Oshman's has an ad this morning for "Quik Shade" brand (ez-up) canopies. 10x10... $74.99 and 12x12... $109.99. The ad says it comes
with "speed bearings". Might need some shade this weekend (calling for 99 in the shade, if you have some). Now you can get two 10x10 and still come out cheaper than one King Canopy at Sam's.

I bought an EZ Up from Sam's last year. The one I got was the Encore II model. It came with 4 sides, stakes a rolling bag and a special Banner holder. Very nice and pretty heavy. 1 person can put it up and take it down, but it is easier with 2....

We bought my fiance's dad one from Academy this weekend. It's a 10X10, 8 feet high in the middle, with net sides, for $30. I don't think it was on sale, I think that was their normal price. I'm not sure of the brand, or how easy it will last, but for $30, we couldn't pass it up. Hopefully it won't suck too bad! :D

Herper, EZ-UP is worth every penny. The one with sides, etc is the Encore or whatever. I only paid 189$ for my two, but they are of the highest quality. Spend the money. I have seen some of the cheaper varieties and they do not compare. You are paying more because:

1) it is the middle of summer
2) you are on one of the high priced coasts

Buy it! Woody

WoodSteal,
you paid that for 2 encores! If so, you gpt a steal brother.
I just prized encore II at Sams, 199.00 for 1. I think it's only sold by Sams occording to website. I'm going to get it. Found some on ebay, but they want 180. plus 100. shipping.
