Canopy recommendation: Can anyone recommend a great canopy that I can leave up outside on cement that won't blow away easily?

shelter logic canopy top 12 x20 is a good option, you must secure with phone wires, that helped a lot. I never use the use the enclosure........ Anyway, the sun rays destroy the material and you must replace the canopy top every year!

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.

I suppose you could but not sure I'd recommend it. We dug holes a few feet down and poured cement. As far as the shade goes, it's wonderful. Even on the hottest of days it stays much cooler under the shade, and it's been holding up good to wind and weather.

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!

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.

That sun wall is not designed to fit this canopy, but you certainly could try using some paracord to rig it up. I would recommend just using a tarp to cover one or two sides to protect from sun and rain. I have a 16 x 16 tarp that works perfectly for this if I need it.

Can not vouch for how permanent as I have only had it a month, but my husband anchored it to concrete driveway and carriage house wall. Will see if it survives MT winter. I would take the canopy off if a big wind storm was predicted, and will keep snow from accumulating whenever possible.

Took this tent to burning man last year, which is daytime temps of 85+ everyday for 10 days -- stood up very well to the wind, the canvas kept the playa (the fine dust) out and we had a battery powered fan going inside the tent for when we needed to knock out during the day. We had our tent pitched in the shade, and it worked out well for us. I won't say it was particularly pleasant to be inside during the hottest part of the day, even being in the shade with a fan, but it worked for us. That said, when this tent is closed up and in the sun it heats up mighty fast. If you don't have any shade to put it under and it's going to be 85 out I would recommend something that isn't made of canvas -- if keeping cool during the day is important to you.

Best to find one that is clearly described as an outdoor fan, built for stability and to withstand changes in humidity, etc.

I am sorry that I can not help you. Mine was purchased at Christmas time and is working great. For $4.99, I did buy the Canopy Protection Plan just in case.

I am not sure of the brand however my canopy has removable shelves on each side and little decorations that screw the canopy top down on each corner. This is a two piece cover like mine was and the larger piece fit but the small piece (the little square on top) did not fit. It is not water proof and it is made of a thin material. Everything is held down with Velcro wich is fine except the Velcro is stronger than the material it is holding so rips occure around the Velcro. If your looking for a cover that is durable and water proof...you won't find it here.

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

Canopies of this type are not intended to be left standing when storms with winds are forecast. Even with very strong, weighted tie downs, wind will twist the frame or topple over the canopy. I have owned several different brands and they are all temporary shelters. This brand is the easiest to put up and take down of all the ones I have had. It only takes one person to do it and I am a senior citizen female.

The metal poles are thin gauge, similar to electrical conduit, so they are lightweight. I've had mine up for several months in Arizona sun with no problems whatsoever. I contacted the seller to make sure a replacement canopy was available, and it is. I plan on purchasing a spare canopy to put away for a rainy day. The embedded fibers make any ripping unlikely, I'm just leery of UV damage.

The canopy is water resistant, but we purchased a waterproofing spray product at Lowe's to protect it not only from moisture but also from the sun. FYI: it has several grommet ventilation openings that will allow rain in. These are necessary to prevent very strong winds from lifting the canopy up violently.

I've had my canopy for one season of outdoor shows and it has held up well. The walls are durable and good protection from the light wind I've experienced. I use homemade weights which keep the canopy in place on an asphalt surface. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase of this product.
