The Coleman 15 × 13 Instant Screenhouse is essentially a larger version of the Coleman 10 × 10 Instant Screened Canopy, and it has similar shortcomings. The sloping walls make the interior space feel much smaller than the generous footprint might lead you to expect. The mesh doesn’t seem particularly durable, and given the cap-like… Continue reading Slant Leg vs Straight Leg Canopy: Why One is WAY Cheaper

We are also very impressed with the overall value the Coleman 10×10 Sun Shelter brings to the table. It’s slightly more expensive than the cheapest options on our list. Still, we feel its price point is nearly perfect considering its quality and performance, specifically its extra features and beefier design. Not sure which canopy will… Continue reading Slant Leg vs Straight Leg Canopy: Why One is WAY Cheaper

The Tagalong is a perfect canopy tent for most outdoor adventures, but it does have a few snags that affect its overall performance. It tends to bend and sway during stout breezes and is not as large as a standard 10×10 shelter. Additionally, the point-to-point reinforcement webbing occasionally tangles during setup. However, overall, we think… Continue reading Slant Leg vs Straight Leg Canopy: Why One is WAY Cheaper

The add-on fly for our runner-up pick, the L.L.Bean Woodlands Screen House, offers four-walled protection, though it’s also more than twice as expensive. Fellow campers and sun-baked spectators consistently gravitated toward the REI shelter over the L.L.Bean. Though the two tents have the same footprint, the REI’s roof is 6 inches taller; we found that… Continue reading Slant Leg vs Straight Leg Canopy: Why One is WAY Cheaper

We found the Caravan perfect for trips to the lake, activities in the park, or backyard barbeques, ideally in calmer weather. As its name suggests, the Eureka Tagalong Shelter is ideal for tagging along on any adventure where shade is needed. Its drawstring stuff sack offers a long strap that can be placed over one… Continue reading Slant Leg vs Straight Leg Canopy: Why One is WAY Cheaper

Even with the drapes stowed, there is less ventilation than in larger, open canopies. And, despite effectively blocking the sun’s rays, this shader tends to remain quite warm, much like a backpacking tent would when it’s left in the sun all day. It also doesn’t perform well in the rain, primarily because ozark trail backpack… Continue reading Slant Leg vs Straight Leg Canopy: Why One is WAY Cheaper

The most popular product in their line is the 10×10 Instant Slant Leg Tent with a blue canopy top. It is made with a steel construction frame and polyester material for the canopy, which is in line with just about every shade tent on the market today. The frame is that of a pyramid structure,… Continue reading Slant Leg vs Straight Leg Canopy: Why One is WAY Cheaper

The shelter has a 10-by-10-foot footprint—the most common size for tents of this type—and a peak height of 7 feet. It will shelter a standard-size picnic table, but with little room to spare. With all that in mind, we found more than a dozen tents that met our criteria. If you love camping but hate… Continue reading Slant Leg vs Straight Leg Canopy: Why One is WAY Cheaper

Although we always recommend using anchors such as weighted sand bag or stakes with guy lines attached to the top corners. Slant leg canopy tents are cheaper than straight leg tents because they use less material. Aluminum tent legs not only have a larger leg diameter (1” for steel vs. 2” for aluminum) but the… Continue reading Slant Leg vs Straight Leg Canopy: Why One is WAY Cheaper
