We have had 3 of these now as they are normally priced well over summer but every one has last 2 at best 3 camping trips and that's it. They seem like they should hold up to a decent breeze but they don't. Ours is used for max 2 weeks per year for our annual camping trip and they just blow to bits. The seems start to rip in the second year and by the end of the third they go straight in the bin. They are super easy to put up (and take down when the wind gets up) but just aren't designed for NZ sun and conditions.

Relatively easy to assemble. Work well when up. However we have owned two of them and both flys have gone brittle and torn after very little use. Poor quality. Won't buy a third!

Ripped 3rd day up. It has 3 different patches on it now. Can't handle a little bit of a breeze. Tears at the velcro then down the seam. The poles are good just the velcro and cheap cover. Have to take it down as soon as a breeze comes up or it will RIP somewhere else. Sad state of affairs Expected more for the price. Was purchased for a shelter for the kids tent and table in back yard. Not buy again.

I purchased this as a shade for my pool and I had no illusions. For $148 (Annapurna club member discount) I didn't did not expect it to last very long but given that I have spent significantly longer periods camping, I did expect it to last longer than it has. I bought this on 23/10/2018. Today is 7/12/2018 and it now stands in shreds in my backyard.

It took a lot of work for two people to put up. If you're used to the time it takes for a standard gazebo, this will come as a bit of a shock. The poles are steel with very poor quality paint. ...

I have purchased 2 of these shelters in the last 2 years and placed them over the pool so the family can swim throughout the day. The only problem is that they have only lasted 2/3 months as they have torn near the velcro tie downs on each occasion. The product idea is great but the quality of the shade is very poor. $200 for 2/3months - not very good. Improve the quality Coleman and I will try it again.

Have had the shelter for 1 month and it has disintegrated at the seams and is torn with touch from fingers. It has been up permanantly for that time. When coleman was contacted they stated it isnt meant as a permanant fixture. Do they not realise people camp for that period of time.
Always thought coleman where a reputable camping name!!!!!!!.

Looks great, set up is simple enough. But the canopy tore apart within the first 6 months when a little bit of wind got to it. Bitterly disappointed as I really liked the look of his.

Bought the event 14 at Easter 2015 never used till last week for kids party in backyard to come home to find still pegged to the ground but shade torn to crap. No trees or anything near it. Rang Colemans got told not their problem something must of happened to it. Hmm wind is all and they state on bag good in wind. Yet my China made 6 man tent not a mark and still standing.
Colemans products are expensive so I expected them to be good.
I'll never buy a Colemans product again. Thanks for backing your product Coleman!
Not!!

Like the other reviews the canopy is just not up to it and they ( Coleman) know it and they give you the cold shoulder and have quiet obviously told there suppliers to sell the same story My unit was less than a year old and the canopy started to look like an orange peel left in the sun and started to tear. My enquires to both BCF and Coleman direct were word for word identical ?? And claimed the unit had excessive use!!!, and said it was never ment to be a permanent structure , which it never was 6 to 7 weeks in Western Australia use ??? On...

Model Number 2000001476.

Bought it in January 2014. At first, it actually was pretty good. Assembly was pretty much as expected (if you follow the instructions), and the shade area is really quite large across the day, particularly if you orientate the corners to the sun's path.

HOWEVER: After about 14 days of actual use over the year (which would be about 6 assembled occasions) the material ripped in several places where the velcro ties it to the frame. At first the rips were quite mild, but they deteriorated quite quickly. This was in w...
