I spoke with 2 owners of V3 canopies and inspected their structures prior to ordering a V3 for myself . I have used a frame assembled steel tube and pin canopy for 30 years . The V3 is the first well engineered , high quality canopy that offers both strength and alacrity and something I was willing to invest in . It is quick to deploy and even faster to take down . On the cons …. If solo erecting the structure , it is not so George Jetson as you might think . One must be in more than one place at the same time . Possible for an electron perhaps … but not so for humans who are working alone . There are creative ways to manage but I would suggest a number of dry runs prior to any scheduled public event .
