ADVANCE OUTDOOR 12x20 ft Canopy Garage Heavy Duty Carport Car Boat Shelter Party Tent, Adjustable Peak Height from 9.5ft to 11ft, Green

This 12' x 20' canopy has survived 3 windstorms, and does OK with up to 8" light snow, and that's with both 6" and 1' extensions on the legs. I do have it anchored to a nearby tree, and put my own 25 lb. weights on 4 corners, which have moved a couple feet in a strong gust, so I just poured in-ground concrete footings with tie down loops. The weight bags it comes with fit loosely so you'd need a way to tie or clamp them to be effective. The 8 plastic tarp hooks and elastic broke the first year, so first I duct taped them, then I got a grommet kit and put in 2 grommets with bungees on each pole held with an SS clamp. The 2" extension bolts rusted and stuck out, so I've replaced the 16 of them with SS 1-3/4" bolts with cap nuts. The corner brace brackets just fit loosely on the pipes, and the 4 lower ones filled with water and caused streaks of rust. So I drilled drain holes in those 4, and caulked them well into place with clear RV caulk, so they stay dry inside and resist sliding. I added a bamboo diagonal brace and now it's quite firm and sturdy. The ball and bungee system is quick to put up, but if you get much snow, it creates a dip right above the cross bar, so it's better to run the bungees over the bar, and also coat the tarp with 303 or silicone spray to help snow slide off. One end did collapse when we got 9" of heavy snow and I didn't pull it off in time. The end I tied nylon cord across did not collapse, so this year I'm adding ratchet straps all around. I was able to straighten or shorten the 10 poles that got bent. I added 2' plumbing pipes, glued in with JB weld, to get it high enough to back the camper under it on the truck. This is a very sturdy frame, great corner brackets, good quality tarp, just needs reinforcement if you get extreme weather.

I bought this to keep a convertible car covered year-round in a very sunny driveway. Putting this together was fairly easy. The assembly instructions could be a little more detailed, but it's not too difficult to figure it all out. The product video gives you hints about assembly, but it would be nice to have a more detailed step-by-step set of pictures or even a full video to make it simpler. I advise that you take a few minutes to take everything out of the box and lay it all out on the ground to plan out the assembly. In total it took my wife and me about 90 minutes in total to get it assembled and in position. All the poles, connectors, and bungee feel solid and durable. It's a nice touch that they include 2 pairs of gloves, as some of the pole ends are a little jagged/sharp. The roof cover seems like it might be a bit thin, but we'll see how it holds up over time through the seasons and direct sunlight. They include a lot of hardware to secure the canopy when it's all assembled, including weight bags, ground pegs, and rope - all of it feels strong and sturdy. It's not convenient for me to secure the foot bases to a slab or to the ground, so I'm relying on weights at the base of each leg. The weight bags are sturdy and easy to fill. I used sand, and the 4 included bags held 50lbs of sand combined. I'll get another 4 to secure all of the legs, and will likely get bigger weight bags to make it more secure. For now I've strapped the corner poles to cinder blocks. I'll likely find a way to use the included ropes to secure it all even further. Once everything was put together and the legs secured, it felt very sturdy and solid. I've had it for just a few weeks and it has already been subjected to 30+ mile per hour winds, a lot of rain, below freezing temperatures, and a little snow. Everything has held together nicely, it hasn't moved, and the roof cover is in great shape. I'll probably add a solar light kit to it at some point.

We bought this two years ago. The frame is still OK, but he tarp ripped off after 8 months. Doria from technical support was amazing and helped me to get a replacement.

I use this canopy as a cover for my pontoon boat. I installed it right next to my garage. The height adjusts from 9.5 to 11 feet, which was ideal for the extra height I needed. I was able to assemble and install it by myself. The assembly of the frame was very logical and well designed, and all the parts fit together well. I had one part of the assembly I didn't quite comprehend, but I contacted customer support and they replied right away and explained it to me. After 9 months, the canopy has held up very well and does not leak at all. Recently I backed into and bent one of my leg poles, and once again contacted them and they responded right away and sent a replacement for a small charge. I highly recommend this canopy for protection of your boats or vehicles, and their great customer service is a plus!

This Carport Canopy wasn't hard to setup even by myself. I put the Canopy Cover on before installing the legs. You have to tie the frame to side supports for any steady wind that blows. I had the legs bolted to a concrete pad so they wouldn't move but with the heat baking the light rope that comes with the kit and the wind we had this week the ropes snaped and half of the legs bent at the top of the tubes and two of the tubes supporting the top bent where I tried to tie it with new rope in the middle of the storm. Now for the top itself It held up fine and is ready to go If I find something to use it on. Update Information.. If you have issues with this Carport you can expect great Product Support, they were quick at sending replacement tubes to get it back to working order. Having said that I will be using it in some other way then parking my nice car under it during bad weather.

After reading some of the reviews and the description, this sounded like a good canopy to cover my boat. Was I wrong..... Purchased in Sept 2022, the 12x20 'Heavy Duty' carport canopy. Everything came in the boxes. I was very suspect of the durability due to the thin wall frame with push button / snap together poles. It was real easy to put together, but was not stable due to the all the loose pole connections. The tarp is your standard silver, NOT heavy duty, tarp that usually last 1-2 years. Instead of using the sandbags (which honestly would not hold up to much wind), all 8 legs were strapped to a 5gal buckets that had 60# of cement in each. Knowing we had a storm approaching with high winds, and concerned with the thin walled frame, I added additional ratchet straps going to the frame to my boat trailer, being careful to not overtighten them. I've done this in the past with another canopy I purchased and the frame lasted for over 20 years. This thing was not going anywhere. Boy was I wrong! The storm come through with wind gusts in the 40-50 mile range that proceeded to twist and bend the frame and rip the top to pieces. I'm fine with the top being destroyed, as mentioned it's thin cheap material. I planned on having a high quality top made out of canvas. I'm not ok with the label that this is 'Heavy Duty'. IT IS NOT! AND... No Warranty information available on Amazon. State to contact the seller. No Company exists with the name Advance Outdoor. There's an Amazon store with no contact information.

As others have stated, it's weak. A decent breeze will make it bend. I bought it knowing this. I basically secured each leg to 2x6s to keep them in place and keep the thing from flying away. You can also go to hardware stores and stick small galvanized steel tubes inside to keep the structure from bending. As is straight out of the box, it won't last, but a little bit of tweaking and adding a bit of strength, it'll last. I've had it for a year now and it's survived an Oregon coast winter. So it's got that going for it.

This is a great canopy and very versatile. I bought it to cover our back porch to shield us from the brutal Florida sun. We jazzed it up with string lights. We loved sitting outside with the projector screen hanging from the side to watch sports or movies at night. So many great memories in a few short months! I took the advice of other reviewers and bought much sturdier stakes and ratchet straps. The stakes I bought are HUGE spirals that claimed to hold 500 pounds of pressure and we used 8 of them. She survived a tropical storm and two hurricanes with no issues but sadly succomed to Hurricane Milton recently. I really think it would have survived Milton too but the ground was just too wet from 2 back-to-back hurricanes and lots of rain. The stakes came right out of the ground in the final few minutes of sustained hurricane force winds and the whole thing flew over our roof and landed in a crumpled mess in the front yard. I loved it and plan to repurchase another one. Pros: great size, affordable, nice quality, pretty sturdy if extra steps are taken to secure properly Cons: the instructions for assembly are only photos with no words. We figured it out but better instructions would have made a huge difference.
