The COOSHADE 12x12 canopy features a hexagonal 6-sided design that increases usable floor space and structural stability compared to square 4-sided units. It utilizes a patented "1-Step Lock" central hub that allows a single person to deploy and lock the frame without needing assistance at the corners. The frame is made of powder-coated steel with reinforced cross-truss ribbing, while the 150D Oxford fabric provides a flame-resistant, UV-protected ceiling.
The hexagonal geometry is more aerodynamically stable in low-to-moderate winds, provided all six anchor points are utilized. The mesh walls are designed to be "no-see-um" grade to block small biting insects. To maintain the zippers on the mesh panels, applying a silicone lubricant can help them glide smoothly under the tension of the hexagonal frame. At 40-45 pounds, this unit is sturdier than many 10x10 models but requires more effort to transport from a vehicle to the setup site.
If you are looking for a unit with a similar hexagonal shape but in a lighter, fiberglass-based construction, the Raynesys 6-Sided Gazebo is a viable alternative.
