This Non-freestanding canopy is a better built version of the old standby canopy being used in every campground across the nation. We made our canopy out of much better materials and shaped the top to become tight as a drum when staked out properly. The canopy is made of waterproof polyester to last for many years and the cable corded poles means you won't lose any of the pole sections. We have improved on the design by covering the center grommet to keep rain from running down the pole and added Extra reinforcements at the corners to prevent tearing. A small pack size and versatility of set up options make this canopy a must have for your next camp out. For more coverage 2 canopies can be set up side by side for a 10 x 20 sheltered area.
