FAQ

Have a question with your Instant Shelter? You’ve come to the right place. Here are a few of the most common questions. Contact us if you still need help.

General

Do E-Z UP® portable shelters really set up in seconds?
They sure do! E-Z UP® Instant Shelters® can be set up in less than 60 seconds with just two people. Our patented one-piece frame with X-shape trusses creates an accordion-like structure that unfolds quickly for fast and E-Z set up. First time set-up requires the top to be installed. The top remains on the frame making every set up E-Z.
Why doesn't my coupon work?
Coupon exclusions do apply. Coupons cannot be combined with any other offer or discount.
Do you have a video showing proper setup & take-down?
Check out this two-minute video for a step-by-step tutorial. For additional questions, refer to your owner’s manual or contact our customer service team.
Can I use my E-Z UP® portable Instant Shelter® anywhere? What about outdoors?
E-Z UP® shelters stand securely on grass, dirt, or pavement without ropes or poles. In windy conditions, we recommend using our Heavy-Duty Stake Kit or Deluxe Weight Bags to anchor and prevent your shelter from tipping over.
Where can I purchase an E-Z UP® Instant Shelter®?
E-Z UP® Instant Shelters® are available for purchase here on www.ezup.ca, in retail stores, or through one of our Authorized Dealers worldwide.
What size shelters do you have available?
We offer a range of models and sizes, from the compact 5'x5' VUE™ to the spacious 16'x16' HUB™. Common sizes include 10'x10', 12'x12', and 10'x20'. Use our Shelter Advisor for guidance.
What Fire ratings do your fabric items have?
Our fabric meets CPAI-84 & NFPA-701 Fire Resistant Requirements. View certifications here.
How much wind will my shelter withstand and when are weight bags or stakes required?
We recommend using weight bags or stake kits in all environments. Our professional weight bags hold up to 40lbs and add extra stability to your shelter.
Does a vented top help with wind?
Yes. Vented tops allow wind to flow through, reducing tilt. Our Dome® shelter combines wind vents with flexible rod tech for added resilience.
I don’t have instructions for my shelter, how do I get them?
You can find the owner’s manual for your shelter here.
Can I get a custom E-Z UP® top for a frame from another company?
No. Our tops are designed specifically for E-Z UP® frames. We don’t recommend mixing components with other brands.
How do I know what existing model I have?
Model numbers are on a sticker inside one shelter leg near the top. See example.
Do you offer shelters with sports/collegiate team logos?
No. We do not offer pre-printed team logos. Customers often select canopies in team colors instead.
What accessories are available?
We offer sidewalls, railskirts, screen rooms, weight bags, stake kits, roller bags, and more.
I purchased sidewalls, what are the zippers for?
Zippers connect sidewalls together. You can use three for a semi-enclosure or four for full enclosure.
I am a non-profit; do I get a discount?
Yes, non-profits may receive discounts. Contact us or check out our sponsorship page.
Can I add more items to my order?
No. Once placed, orders are processed immediately. To add items, place a new order.

How do I wash the top/sidewall/table cover?
