moniek Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I am thinking of doing a craft show in my home town at the end of May, where is the best place to get the EZ UP canaopy at? I guess I need the 3 sidewalls to, I am sure if I dont get them, it will pour rain!! Just needed some input on this subject from all you experienced candle makers!! Another thing, will the heat effect my candles to bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaGA Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11604&highlight=EZupI entered 'EZup' in search and got the above thread. Entered tent and got too many threads to wade thru with dial-up. LOL.added....http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2556&highlight=outdoor+heatGot this thread using 'outdoor heat'. I really miss the keyword qualifier for searches. I know there are other threads about outdoor festivals & candles. Maybe on the old board?HTH.

SaraScribbles Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 We found ours at Home Depot last year. However, EZup it was not. That thing is a PITA!Hope you have better luck with yours then we have with ours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandelion garden Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I got mine at Dick's Sporting Goods. Got it cheap(er) at the end of the season and used a 15% off coupon from the Entertainment Book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moniek Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 Okay, I found one online at a place in Tn. Tell me what you think if its a good deal or not.

lindsaycb Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 My problem is, I need one that I can put up by myself. $271...yikes. Seems like a large investment for just one show. Do you have lots of others planned for the season? I've never had good success at shows in the summer for candles. Soaps have been good, but candles just a flop until Aug/SeptemberAnyone with that same experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Common Scents Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I got mine at K-Mart for $79.95 but mine didn't come with the walls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moniek Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 Yes, I am planning to do more shows. If I am not mistaken, this can be done with one person. I just wanted to know if this was a good deal or not. Other places wanted alot more for less stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I think I got mine for about $200, but without the awning. That was a few years ago. So that's a little high.For example, mine's a Caravan - about the same quality as an EZUP. Got it at Costco. http://www.caravancanopy.com/shopdisplayproducts.son?id=27&cat=Traveler+Kit online they're $179. Don't know what the shipping would be, though...

VerticallyEnhanced Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I got my first one off of ebay. With shipping it was around $225. That was with four walls and an awning, carrying case, etc. Now I do 10x20 booths and I had to buy another one. I actually found one on Craigslist. It was from someone who was going to do craftshows and changed their mind. It was identical to my first one and I bought it for $100. If you have craigslist in your area, I would check there too.

Patience Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I've seen them on ebay for $100 plus shipping. I think you can find a better price than $271. You could also try creating the sides with shower curtains or bed sheets from a discount store like Big Lots. Let us know how it works out for you and best of luck with your show.

Jeana Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 The last time I looked online for Walmart they had some for about $89 - maybe not this brand name though. They were advertised as easy for one person to assemble. And when I was looking I used the search word "canopy" and didn't get all the camping stuff to wade through.

Meridith Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I first bought a cheap one without the side walls and then saw one with the side wall as Sams that I bought. At first I was reluctanct to buy the one from Sams since it was about $200.00. It is worth the extra money to get those sidewalls. First show you do in sunny or rainy weather, and you will thanking yourself that you spent that extra and got one with those sidewalls. I know we were glad that we did.

Scented Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Got ours for a little over $200. Has sidewalls and the awning and you get a banner too. Would be cool if had an awning all the way around lol. This was in August. And it's the same one we saw recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valleygrls98 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 you can get a good deal on e-bay I just priced them. we got ours at Sams Club but it looks like you can get an off Brand one on e-bay for less than $100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blest2BAmerican Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I bought mine at Costco for $199.00. I has the side walls and the storage bag will rollers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 A word of warning on the 'off brand' canopies. I got an off brand 10 x 10 from an eBay supplier for $70. No shipping since I could pick it up. Didn't last 1 summer and I never could put the damn thing up by myself even though it was advertised as a 1 person set up. Without out a doubt the worst candle related investment I have made to date. If you are going to be doing several outdoor show definitely go for one with the side walls and go for a quality canopy. Try Sam's Club for the EZUP. Should be around $200 with the side walls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingrid Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I got mine last season at BJ's. Paid 179.00 included 3 sides, banner, cover with wheels. Ingrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VerticallyEnhanced Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Another thing about some of the off brands is that they are not true 10x10. The feet may measure out at 10x10, but they slant upwards and the actual awning may only be 8x8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Definitely check with Sam's if you have one nearby. I had logged onto the EZ-Up site before I bought my tent and am on their mailing list. Yesterday I got an e-mail from them with the same tent I have ON SALE for about $100 more than I paid at Sam's. And, of course, shipping would be additional.I used my tent about 5 times last year and it was wonderful--when a show lasted 3 days, I could just zip the sides closed and go in the next morning to everything already set up.Good luck--hope you find one at a great price (I think mine was about $179-$189).Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moniek Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 I am not a member at the Sams club, so I will have to look elsewhere. Thanks for all the info!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homespundon Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I have an EZ Up brand canopy that I bought on E-bay from a seller in central KY. It came with 4 sidewalls and a front awning with a sleeve for a sign. I paid @ $200 including shipping. That was 2 years ago. The unit has been wonderful. I would recommend nothing but EZ Up, but that is personal preference. HTHBlessings,Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moniek Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 Hey ya'll, I just looked on ebay, and the same exact ez up canopy was there for 179.00. But shipping was 112.00! By the time you add that shipping charge, its more than the one I found! :undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Take the info into Wal-Mart and see if they'll order it for you. Since Sam's Club carries them they may be available thru wally world. I've heard Cosco carries them if you are member there. Or for that kind of savings you may want to join Sam's. My DH won't join since they don't accept Visa. But then he can be a stubburn a$$ at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
