ABCCANOPY Replacement Canopy Top for Pop Up Canopy Tent (10x10, Gray)

We had an issue with a torn top but ABC canopy stepped up to resolve it. They responded quickly and helped to sort out our problem.

We love our ABC canopy we have had it for years, a tree fell on it, and we could replace the two damaged bars that hold up tent, now we finally had to get a new canopy cover, it was exceptionally easy to order just like the bars. We haven’t put it on yet but we know it is the exact match. And it came so quickly.

I’ve purchased and used ABC Canopy’s frames and covers for many years. They are my first choice when needing a temporary shelter. Their canopies are durable and have always fit perfectly. The only reason I’m not rating this replacement canopy purchase 5 stars is because it is about 2 inches short of square. Regardless of how you adjust the canopy 1 corner will not fit properly down over the corner frame as it should to center the top reinforced attachment. Leaving the canopy opened for a week didn't allow it to stretch for a proper fit. It’s either off centered or one leg corner is short. Although the canopy doesn’t fit properly I’m keeping it. It meets my immediate need.

We’ve bought 2 of these so far in yellow - it opens and closes easily and is very stable. You will still need weights on windy days, and it’s much easier to set up with 2 people, but one person can probably put it together themselves too. Be sure it’s fully dry before packing it away to keep it in good condition longer.

I bought this replacement top for my EZ-Up Encore II (circa 2006). As anyone with an original EZ-Up knows, the original canopy is water resistant but not water proof - they tend to leak at the seams.I bought the white version of this waterproof canopy replacement top because it lets in the most light and looks the most professional at the higher-end craft shows I do.This week I put this replacement top on my EZ-Up frame, and it really fits very well - better than the original, perhaps. There are subtle differences in how it goes on, so as to be waterproof. 1st, the top center pole slides into a pocket on the inside of the canopy (instead of going through the top). Also, there are no grommet holes for the screws in the center of each side. The 4 screws that hold the original canopy in place should be screwed back on (to hold the frame together) before you fit the new canopy on. Instead, there are velcro straps in the center of each side (where the grommet holes are on the original) that you can attach to the frame to hold it in place. All-in-all, it was a good fit on the EZ-Up frame and collapsed just fine with the frame.I have not yet tested this in wet weather. Once I do, I'll add more to this review and adjust the rating if necessary. But looking at it, the canopy replacement should be waterproof as advertised. It's thicker than the old top and a more plastic-like material with sealed seams. It also seems sturdier. I hope it saves my stuff next time I'm caught in rain.9/14/2015 Update: I'm terribly disappointed after having used this in the rain this past weekend. We set up the canopy Friday night for a Sat & Sun show, so we had two overnights with rain and two days with off & on drizzle as a test. Both mornings it was obvious that the rain came right through the fabric - not along the seams, as it did with the original EZ-Up cover. The drops bead up on top of the material and then soak through and drip down inside. This happened on its own - we did not touch the canopy top (for fear of making it more permeable, as it can with water-resistant canvas material). Everything inside was soaked (I did have everything packed up in waterproof containers) and needed wiping down each morning. Since it was obvious Saturday morning that the canopy top is nothing close to waterproof (barely qualifies as water resistant), I knew I had to completely pack everything up for Sat night, clean up the next morning, and then set up again. Even through the day with periodic drizzle, we had drops here & there come through.9/18/2015 Update: the seller has contacted me to make this right. They'll be sending me a replacement top, and as soon as it arrives I will test it & report back here. Points for reaching out to fix this.10/08/2015 Update: Ok, the seller sent me a replacement fairly quickly. Unfortunately, it arrived just as I was leaving for 2 weeks, so I had no chance to test it until today. And it passed with flying colors! It looked exactly the same as the 1st, but the material felt different - it seems like the same thing but with a heavy coating of waterproofing. I may be incorrect - it may be a different material but it seems just as heavyweight & sewn with double-stitched seams just as before. Anyway, I put it on my frame, opened up the canopy & then used the hose to douse the top with water. No drops came through. I shook it & no drops fell through. I even gave it a heavy direct spraying with the hose for several minutes, and again all the water rolled off the top & nothing came through. So, I'm really happy with it again.

We keep this canopy erected 365 days a year over our barbecue island. We lower it during inclement weather, and hang sandbags from each corner every time the wind forecast is over 15 mph. We have had this in place for 3 years and have had to replace the canopy itself 4 times. For two of those it was because the canopy didn't fit tightly enough and sagged around the edges. Most recently with the canopy in the lowered position, we had some rain which filled up the sag along the edge of one side... so much that the weight of the water ripped/tore the canopy from the post. At the same time, the weight of the water crushed two of the "scissor" pieces of the super-structure (this is now trash). Speaking of the superstructure, it is made with oval-shaped tubular aluminum. This geometry makes it impossible to tighten up the connecting joints because as you tighten those joints the tubes simply crush. The connecting joints do loosen up here and there as the canopy is moved around over time; which means tightening all the joints is an eventual necessity. A square geometry makes a whole lot more sense from a mechanical engineering standpoint. I get it... these are cheap, except for the fact that replacement parts add up. Hey manufacturers: why not make something a little more expensive that will pass the test of time instead of constantly giving us cheap foreign crap?
