Ez-Up Shelter Question

I saw one at Sam's Club for less. Don't remember exactly, but $189 comes to mind.

Rock on....are they decent quality?

I have one of these and used it for the first time at the Jennings 600RR event, worked like a charm. Needed some help setting it up for the first time (thanks Flasher), but was able to pack it up by myself. :thumb: 10’ x 10’ Ez-Up brand 189.66 @ Sam's. Comes with side panels, carrying case w/wheels, stakes, and weights.

Edit #2: Pulled pic... old thread

got mine at CostCo, about same price as maxib

I picked up a 12x12 at Harbor Freight (on sale) for $99. :eyebrows: It was a 'Diamond Peak' brand, but it's made just like EZ-ups.

Just make sure you weigh it down REALLY well.

Ask me how I know.

I'm glad you asked. We normally weight it down with used tires but that wasn't enough one windy day last summer. Damn thing went flying like it was in the Wizard of Oz...

I bought a 10x10 Caravan w/ three sides from Costco a couple years ago for about $200. If you're going to be using it often I would recommend a good quality canopy like an Ez-up or a Caravan. The cheap ones you can get at department and sports stores are harder to put up and won't last as long.

I wish to god the one I had at Grattan went flying... Instead it shattered. It cost $400 in parts and took forever to fix that thing. It is a 10x20 that I got from the shop I worked at.

My Caravan from costco is nice, very happy with it.

Maybe you should think about a portable lean-to Bake. I don't think you'll be able to get the left side to stand up.

Maybe that's why we always get a garage . . . At Injureman a few years ago, we had our 10 by 20 EZup anchored to our trailer and 2 Chevy dualies when the winds hit about 80 mph, both of the trucks were off their springs and thrashing around while the stupid tent was beating the living crap out of the side of my trailer. At one point while trying to get it down, it lifted 4 people over 2 feet in the air and tossed them around like ragdolls. I broke 3 fingers and ended up just cutting the fabric to keep from killing someone from flying people and debris. Never again . . .

The only place I race that has garages is Gateway I think. At MAM there's nothing to stop the wind at all. Rainflaps are a good thing to have too. :crap:

OK, I really bring my own garage anyway, so I guess it doesn't really matter . .

Home Depot has one for 150 ish...and the case has wheels...helps when transporting...

Yeah make sure you weigh it down really well. Especially if it belongs to your teammate...... :nono:
