Good things - costco has it in stock almost all the time
Bad - can't buy replacement canopy from coleman or 3rd party, does not hold texas rain, does not have rain drain holes, disintegrated in 6 months, frame got bended after first heavy rain, looks like only costso source this specific model.
I'm thinking to buy another generic coleman model https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0033990N8/ or go to hardtop (but it will be x10 expensive)

Get a cheap one. I got the instant Ozark 10 x 10 slant leg from Walmart for 40. If it breaks, I'm not stressing.
Get a huge mosquito net that covers it. Got it from Amazon for 30. I can use it on the canopy or my umbrella. Bugs are everywhere in my area.
Tarp to cover the ground. Again, helps with bugs.
I was looking at other canopies that have the net but it was too much and I'm sure the net will rip at one point. Or the top canopy. The cost to replace those are high or non existent. Solution was to macguyver it and it's been fantastic. No serious loss if anything gets jacked up.
I can set this up by myself in less than 15 minutes and have been using it for 2 months regularly.

I've taken to treating the canopy as soon as I can (brand new if possible) with a product. Yes the product costs money, but if I can eke a season or 2 more out of a shelter, it's worth it.
Previously I've used a product called Solar Shield [solarshieldprotection.com] but have also thought of just using 303. I bought a canopy that sits on our deck April-September, in full sun most of the time, and wanted to try and increase the longevity of it (not an instant or portable type, takes a few hours to setup, but I take the canopy off in the winter). When it was brand new I laid out the canopy in the garage and put 2 coats of the Solar Shield [solarshieldprotection.com] on it (13x13' or so). It has faded since, but I bought it near the end of the summer in 2018. Still going strong.
For a new unit I'm thinking I'd pack the canopy tight, maybe put in a PVC pipe, and add a bunch of 303, let it sit for an hour or 2, then drain. A gallon of 303 is like $60 (you can get it cheaper on sale), but realize that a canopy isn't going to soak much of it up, so you might wind up spending $15 or so to treat a canopy.
