QUIK SHADE vs. EZ UP

[Commander21]

Just want some feedback from everyone. What do think - Quik Shade or EZ UP?
Looking for something durable for the Mojave winds.

EZ up with out a doubt

Durable for wind? I've seen EZ Ups go 30' in the air, best be running when it comes down. A 10 by 10 ez up tied off to a 15" tire and wheel will scoot across a parking lot with a little gust of wind. What ever you get lash it down good.

A $300 Easy up is more stout than a $125 Quick Shade. You get what you pay for. I Like the QS. Just bought two on sale at Sport Authority for $89 each. $20 for the extended warranty. How can you go wrong? The QS is much lighter too. EZ Up it too heavey to haul around in your boat.

Neither will last in a gale... my EZ bent a leg the first weekend when a 3 am gust blew in in April...next trip I'll bring it back to see if it's repairable or damage I'll have to live with.
We tie ours down to the coolers (or dog leash screws) with straps attached to heavy bungee cords. The flex a bit and handle the winds with less damage than just strapping them down with rope.

EZ up all the way. None of them may last foreever but parts are very easily accessed for the EZ up products. I've seen EZ repair centers in Colton and off of the 5 on the way up to LA. I've purchased parts from them and its cheaper than buying a whole new set up.

Just off the 215 in colton is the EZ-up outlet store they have really good deals on them there.

Thanks guys. Just picked up a 12 X 12 EZ UP at Big 5 on sale for $88.00. Cant loose there

[ahhell]

got that same one...just make sure you have ALL the corners tied down with rope and spikes...mine went 10 feet in the air during a dust devil last week...they do make replacement parts...:rolleyes:

I have both and the EZ UP is superior mainly in the material and sizzor portion. If you want cheap by the cheapo at Sports Authority for about $55 for a 10x10.
