Nice job Twanksta. That silver has a nice glow to it after you gave it proper TLC.

The brand is First-Up. Its a bit of a pain by yourself, but with two people it takes less than a minute or two. Basically its an accordian so its hard to stretch it four ways with one person! haha!
You guys who have never owned an "EZ-UP" style canopy, here's some free advice. Tie it down to something. You'd be surprised how quickly a stiff wind will get under one of those things and knock it over.

Great work again Billy. I tried your idea of the Lusso over the Eisnette. You are right it adds some nice depth and a wet look.

As for tie downs you can check Dick's sporting goods. They sell weights that look like workout weights but they have a cutout on them so they slide around the leg and over the little foot. Minimal space and time to set up.

it's cool to see you guys give each other good tips/help each other out.

I'll have to check out the canopy/sandbags myself.

One other thing to mention regarding the portable canopies that I forgot. Don't force them when you're packing them up. You'll eventually bend part of it that way.

And Twanksta - since you've purchased so much of this stuff for your business venture, if you're not doing it already, keep a log (and your receipts) of what you're purchasing. I've never owned a small business before, but I bet you can write off at least some of the stuff on your taxes.
