Spacious and sturdy, North Pole's First-Up Gazebo offers a roomy place to hang out in the shade or be protected from an unexpected drizzle while camping, picnicking, tailgating, cheering on a soccer team, backyard barbecues or any other outdoor activity. Measuring 10 by 10 feet with a center peak height of nine feet, the gazebo provides a generous 100 square feet of shelter and is comfortable for even the tallest members of your party without having to duck to enter and exit.

Setting up the gazebo is quite simple, due to its First-Up design. The steel frame comes fully assembled and only requires two people and about five minutes to open it by pulling and extending the frame, which is easily accomplished by walking it out while each person holds a leg on diagonal sides. Safety lock mechanisms on each leg lock into place and the lightweight fabric shell fits neatly on the frame to form the roof. Velcro fasteners along the inside provide additional reinforcements to keep the shell attached to the frame. The gazebo also includes stakes that can be inserted in the holes at the foot of each leg and hammered into the ground for more support. In addition, guy lines are attached to each corner, which may also be knotted and looped into the stake, further assuring that the gazebo will be stable on the windiest of days.

Velcro fasteners secure the shell to the frame for added support

I had researched many canopies on the market as well as viewing them and setting some up all within the $100 dollar range (give or take $20). The First Up canopy by far is the best one for the money. The canopy itself is a thicker grade canvas that is silver lined to provide excellent shade and durability. It is the only one in this price range with easy push levers for extending the legs\support polls instead of trying to recess a little button through the hole with your fingers. The footprint is actually bigger than the others as the other canopies are actually smaller but they measure the footprint of the legs which happen to extend out further. There are more Velcro fasteners than the others and if you know what you are doing setup and teardown is fairly fast (6mins). The roller bag is a heavy canvas versus the others with a light nylon bag. The only minor drawback is it's weight but if you want quality you expect a heavier product. So far I have set mine up around 10 times with no issues. In this price range I highly recommend.

Sometimes it rains in Seattle.. believe it or not! I used this as a "vendor tent" for my craft shows. Set-up is easy and everything you need is in the bag and the bag has WHEELS! This product will make your life easier when you need to haul stuff to a show or the camp ground.

My rating of this canopy is a bit premature as I've only had one opportunity to use it so far. But in that maiden usage I found it to meet the high reviews of those I had read when purchasing.
Setup of the canopy was very straight forward, but is much easier to do w/ two people. If you have to do it alone I suggest putting one of the stakes in first and use that as an anchor to spread the frame out. The day I had it out was windy and it held up like a champ! The included rolling storage bag was a huge bonus, and makes toting it around much easier. I highly recommend this product! If upon later usage my views change, in either a positive or negative way, I'll reflect that by editing this review.

It makes a nice oasis on sunny beaches, shelters from light rain, great for temporary cover and super ez to setup and take down.

My husband and I use this gazebo to cover our booth at a local flea market. It is simple to erect, especially if you have two people. We have been using it weekly for several months and it works as well as the day we bought it. This would work great for anyone wanting shade at the beach or park and is well worth the money. I would definitely recommend.
