King Canopy 10 Foot x 20 Foot Hercules Enclosed Canopy Shelter with Windows and Snow Load Kit

I bought this last year to put over my deck. It easily survived a Colorado winter which included 2 "Bomb Cyclons" that involve heavy winds and snow. Has held up to 8 inches of snow with ease - I try not to let it accumulate but it was overnight snow. The snow cables rock. The top has handled 70 MPH gusts and 50 MPH sustained winds without issue. Definitely worth the money and can easily be left up year-round!

Good value, easy ordering, and they kept me notified every step of the way. They even answered a question through email-help portal- within 24 hours! GREAT service.

After reading many reviews, I chose this one and I'm really glad I did. I'm storing a car in mine and with the proper anchors this thing isn't moving. Just went thru 40 mph winds and didn't move. I did buy 14 18 inch anchors to anchor the platform solid to ground and it turned out great. Easy set up 2 hrs by myself. I would definitely recommend buying this canopy at a great price too.

Used this for a party on my deck this weekend and it was a big hit! Plus added an extra room to my house and eliminated overcrowding.

This seems like a nice unit, although the zippers are kind of cheap. I haven?t had it out in any rough weather yet, so I?m not sure how it would hold up in the rain.

Here are some things you should know before you order this. (1) It?s a nice canopy and you?ll like it once it?s up. (2) You have to stretch parts of it to get it to fit right. (3) The directions that they provide are pretty much useless, so you have to figure it out yourself as you go. (4) Have bags of sand on hand ahead of time to help secure it.

It?s held up well in winter weather, and I didn?t have any trouble putting it together. You should be aware, though, that it doesn?t come with anything to secure it to the ground. And you have to have that or it will blow away in the wind.

Wow, this tent is worth the price, even if you have to pay a little more for it. It is really big, and three of us assembled it in a couple of hours. Note that the supports are really sturdy, sturdier than the cheap little poles you get with a lot of tents. The fabric is tough. I?m using it as a place to park my car, and it keeps the sun off quite well. The only bad thing that happened ended up being a positive experience?neither zipper worked right. In fact, they both broke. So I got on the phone with the company and I got a replacement panel really quickly. The person I talked to on the phone was so nice! And the construction of the replacement piece seemed better than the original. So, like I say, even though it seemed like a bad thing, I?m very happy it happened. You know, the poles are so tough that you could actually use them to support a metal structure. Maybe I?ll convert it to that when the fabric wears out someday.

Some people talk about how these products work well in snow. Well, we didn?t have that kind of experience?we took it to the desert for a couple of weeks! It was very hot and windy, and storms came through pretty often. It held up great. It?s also easy to assemble and take apart.

Only improvement I could suggest is to make the outside corner pieces slightly wider or at least provide a means to velcro them to the body of the cover. We will probably end up using two sided tape to keep them secured to the main sections of the shelter. Other than that, it's very well made.

Receiving and assembling this product started out as a frustrating experience for me. First of all, not all the parts were included?specifically, the elastic ball straps. I had to pay to get more. Secondly, they didn?t send the right directions with the kit! The directions told how to assemble a completely different canopy. Not good. Third, you have to provide your own materials (straps, pegs, weights, etc.) to secure it to the ground, otherwise it just flies away in the wind. Maybe I should have realized that ahead of time, but I didn?t, and the thing turned upside-down in the wind. Nobody was hurt, but it did get a rip in the fabric. Fourth, I?m glad it came equipped with a snow load cable truss system, but because I had the wrong instructions, I didn?t know it and I didn?t know how to attach them. Arrrrgh! HOWEVER, now that I?ve learned all these lessons the hard way and it?s all set up, I am glad I bought it, and we enjoy using it.

OK, so the ad said that this canopy was approved for snowy conditions, and that was one of the big reasons I bought it. Then when we started putting it together we saw that it said it was not rated for snow. Um, that?s confusing at best and dishonest at worst. We realized as we worked on it that it did include a truss kit for use in snowy weather, but the instructions didn?t tell you what you were supposed to do with it or how to put it together. I?d advise you to check the weather forecast before you start to assemble any tent, because when we were putting this one together a rainstorm hit, and we had to abandon the project for a while. The thing got blown around and one pole was crooked afterwards. So, am I 100% happy with my purchase? No. Maybe 50%.

I really like this product?it was a good investment, and I think you?ll probably like it too. I bought some additional bungee cords for it, but other than that it was basically fine. It?s a nice size too.

I?m using this canopy to store my car in, and it does a good enough job of that now that it?s up. Putting it up was a pain because the directions just weren?t all that helpful. After I got it all put together, I found out I?d done something wrong and had to take it apart and start over. Also, you should buy extra bungees?the manufacturer doesn?t provide as many as you?ll want/need.

Now that I have this King Canopy up and installed, I?m very happy with it, but I have to admit that getting it put up was an adventure?not because it was unnecessarily hard to assemble but because as I was putting it up for the first time a huge windstorm/rainstorm hit. Fortunately I had read the instructions ahead of time and even watched a video about how to put it up, and the instructions are very helpful. I kept having to hold the thing in place in the wind, though. It couldn?t decide for a little while whether it wanted to be a canopy or a kite! Anyway, after the weather improved I finished the job and am very happy with it. In fact, a few days later another storm came through and it ?weathered? it perfectly. Neighbors are complimenting me on how nice it looks. (I use it as a garage for my car.) Oh, by the way, I recommend you do what others have suggested and order extra bungee cords to help with the assembly. I ended up using almost 30 more than what came with the kit.
