This canopy has been a fantastic replacement for the large, bulky one I used to own. One of the best features for me was the compact packaging, which made it much easier to store and transport. The setup was quick and hassle-free, which is always a plus.I particularly appreciated the zip enclosure that kept bugs out of the car—perfect for outdoor activities. One pleasant surprise was how well the mesh worked with my projector setup. I was able to project a clear image through the mesh while the projector was inside the car without any issues.Overall, this canopy is versatile, easy to use, and a great addition for any outdoor event. Highly recommend!

We tried this last weekend. Setting it up for the first time was moderately difficult due to the many flaps and surfaces and very limited instructions. That said, once figured out subsequent setups should be much quicker.It does provide insect protection while the rear hatch is open, good for warm days/nights. One can still close the hatch once everything is set up, but obviously the car itself can't go anywhere. So, better for places where the car stays stationary than those where you do frequent trips from the camp base.The shade provided is good, but if there is no wind it still gets very toasty in the area underneath. We haven't tried rolling up the side flaps, that should provide better air flow but less shaded area. It was fairly windy, and the flaps and straps and anchors held up alright, and the connection to the car if pretty good.As others pointed out, one needs an area where the stakes can be hammered in which can be challenging in rock-hard soil. Watch out to not trip over the lines, but that is just its nature. Keeps you alert. I am glad the lines are long, gives them more flexibility to say tie them to trees.Putting it back together with 3 ppl was easier, and unlike others we had no issues stuffing it back into the original bag, along with stakes and poles.Overall I like it... we left the rear hatch open (Honda Odyssey) and it makes the whole place very well ventilated (got too cold actually). I like the flexibility in attaching it to the car, and rolling up/letting down the various flaps.I was hoping it would serve as a privacy screen for outside showers, but that will require some additional curtain (needed anyway so the inside doesn't get wet).

We have started camping in our SUV but wanted a bit more room and an awning. This tent fits the bill and works great.When we unpacked the tent we were impressed with how thick and strong the fabric felt. Everything needed to set it up was included in the bag including instructions and a QR code to a video. It was not complicated to set up. Attaching it to the car was easy. It is a bit snug on the hatch of a Toyota Sequoia but this does not seem to cause an issue. Setting it up the first time can take a little extra time since you need to tie the 6 cords to the awning. After that initial setup, it goes on in just a few minutes. The bag is also plenty big enough to fit everything back inside.One thing I was not sure about from the listing was if the whole thing can be zipped shut. The answer is yes it can. The awnings can be rolled up and the roof section can zip over the mesh for complete privacy. However, we found this isn't really needed. The awning provides plenty of privacy while still allowing for ventilation.Our second time out with this tent it rained cats and dogs all night. We thought we might wake up in the middle of the lake. The tent kept us completely dry. The tent is different from ordinary tent material. It has a thick plastic coating on the inside so it will not leak even if you touch it.We are very pleased with this purchase and look forward to camping even more.

This is going to fit my needs for upcoming road trips in my 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon with 2.5L engine. I had spent weeks researching other SUV tents and such and then realized that I don't NEED a 4-6+ person tent for mostly me and occasionally a plus one. An SUV Canopy is what I REALLY need and this one looks like it'll work great. I looked at quite a few other canopies but settled on this one. Was a little concerned there was only 7 reviews at the time I ordered, all without any pics, but those 7 people seemed to think this was a winner and I agree! I think I'm gonna love this for quite while as it seems to be pretty stout when all cinched down. This canopy really opens up the rear end for a bit of privacy as well as a sun shade & will greatly enhance the camping experience.I set it up in my side yard for its initial test run. Small size bag when first un-packaging. 2 decent poles and 6 small stakes with 6 rope ties laid out right on top. Although the instructions are attached to the inside of the bag, more as pics than text, they aren't exactly clear and don't highlight the important focal points to look for when assembling. I assembled this for the first time, by myself, on a slightly windy day. How long did it take you ask? Wasn't concerned about timing myself and I stopped several times to backtrack or to take pics, which I've got plenty more, or to take another drink of my beer. Now that I've got it up and see how it fits together, I think I can put it completely up by myself in 20-mins or so, maybe less by the 3rd or 4th time of road trippin'. After seeing how it all fits on my car, I moved a couple of the suggested strapping points in the instructions to different locations that allow me to use all 4 car doors without strap interference. I'm pointing to them in several pics.It's well made, the zippers have good action and seem that they'll last a good # of years, depending what type of weather they're submitted to. The bug screen at the back of the open Wagon is good quality and the zippers move easily. For $70 I think this is is a good deal. I will buy some additional items to customize it for my needs such 2 more tent poles for the rear flap, better 12-inch stakes with rope-ties and a few strong magnets to keep the sides a bit more closed to help keep the bugs out. There's only a few small gaps that need to be closed by magnets. I would still recommend this to everyone for purchase, adding just a few other items for around $45 more dollars.To get to 5-Stars I'd like to see these changes, which I'm going to buy on the side:1) Change the stakes and ropes from 6 each to 8 each so you can also stake the poles, which I had to being by myself and it being windy2) Add a 2nd set of poles for the rear flap so that you can allow it to be flat instead of at such a steep angle. This will allow easier rear access to the car and provide better shade and view from my camping chair.3) A larger storage bag. Ain't no way that thing is going back into such a small bag ever again. Have a bungee strap around it and put it all away in one of my extra plastic totes with lid that I already had.Can't wait to take it out on my next road trip coming up soon. I'll come back and post pics & experience to see how it works in the real world.*** Update ***I bought the additional items mentioned above to make this a 5-star product. The new tent stakes I bought are not only longer but more sturdy, adding the 2nd set of red tent poles give me more options when I camp, and I ended up using the original storage bag for just the tent stakes, rope & hammer, with everything stored in the extra yellow-lid storage container that I previously owned.
