I am pleased so far.  My main event I want to use it for is a football tailgate and it isn't for a couple months.  I did a trial run "homegate" at my home and it worked well.  Generated enough shade with the sides down to watch tv under it.  The bag is huge, wont fit in a trunk so something to consider for traveling with it. I am not sure the sides will zipper shut outside the poles, they may need to go inside.  Requires more investigation on my part.  I can hopefully add more pictures and details after the official tailgate.
