Do they have a website? I'm in Philly PA - I don't think I've seen any around here.

Thanks Phil

I haven't seen this one. I have an EU and QuickUp. Both have been exposed to intense ultraviolet light and the QU is in much better shape. The EU has also had parts fall off as screws became loose and whatnot. The QU doesn't use screws to attach the center section posts so if something happens to the rods, it will be some work to replace. The QU is easier to put up. Both are easier with a second person and instead, actually easy to take down.

SportsAuthority has the QU for the $75, but I don't think the bag has wheels. Not like they work off-pavement anyway (nor have I seem mine in a while either).

QuikShade is the brand you're thinking of. The price you're quoting is for the 10'x10'; the 12'x12' is normally on sale for $89.99 or $99.99 (both prices, depends on the week). The $69.99 price is for the 10'x10'.

I'm waiting for another sale on the 12'x12' QuikShades -- LDRS trashed my first one, so I'm down to one. Want to have two of 'em.

I'd suggest a QuikShade, or any other brand with an aluminized backing. It makes a HUGE different in how cool it is underneath.

Last year at the local air show, we had my QuikShade next to the club's EZ-Up. We thought the EZ-Up would be cooler, since it's white and my Quik Shade is dark green. Nope; it was a LOT cooler under the QuikShade, due to the backing on the canopy.

I must have read the flier wrong. lol I thought that markdown was a little much!
