Tarp is fine but the poles can’t take the wind. Breezes okay but the poles bend to 90degrees in wind. I replaced them with stronger adjustable ones that won’t collapse the setup.

Exceptional holding power in firm soils. Sandy soil may require extra length.

I love these 16” stakes with wide fins. These are the best thing I’ve found for anchoring guylines to hold the poles for a volleyball net in place at the beach. Other stakes just cannot get a grip in the sand.

I recommend using a rubber mallet with these stakes. They are plastic, so rocks or metal hammers understandably can damage them.

Best party tent ever, Halloween was amazing. Easy too inflate with 2 blowers (i had one already, one comes with tent). Easy to keep up once up with just 1 blower running. I used 500 lbs sand to keep it down and worked like a charm. Kept guests out of the weather, lighting was key. Only issue was remote for the led lights doesn't work, reaching out to seller. Otherwise this is an awesome tent and investment for all our outdoor parties going forward.

Easy to set up comfortable gets the job. Done lightweight. Perfect

With the stakes this canopy is very stable and sturdy as long as it’s not too windy. With strong winds it’s a bit rickety but even with fairly high winds has not collapsed, just leaned pretty heavily. It really nice and spacious (quite great size wise), and the cover from the sun is effective. It is definitely worth it for the price! I’ve had it erected for about six days and nights straight so far, and it’s doing great! It is not very easy to assemble, though, especially not without three or four people. We did it with two people but it wasn’t super easy. Directions are clear enough though. It’s also quite compact for storing and transporting - much smaller packed away in its bag than my previous camping canopy, which is great for not taking up too much space in the car or being unwieldy to carry around. It’s not heavy or bulky. Overall I’d definitely recommend it for the price and the purpose it serves! I haven’t seen how it does in the rain yet, but otherwise it’s been great!
