The canopy was great on the one occasion I was able to use it! I’m not exactly sure what the lever is for. Have not been able to figure that part out yet. I will say, it’s very easy to pop up, and it’s extremely sturdy. It was able to withstand The wind which is a large task in the area in which I live. It also provided a great amount of shade. Putting everything back in the designated baguette came with, was a little bit of an issue. I was unable to fit the canopy in there. Overall, I would say great product!

The GCI Outdoor LevrUp Canopy is a game-changer for solo outdoor enthusiasts. Its innovative Levr Lock Technology allows for quick and easy one-person setup and takedown, eliminating the usual hassle associated with canopies. The canopy provides 100 square feet of UV-resistant shade, making it perfect for tailgating, beach outings, or camping trips. Dual airflow vents enhance stability in windy conditions and promote air circulation, keeping the area beneath cool and comfortable. While it offers excellent sun protection, it’s worth noting that the canopy isn’t designed for heavy rain; the fabric is waterproof, but unsealed seams may allow water to seep through during prolonged exposure. Overall, the LevrUp Canopy combines convenience and functionality, making it a valuable addition to any outdoor adventure.    

Fast, easy, sturdy, all around great quality product. Easy enough to pop up quickly for little projects, like working on vehicles. Dependable enough to take with you to tailgate and not have to worry about bad weather. Would highly recommend this pop up canopy. After the initial first time setup, this can be put up and taken down in a minute. Putting it in the bag takes a little longer but the design makes it so much easier than the others. The wide mouth allows it to slide in and out so you are not fighting it. Worth the money!
