    The problem with EZ-Ups is that the corners can puddle rain,
    especially if they are not fitted with the special little extra
    supports made for the corners. This can be a problem for the owner--
    I've seen one collapse during the night from heavy rain, which was
    pretty hard on the (ceramic) contents-- or it can be a problem for
    neighbors-- once, a next-door artist with an EZ-Up borrowed my broom
    during rain, and used it to push up his water-filled corners to
    empty them--right into my booth. The stuctural elements are also not
    as strong as some more expensive tents. I have a Light Dome, and it
    takes a long time to set up, compared to an EZ-Up, without a doubt.
    But when other tents were sailing into Lake Michigan in a
    microburst, mine was unphazed. Plus it has walls that zip in the
    middle as well as the corners, and a sky light. Lastly, the frame
    can be used indoors without the top, and can be any size square or
    rectangle up to 10 X 10 when it is "topless". I cannot regret the
    investment, even though I do a very limited number of shows.
