New canopy from ACE Canopy
I hope my new 10'x10' canopy proves to be more durable than the last one. It comes from ACE Canopy,
and it started out two feet taller than pictured. I adjusted the height with a hacksaw.

(If I had it to do over again, I would start off with a fresh hacksaw blade.)

Torn, 6 months later
The instructions said not to leave this canopy set up permanently, but I did anyway. Six months in the sunlight left the skin so brittle that it did not survive moderate rain and wind.—I will shop for a sturdier model for next season.
