Need one for tailgating. Just saw a 10x10 one for $60. Is that a good deal or is it going to be shite since every other canopy tent I see is smaller and for triple the price. Also, a lot of the tents I see online don't have an entrance height. I'm a tall dude, I really don't want to have to be ducking down all day.

I bought a 13x13 last week from academy for $70. I thought that was a good deal.

A decent deal, but you get what you pay for.

FWIW, I paid about $60 at Dick's last year for a cheap canopy just to have for small family functions. For tailgating I'd probably not skimp and spend some more $. Academy and Walmart had some on sale recently if your interested in looking there.

all measurements mentioned are useless without the shade sqft. some are fricking 12x12's with only 81 sq ft.

You get what you pay for in canopies, most brands have different levels as well. with a $60 unit I wouldnt expect to last more than one season, and sometimes might not even last a season

Go Coleman. Most of the other ones are pieces of shite. I have the 10 X 10. Its awesome and has withstood many rains and winds.

I have a EZup and it has done well. Have been contemplating getting 10x30

We have a block party 2-3 times a year, just wonder about the quality.
