Which Tent?

[ClearView WRS]

Can you guys help me with picking the RIGHT tent? I looked at all the threads... Seems like most tent users here suggest that either Costco or Sam's Club tents are the way to go. For some reason I didn't like Costco's tents. I liked Sam's Club --- Encore II Canopy w/Two-Way Awning tent.

AND I also found one on MaxTool.com ---

Which one would you suggest? And is 10X20 too big for a bussy mall parking lot? Thanks!

The product number for the second tent(maxtool.com) is HC1020PC.

I have the 10x10 quik shade that is at the site you listed but paid $69.95 at Dicks Sporting goods

I also have the 10x10 from dick's and it works great. i bought the side for it also. I then purchased a banner from Office max at a nice price it is 2x10 long. I have only used it once at the flea market but plan this spring to put it to action somewere in town.

I've learned three (3) things about tents. First, can they withstand 30mph wind gusts. North TX is prairrie terraine and the wind gets horrible.:eusa_whis Second, can one person put up & take down the tent in wind. And lastly, know when to take down the top so that wind doesn't bend the frame.

Also, I use two FREE WINDSHIELD REPAIR 2' X 10' banners - one on each side of the tent. In wind these act like sails and can tear down a tent quickly.

Moral; but a good, sturdy tent.
