And the Helinox’s carry case, which is shaped like a doll-size ski bag, is easier to use than the stuff-sack-style bag that came with the Flexlite. Also, after several months of use, some of the paint on the legs of the Flexlite has scraped off. Their usefulness can be attributed to (a) rapid and spreading canopy growth for quick shade, (b) their high coppicing ability to recover after drastic. Most important: Although the dimensions of the two seats are almost identical, the fabric on the Helinox seat had a cut that made it feel roomier and more comfortable to anyone with anything other than a pencil-thin behind.

(That chair has since been replaced by the Co-op FlexLite Camp Chair, which has a nearly identical design but uses ripstop polyester instead of nylon.) Although the Flexlite had the advantage of being slightly lighter than the Chair One (a factor that could be key for hikers who are planning on carrying their chair miles into the backcountry), we otherwise found a number of small details that were superior on the Chair One. Probably would work in heavier weather if the seams were waxed, but we don't picnic or camp much in the rain and have not bothered with it.We also tested REI’s Flexlite Chair, which was remarkably similar to the Chair One in design, size, and price. Hi, I am looking for a Canopy 10X10 to use at a Farmers market that has cement floors. from Denton, TX asked: November 29, 2017. You may want to contact Quik Shade directly at 1-80. It has also served to keep chairs and table dry during short, light rains. But we do not currently carry replacement tops for Quik Shade canopies. It is still in great shape and has required nothing more than an occasional sponging for cleaning. This 10X10 canopy is perfect for outdoor merchants and vendors in need of standard but quality canopy needs.


It is a bit of a challenge for two people in our late 60's to put up, but well worth the effort. Fully assembled using our largest, strongest frame system and our best fabric constructions. It is great for family gatherings in backyard or on the deck, as a place to put food out of the sun and away from bugs. We still use it a lot in the summer, both when camping and at home. Update: we have now had the canopy, screens and shade panels for 3 years. It provided bright shade and safety from the mosquitos. I don't think it could be done by a single person as you need to grab opposing corners and back away from each other in the initial stages.

This Quik Shade Expedition EX144 12 x 12 Straight Leg Canopy is made with that in mind. The company crafts its canopies from quality materials because they know you will use it year after year. Featuring ultra-light, 3-piece aluminum telescoping legs, this canopy is designed for portability, compact storage. Two people in their mid-sixties, not particularly in the best shape did this with ease. Product Dimensions: 12 W x 10 1/6 H x 12 D (161399DS), 12 W x 10 1/6 H x 12 D (167507DS) Quik Shade Canopies are easy to use and easy to store. This was put up in a light wind (it blew the screen around a bit but not enough wind to move the top panel at all). That would have been shorter if we had labeled the top as starting point in our practice run. It took a few additional minutes to put on the screen panel kit. The first time in an unimproved campground we took a few moments to spot a reasonably flat piece of ground, took our C100 out and had the frame and the top up in about the same time as it took our friends to turn the cranks to convert their tent trailer to the camper tent.
