Over the years we’ve seen the gamut of canopies and obviously some are better than others. We are fans of E-Z UP Canopies. They are built tough, truly easy to set up, take down, and store. Prices range from roughly $125.00 for lighter, entry level canopies, to $1000.00+. The Market owns a few of the Ambassador models, which is considered a recreational model, but are inexpensive and do the job (with fingers crossed..)
