New – Coleman Instant Canopy

What a great Canopy! Coleman really hit a home run with this easy to use and durable instant canopy. Made of sturdy aluminum framing with a strong and rip resistant nylon cover the instant canopy can be setup in minuets using two people.

We have used this canopy for at least 6 years and every year it keeps working as expected without fail. We have had this canopy setup in the blazing sun, thunderstorms and windy valleys and the canopy took it all without issue.

The canopy itself is a 50 UV blocker so better than sunscreen. Add the Sun shade that fits between corner posts and you have a nice privacy screen to shield your campground or picnic table.  Add three and you have a fully enclosed room where everyone can get a break from the sun, wind or rain.

The only problem with this Canopy is size and weight. The canopy itself does collapses down into a convenient carry bag, but length wise it is still four feet long, and the whole canopy weighs in at 16kg or 35lb, so finding a place to store it in your rig can be a challenge. Lucky for me this canopy fits into our pass-through storage compartment. If you can get past the length and weight then this is an excellent investment in an outdoor canopy.
