Tools and Hardware Reviews of Greatland® 10x10 Sun Shelter
Customer Review: Falls apart almost as quickly as it sets up
Summary: 1 Stars
This item may be acceptable for extremely limited casual use. In my experience it is NOT a workable solution for a semi-permament sun shade/shelter.
My wife and I received one less than a year ago as a wedding present (June 14). We asked for this item to give us temporary relief at the home we purchased because the patio cover had to be taken down due to the inspection results. We set it up in mid-July and left it up until early October. When we took it down last fall it had holes at every crease, and at the connections for the velcro wraps. When we put it up this March we put duct tape over all the holes/creases to reinforce it. Now the material cover has completely given way to the sun and it is, for lack of a better term, disintegrating. The material on the two sides which receive the most sunlight has collapsed and hangs down exposing holes which are at least 4 feet wide on one section and three feet on the other.
We were hoping this would last us two years so we could replace the patio cover, etc but it is completely inadequate to that task. It might be useful for people who wish to use it only for a week or two each year, perhaps on a camping trip...Customer Review: A cheap and EASY solution

I bought this "Sun shelter" hoping that the material would be waterproof as the reminants of Hurricane Ivan hit us on my first camping weekend in PA. It held up extremely well under very heavy rains. We eventually threw a tarp over it in order to keep out the horizontal rain. It worked famously, and I bought it in-store for only 25 bucks!!! So for spending a total of 33 bucks I got a completely waterproof 10x10 tent with a clearance of almost 8 feet! At first I though it was going to be very hard to put up but after reading the directions, it took me and my girlfriend a total of 10 minutes to put up. THANKS FOR THE GREAT BUY!Customer Review: Good value

This inexpensive sun shade is a great rain shelter as well. We use it to cover our grill area when entertaining in questionable weather. It takes awhile to put it up (30 minutes is pretty accurate), and I do it myself without issue. I was surprised to see the reviewer below complain about needing three people to build it - that seems a bit extreme. For $35 bucks it does what it is supposed to. If you need an easier setup you can get one of the more elaborate canopies for $150-$200 or so that comes pre-assembled. But this is a cheap, easy solution.Customer Review: Works -- once or twice
Summary: 2 Stars
As others have written, it IS difficult to put together -- even for two people (and I, too, have put together dozens of different tents, shelters, etc.). Also as noted by other reviews, it tears easily when exposed to the elements for even a day. Finally, during our first use, one (all plastic) corner bracket partially broke; during our SECOND -- and apparently LAST -- use, TWO MORE corner brackets broke completely. Spending even twice as much for a more robust, better designed unit will probably result in ten times as much satisfaction...and use.Customer Review: Does Not Set Up in Minutes !

We purchased this item because it was suppose to be easy to set up. I am a seasoned camper and have used several different tents over the years. This sun shelter took 3 people to set up. It is awkward and is impossible to set up alone and would be difficult to set up with 2 people. It took 3 of us over a half an hour both times we used it.
