It really depends on how many shows you're going to do, and how much you want to invest. None of the "easy up" canopies are going to fair well through extreme wind and weather conditions. If weather conditions get ugly while you're at a show, it's best to pack up and take it down before the wind and rain hit. I have had an Undercover Pro 10x10 pop up canopy ($400) for 3 years, but it met it's match one morning at a show when freak winds came up and took it out. Me and about 12 other easy up style canopy users ended up having to bag the show that day despite having 200lbs of weight on it. I was able to repair and salvage the canopy later, but it doesn't make up for the revenue lost at the show. If you're looking do do shows professionally, an upgrade to something like Light Dome or Trim Line. ($1000)
