VIVOHOME 8x8ft Pop-Up Canopy Tent with Central Lock Design, Slant Legs, Backpack, and Side Wall, Portable Shelter for Camping, Party, Yard, and Beach Events, Beige

This canopy is a solid product overall, especially for the price—but it’s not quite what I needed, so I want to share my experience and tips to help others decide if it’s right for them. SETUP EXPERIENCE: Assembly was fairly straightforward once I figured out the trick, but as someone who had never used a pop-up canopy before, it took me longer than expected. Here are some tips I wish I’d known: Unpack on a flat surface and unfold the frame slowly with a second person—it helps avoid pinching or bending. Don’t attach the canopy fabric too early—extend the legs and lock them first, then secure the top. Use the roller bag as a weight if the ground is uneven or windy while setting up. STAKING IS A MUST: We made the rookie mistake of leaving it unattended for a few minutes without anchoring it—and it ended up in a tree. Definitely use the stakes or sandbags (not included) to secure it immediately, even if there’s only a light breeze. Trust me. MOSQUITO NETTING: This was the main reason I bought it, and unfortunately, it didn’t meet my expectations. While it keeps out mosquitoes and most flying insects, it’s not designed to keep out spiders. I have a serious fear of them, and I found multiple spiders inside the netting after leaving it zipped overnight. If you're arachnophobic or want a fully sealed space, go for a cube-style camping shelter with a zippered floor attachment. This tent is fine for social events but not ideal for overnight use in spider-prone areas. THE GOOD STUFF: Looks great in a yard or at a campsite—simple and clean white design. Provides good shade and airflow, even with the mesh zipped up. Folds down nicely and fits in the roller bag for easy transport. FINAL THOUGHTS: If you need a bug-free zone for daytime use—picnics, backyard hangs, or casual camping—this works well. But if your idea of “bug-free” includes no spiders, you’ll want to look for something more sealed. Still, I think this is a good buy for most people, just not a spider-proof solution.

Works amazing A little bit tricky to set up the frame the very first time if you’ve never done one of these before, but if you have 2 people and take your time it goes smoothly. Just don’t force anything and it will work fine. Great value for the money and 100% waterproof. Build quality is great 100% and total wind resistance. This would survive a very strong storm. The only concern is there are small gaps on the side of the screen near the tops where spiders can crawl up and over into the inside. This is only a problem if you are camping or near a place with a lot of bugs and crawling rock spiders etc. if bugs do get in, they tend to stay in the very top of the canopy and don’t mess with you at all. The zipper is ice and easy to open, but could be a little easier if it was weighted down by the door so you didn’t have to use your foot to hold the bug net down and un zipper. Works great and highly recommend… don’t think twice, just get it. It looks very professional and covers an entire giant picnic table at a campsite. (Clean the spider webs off the table first ;))

The only reason why this product is 4 stars instead of 5 is because the fabric material is pretty fragile and tears easily. You need two people minimum to put this tent up. And again, treat it like it’s fragile. This tent gives great coverage and keeps most bugs out. Does its job. I would say it should be a little cheaper because of the fabric material. But this text is fairly easy to setup once you figure it out the first time. It is water proof but can’t take on heavy rain

Easy to set up and take down. Storage bag is actually big enough to get it back in! The removable wall works great for blocking unwanted sun.

This thing is great! They don't last forever of course, especially if you don't take them down before snowfall (!) -so I just bough my 2nd one, because I loved the 1st so much. It's awkward but def doable to put up and down by yourself.

Overall solid quality and worth your investment. Would not recommend leaving it outside fully set up as the pop up canopy will instantly turn into a kite when it gets windy. Outside of that, the canopy is easy to setup and the netting keeps insects at bay.

DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS COMPANY!!!! I bought this when it was on sale last spring and did not use it until this spring. It was stored in my closet untouched for a year but you can imagine how excited I was to take it to the beach for the first time. The first time I used it, I went alone to the beach and I set it up by myself, that was no problem. The take down however was atrocious. The part that snaps into the top would not release and I had to try to wiggle twist pull and push every which was to get it to come out. When I did I was relieved and thought that maybe it just got jammed. The next week I took the canopy with my husband and some friends to the beach. Once again, when we tried to take it down it would not budge. This time 5 people worked on for 30 minutes trying to figure it out. We could not get it to release and therefore it was stuck in its full size form. The only way that we could leave the beach was to literally break it apart so that it could be condensed enough to transport off the beach. When I contracted the company they said that because we were 11 days past our year purchase it was out of warranty and therefore they would not offer us anything other than a $9 credit to purchase a new one. NINE DOLLARS!! I don’t even know where this number came from but it’s laughable and outrageous! Clearly this company does NOT care about their product quality or their customer satisfaction.

Very good quality and easy to assemble , great product

Pleasantly surprised! For what is a cheap gazebo, I'm very pleased with it. Very easy to put up and take down. Feels very secure, even in a bit of wind. It's not particularly "heavy duty" and the frame would easily be damaged if handled poorly, particularly when putting it up or taking it down, but for the cost, I'm very impressed.

Mega geiles Teil würde ich sofort wieder kaufen. Du bist im Ferien kannst essen ohne die lästigen Wespen ,Mücken oder Stechmücken

A nosotros nos ha solucionado la vida durante unas reformas. Nos permitió improvisar un comedor exterior protegido del sol, el agua y el viento. Viviendo en lq montaña donde sopla mucho buscabamos algo resistente pero practico. Agregando unos contrapesos en dos patas no hay nada que la mueva!!! Es genial

Fantastic. Easy to set up, great that the screen can be removed when it is not needed. Even held up to our very large dogs crashing into it multiple times throughout the summer. Well made, very happy with this purchase.

Qualité très basique, produit est arrivé déjà déchiré, pour le remboursement je vous en parle même pas, j’attends déjà 10 jours et toujours pas de nouvelles!!! je déconseille !!! 👎
