swiss gear canopy nice product

last october 2008I rented an heavy duty canopy 10feet by 15 feet.it was compact and durable. that heavy duty canopy was expensive to rent. so this year 2009 for our party we decided to buy a Swiss gear smart shade because it had nice reviews.This swiss gear canopy is light enough to roll easly with its included bag.When new it needed two people for the canopy to open to full but now after a few uses it is easly done by one person. its a well thought out canopyi know because i rented the commersial type before. That party day has rain and light wind. what a life saver to have this canopy.The picture on display is wrong... it has 6 legs not 4.its more durable this way. Swiss gear made its legs adjustable to different heightswhich is great for putting on its canopy on the frame.Once on you can raise the whole unit very high over your head.The legs have push release buttons easy lock/unlock for its height.The canopy is held on to the frame by velcrovery nice.No parts to get lost.The canopy is water resistenteasy to cleannice travel bag with a little extra room just in case you can't fold its canopy just right back inside .Swiss gear unit Can be used on cement or grassshould last a long time. Swiss gear has made a home run with this product.Just take care and not abuse it and it will last for many occacions.Instead of renting just consider this canopy and you will save money.I would not ever buy somtehing unless it shows good for my money.I love this canopy because many reviews were goodlooks good for many useslasts a long timewell thought out on design and materials .You could buy a little cheaper product but others just don't last like swiss gear.good luck on your decision.More detail ...

Not bad.

I bought this last week and set it up once. It's not my first instant canopy. My last one was not a Bravo Weekender; it broke due to rust after 2 years of use (maybe used it 12 times a year for 1 or 2 days at a time).



Not sure why the other ratings on this canopy are so low other than it might be due to the fact that Bravo has redesigned the canopy and the older design might not have been as good? A friend has the exact same model but his is older. His has push pin locks the new design has pull-pin locks. There are other more subtle differences as well but I don't think they are to do with durability. The new design has a more rounded top due to a diffent upper frame. I think this might help shed water better without rain water building up in pools on the lower part of the roof fabric. Water pooling in the lower part of the roof fabric was also a problem with my last canopy. That is occasionally had to push the canopy up from the inside to shed the pooled water if it was raining. I haven't tried this new canopy yet in the rain so time will tell if it's any better than my last.



This canopy is easy to setup and take down. One person can do it without too much difficulty but easier with two people. It's also easy to get back into the storage bag which is important to me. It seems well made and durable. Of course it won't stand up to heavy winds but no canopy intended for temporary shelter would. I don't understand the low ratings other have left. This is a very nice canopy much better than my old one that I had for 2 years. It's perfect for camping trips and that's exactly what I use it for. Keeps the rain off your head or the sun out of your eyes. For [...] with free shipping it's a great deal. If I get two years use out of it I'll be a happy camper but I have a feeling this one will last longer then my last.More detail ...

Great quality for the price

I installed this shade sail over a courtyard that gets a lot of direct sun. In fact prior to putting up the shade being in the courtyard anytime after mid morning was uncomfortable. That has changed with this shade.



I think this shade sail is a bargain. The material is thicker and stronger than I expected and the hardware provided is very good quality stainless steel. I expect this shade will last a long time.



I installed the shade myself. It was not difficult. I used some cargo pull straps to pull the canopy tight so it did not sag.More detail ...

To Whoof or not to whoof that is the question

This is a must have if you live within the city limits have fussy or close neighbors in proximity to your yard or have a strict home owners association that prohibits excessive dog barking. I am a lab breeder and own 3 of these units. I am very pleased with the performance and function of this product because it stops "nuisance barking" by administering a minimal buzz that gradually gets stronger the longer the dog barks the lowest setting delivers your common "prankster hand buzzer" volt. And if your too squeamish about buzzing your dog there is a "lemon spray" version of this exact brand that also works well too. Instead of delivering a buzz it puffs a lemon deterant near the snout. For more stubborn dogs the buzzer seems to work better. In no way is this harmful to your dog but rather more humane discipline than verbal or physical correction by you the owner. I believe all dogs are pleasers and want you to be happy with them. If your dog doesn't have a bark collar most people tend to over correct or not be completely steady in the level of correction being a swat on the hind end hopefully nothing more abusive or other methods. The end result is your dog barks when your not around. That's why these collars work so well it adjusts and corrects only as needed and with as little force as needed and will never over correct or over punish like we humans sometimes do when we're angry or sleep deprived due to a BARKING DOG!!!! By using this bark collar the dog in a sence is making a choice whether or not it wants to continue barking incesantly which is a much better training technique. This collar will still allow them to bark don't get me wrong but the ongoing nuisance barking will cease. These collars work great and allow more opportunities for us to reward the dogs for good behavior instead of correcting them for barking constantly. You'll love your dog more and he'll love you more too by being a good owner and keeping everyone happy. I would definitely buy more of this brand if my other units get damaged somehow.More detail ...
