King Canopy Hercules 18ft x 27ft, 2in Hammertone Steel Frame w/ buttons, 10-Leg, Carport, White

I purchased this tent for use by my tailgate group. The first time we put it up, we went to the stadium the evening before because we were uncertain how long it would take to put it up. Amazingly, three older guys [50+] were able to erect it in about 45 minutes; even though we had never erected a similar tent before and had to read every step of the directions. Since then, we just bring it out on game day, and erect it in 30 minutes or less. Takedown is even easier. I estimate it take 4 guys about 15 minutes to take it down and pack it away for the next game. While it is relatively lightweight, and I would not want to use it for continuous or near continuous use; it should last for years when used as a tailgating tent. This thing is HUGE [I bought the 18x27]. We generally have about 30 regulars and about twice that number of pass-through people at our tailgate, and we have plenty of room to accommodate everyone. Great product, and I would recommend it to anyone who needs a large shelter for intermittent use.

Bought this three years ago for wedding. It is still up and has survived numerous storms. Trick is to anchor properly and replace the elastic ties. I also bought the sides and ends but never used them. Considering hiring such a tent for an occasion can cost thousands, the $500 or so dollars for everything is an absolute steal. Cannot think of anything negative...maybe through time the powder coast starts to come off. Would not count this against it,considering this is after three years.
