Tools and Hardware Reviews of Greatland® 10x10 Sun Shelter
Customer Review: i can set it up too!
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm 92 years old and have no use of my left arm. I was still able to put it up in under 10 minutes.Customer Review: Lost Directions
Summary: 3 Stars
I've used this in the past with fine results, but I've lost the directions and now have a bunch of number poles, but no idea the order to put them in. Where can I find the printed directions for this product?Customer Review: Works -- once or twice
Summary: 2 Stars
As others have written, it IS difficult to put together -- even for two people (and I, too, have put together dozens of different tents, shelters, etc.). Also as noted by other reviews, it tears easily when exposed to the elements for even a day. Finally, during our first use, one (all plastic) corner bracket partially broke; during our SECOND -- and apparently LAST -- use, TWO MORE corner brackets broke completely. Spending even twice as much for a more robust, better designed unit will probably result in ten times as much satisfaction...and use.Customer Review: Rocket Science
Summary: 2 Stars
The little stickers on each pole which identifies which other pole it goes with don't stick on. Therefore, you are stuck with oddly matched poles with no direction of where they go. My opinion is to invest in a canopy other than a "Greatland" product.Customer Review: Falls apart almost as quickly as it sets up
Summary: 1 Stars
This item may be acceptable for extremely limited casual use. In my experience it is NOT a workable solution for a semi-permament sun shade/shelter.
My wife and I received one less than a year ago as a wedding present (June 14). We asked for this item to give us temporary relief at the home we purchased because the patio cover had to be taken down due to the inspection results. We set it up in mid-July and left it up until early October. When we took it down last fall it had holes at every crease, and at the connections for the velcro wraps. When we put it up this March we put duct tape over all the holes/creases to reinforce it. Now the material cover has completely given way to the sun and it is, for lack of a better term, disintegrating. The material on the two sides which receive the most sunlight has collapsed and hangs down exposing holes which are at least 4 feet wide on one section and three feet on the other.
We were hoping this would last us two years so we could replace the patio cover, etc but it is completely inadequate to that task. It might be useful for people who wish to use it only for a week or two each year, perhaps on a camping trip...
