    Default Tailgating Canopy

    Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a larger canopy for tailgating. Probably about 10x20. I have seen some really nice Bison ones around the lots. I am wondering if you guys have any recommendations on what types, where to buy and approximate prices. I recently had tentcraft.com give me a quote for an alumuminum 10x20 with detatchable side walls and the quote came back at nearly $9,000! and I didn't put an extra zero in there by accident. Surely there are more affordable alternatives out there.

    I am anxiously waiting to hear your suggestions as I would like to get something before the next home game on 10/21.

    Thanks,

    Brad

    Delta Canopy. Like $279, green and yellow with side walls. Easy up. Replaceable parts. Can get them on Amazon or direct. If you want it expedited, do it direct.

    Easy to set up. We watched a tailgate last week spend 30-40min setting up an industrial tent piece by piece.

    And there were probably 8 people setting up.

    I have a 10 x 15 from Delta and I like it.

    Our group used to have a 10 X 20 but when the wind picks up it was an issue. We now used 4 smaller ones, not as tall
    and works much better in the winds.
    Oh we had 6 heavy weights on the large canopy, it will wanted to lift and rip it.

    Make sure you get good quality and/or summer nothing that can be repaired. Last week we watched two very nice looking canopies crumble/bend/snap within ten min of the lot opening.

    Last week was the first week we've ever had issues with ours. We have cement buckets for the corners, so we ended up using those. Putting it right next to the bus made it worse as it funneled over and then right into the top. No regrets.

    We have this. Heavy duty. Expensive but worth it.
