Amazon.com Product Description
Designed for durability, functionality, and portability, the Swiss Gear Smart Shade 10-by-10-foot Screenhouse sets up and folds down in minutes. Lightweight and easy to carry, the screenhouse's tubular steel frame is strong enough to provide a rigid shelter that withstands strong winds. Built-in batwings and guyouts provide added stability in windy conditions. Versatile deck feet with anchor points for stakes or screws are also included for added stability. The frame is designed to be lightweight, yet strong. Its telescoping corner post provide the screenhouse's upright support while its upper support is made of a series of connected, scissor-like steel sections with pivoting joints. Fully unfolded, the steel canopy frame creates a taut, clean-lined canopy roof with an attractive fascia or eave covering the scissored frame work. Other features include patented, easy-release buttons that won't pinch fingers and a heavy-duty water repellent 210D polyester covering that's enhanced with a special UV resistant coating for added durability.

 The BEST! May 23, 2007

Year after year ordering tent after tent. Finally, this one is fabulous! Easy to put up, sturdy, well made, sharp looking, and easy to move. Great detailed construction. Comes in a great zippered carry bag with pockets and wheels, similar to a golf travel bag. Zippers very good quality. Great fitting screens. Vertical walls give great room and coverage. The fabric is a very nice and much softer white than in the pictures. Frame is one big piece that unfolds like an accordian. 5 minutes max to put up. Much better than I expected. I put three together and now have 300 square feet of a new summer home. Could not be more pleased!

I had wanted a pop-up canopy for some time, primarily to use at the outdoor shooting range, and after the last range trip where we had no shade whatsoever, I finally bought the Swiss Gear screen house. Although EZ-UP has more name recognition, I was looking at the Quik Shade 10x10 Recreational model because I'd used them at work and really liked the vented canopy. However, the legs were flimsy.
This screen house had good reviews and although the price was higher than comparable products from competitors, I decided on the Swiss Gear. (Their reputation was an additional selling point.) It's taken me a long time to learn the "pay once for quality" lesson, but I've finally learned it (and this purchase reaffirmed it). I was initially disappointed to learn that the canopy is designed to be removed from the frame every time you take it down, but I got over it.
We have no cover over our patio at home, so I decided to set this canopy up as a temporary summer solution. I put it up by myself in about 10 minutes. I would have preferred to have help, as I had to lean the canopy on two legs and I was afraid of bending them as I did the Quik Shade, but the legs are sturdy steel (vs. aluminum) and held up nicely. I have yet to attach the screen panels but I expect them to perform as well as the canopy itself.
Overall, it's fantastic and worth every penny. It looks great and works as advertised. Bonus: This past Friday we had our first family backyard barbecue in 14 years!
Update 11/16/08: Each time I use it, it makes me happier. This past weekend I took the canopy to an outdoor car show. My uncle commented on how easy it was to set up, and said, "Boy, you got the deluxe model." I attached one of the screen panels (it comes with two; they attach to each other with zippers and attach to the canopy with Velcro and metal hooks) and was again pleased with the ease of setup and the quality of the product. This time when I folded the canopy, I left the top cover on the frame and it required very little extra effort to put the whole thing into the storage bag.
One suggestion: I'd like to see a rubber or plastic bumper around the bottom of the storage bag. I dragged the bag about a foot before I realized I didn't have it on its wheels, and the asphalt wore through a couple of layers of nylon. My fault entirely, but a skid plate would be a nice touch.

when they say it sets up in minutes, they're not joking. this is very well made and extremely easy to set up/collapse. For $100, you can't go wrong.

I set this up in June and took it down in October. Very well made with many quality features. My only complaint is that it is a little difficult for one person to set up. But it can be done. I love this and will be using it over and over for many years. Looks beautiful and functions even beter. Quality product.
An amazing product from an amazing company. August 13, 2008

Hello. I purchased the Swiss Gear Smart Shade Screenhouse a few months ago. It goes everywhere with us. It is very easy to put up, very easy to transport and of very, very good quality. Its just a no brainer for the price.
You have to worry sometimes about customer service when you buy something from a place like Amazon because if anything ever goes wrong - its not Amazon you are dealing with - but the manufacturer. Well... I have dealt with this company's customer service before and they are hands down without compair. They believe in their products and back them 100%.
They are excellent communicators and just want to help. I will go out of my way to buy from Swiss Gear in the future, even if I have a choice between two products and theirs happens to be more expensive because you cannot put a price on good customer service.
WIth this said - I am doublely thrilled because the screen was an amazing price - cheaper in-fact than screens of half the quality.
