Don't waste your money. I've had 'em. First breeze and they're gone.
As long as they are staked down properly they are very sturdy. We use them when we shoot at Pawnee and we had it up for a whole weekend in near hurricane winds of 60 MPH, guy it down right and your fine.
Just an FYI, you cab get these on sale at Walmart in Parker for $50 for the 9x9 and at Big 5 for I think $60 for the 10x10. That guy is way over priced on his.
No.
That looks like the cheaper EZ Up model. The better ones go for around $150. It wouldn't last two months with the snow at my house. Staking them down doesn't help in the wind. 5 gal water buckets, tied off at the canopy frame, on all sides works better.
Typically the canopy material stretches, then the edges hold pools of water/snow/etc. and just make it worse.
Even if there wasn't a breath of wind, ever again, the UV in Colorado just tears things apart in short order. I had my most recent batch of outdoor furniture all made out of ipe, no other wood was holding up more than a few years. Outdoor fabric? -yeah, good luck!
