You’ll love the lightweight, portable design of this Coleman OASIS Lite canopy, perfect for kicking back at the campsite or tossing the frisbee in the park. The Eurmax was coleman canopy followed closely by the Quick-Set Escape and E-Z Up Pyramid. Every stress point on the Quick-Set Escape is reinforced, and all of its seams are double-stitched and taped.
Add extra weather protection to your sun shelter with the Coleman Sunwall for a 10′ x 10′ Canopy Sun Shelter Tent. Our hands-down winner in this category is the Eurmax Standard 10×10. It offers impeccable craftsmanship and is even listed as “Entry Commercial” grade by the manufacturer. This canopy’s stitching and heavy-wear stress points are reinforced. Additionally, its 600-denier canopy fabric is the thickest we’ve seen. Likewise, the roller bag is made from commercial-grade components and fabrics, and the frame is thicker and heavier than other canopies.
This shelter is also fully surrounded by a 10-inch-wide ground skirt which goes the extra mile at keeping creepy crawlers and flying annoyances at bay. The overhanging eaves set the tent apart from traditional 10×10 shelters, providing extended shade coverage and additional protection from UV rays. These edges extend beyond the frame’s valences to amplify its look and make for a very stylish aesthetic, compared to the vertical valence typically found on traditional pop-up canopy tents.
However, its thinner frame rocks a bit during wind gusts, and it doesn’t have weather-taped seams, so it tends to leak a little during heavier rain storms. At first glance, the setup for the Quick-Set Escap appears quite daunting. However, it became our favorite coleman canopy canopy to set up after conquering a slight learning curve. Despite its size, it amazingly ships completely assembled and pops into place with just a few pulls and pushes. Likewise, the Pacific Breeze Easy Up does not require additional assembly.
Very high-quality materials were used to produce this shelter, making it our hands-down choice for the best recreational canopy tent on the market. Despite its size and weight, the Eurmax is quite easy to set up and take down. In fact, one of our testers easily solo-deployed it on several occasions.
