VEVOR has a great solution if you need any area of your yard shaded. This canopy would be brilliant for your chickens, backyard, parties, farmers market events, or other special events. This is a heavy duty canopy that we intend to leave up all summer long for our small farmers market. Check out their link below. I also encourage you to visit their website because they have so many brilliant solutions to many of our issues.

Good Morning
Nice set-up, good luck with your new Shade Canopy…
I use to use a canopy like this for antique shows, but they were heavy and the corners needed to be wrapped around the legs in a confusing mess. I like these! I love the idea of the bungees going through riveted holes along the roof line. I wonder if you can just buy the corners? I’ll go look.
Mine has been up 24/7 for maybe 3 years? It made it through 2 tropical systems. Only recently the cover tore at the top. Greg will want to cross brace the canopy with some good rope to keep the canopy from becoming a air balloon 😆
I did a similar thing but with on my tunnel and waiting delivery of 40% shade cloth to pull over the top.
I used cargo straps and ground anchors like hubby did (They will hold several hundred pounds of stress) the ball and cordage in the upper corners are called (soft shackles) they are great.
I appreciate you sharing your journey, it inspires and encourages us to continue the fine fight for (self-reliance). Because the infrastructure is sinking fast like a torpedoed ship.
I solved the squash bug problem. Get you a gallon sprayer fill it full of water then add dish soap. Shake the sprayer mixing it then pump it and spray all around the soil of your squash plants with the nozzle adjusted to stream. The squash bugs will come scurring out from hiding and move up the squash plant to higher ground. Then adjust your spray nozzle to mist and coat the squash bugs with soap suds. The bugs all die within 30 seconds. Problem solved.
Nice! We used a much lighter weight pop-up canopy at farmers markets and just brought sandbags and bungee cords to help in wind. Faster to deploy and easier to transport in limited space for us. But I can see many uses for this beefier canopy.
Those little elastic dongles with the balls have deteriorated over time with exposure to sun and fluctuations in temps where I’ve used them. I replaced them with stainless steel zip ties for more long term installations. Plastic zip ties worked well for temporary fix. Just keep an eye on them. They can look fine but when you touch them you realize they have lost elasticity and become weak.
We have stockpiled some shade cloth in the sizes we use because we know we actually need those to garden in our climate. Even okra needs some afternoon shade here during July and onward.
Great review! Hugs.
Awesome information Thanks Jill!!!❤🎉😁😁😁
It looks very nice and can't wait to see it as a farmer's market!
Everything looks gorgeous. Looking forward to the green bean canning. ❤
That's a very nice addition. Looks very substantial and should last a long time
Can see many uses for this at our place. Thanks for the review Jill and Greg! Blessings
Yeah they don’t build stuff for West Texas winds. That is a true test!😂
Your garden looks fantastic! It’s easy to see all the hard work that y’all have put into it. Good luck with it!
Absolutely lovely video at the beginning. Really like your new tent. Hopefully, you will sell many vegetables in that tent. Went to our tiny farmers’ market this morning; have been canning organic carrots all day. 😉
Do they ship international.
