. What's everyone using now? Is there a clone available that's just as good for half the price? Let me know what you've got and where you found it. Thanks

I got the 12x12 from wally world works great

12x12 is what i use. I dont have the "EZ Up" brand, but one similar that i bought at Academy.

Pretty much exactly the same thing except the blue cover on top is a lighter shade. Oh, it was something like 30 dollars cheaper too.

Here is a link to their site showing where you can buy one. They are cheaper than EZ Up, i cant tell a difference in quality.

Be sure it has a reflective (silver) coating in the inside or you will still bake in the sun. Or at least we do here in Oklahoma.

I got the 12x12 from wally world too. Its only about $80.00 and has a big push button release to take it apart. I use it for IMAC mosty. The E-Z up brand has a small little button and is harder to take back down. and is around $125.00Im looking for a bigger one. like 12x18 If your airplane is biger than 35% a 12x12 is a bit small.

Are the 12x12's still available last time you checked? I think there in the camping section if I'm correct. What is the brand of the 12x12; I think it's Quick-Shade but not sure, could be First-Up, but I think that's the 10x10 size. Thanks.

I like the 12' Recreational one on this site......the top is actually 12x12 too. So many of these are only 12' at the base with a smallish 9' top. Thanks for the link.

Is this common or is it just an E-Z UP option?

Some of the "economy" versions do not have it.
