    North GA but yes. Including one storm that dropped a foot on the canopy - I do try and break the ice up if it's more than a 1/4" thick.

    Snow never lasts very long but we get some most every year.

    What do these robust steel canopies weigh? I finally dumped my steel framed canopy because it was so heavy one guy had real difficulty putting it up and taking it down. It was replaced by a long succession of smashed and broken and bent Walmart, Lowes, and Home Depot aluminum lightweights.

    Curious if you used the standard ABC canopy or the hex leg version? I had the hex version out overnight at Tally and it made it through unscathed. It was pretty strapped down, as well as being in the lowest position. Wind can be random too so who knows.

    My previous strategy was to buy a $50 canopy from Academy Sports every year or two. The hold up ok, but eventually fold. 3-5 of these are equal to the price of something better.

    I have used ABC for years. Not hex leg, just the powder coated frame version. Had a weekend of rain at CVMA and had minor pooling in the morning but did fine. We dont get much rain here on the west coast. Just friggen wind! Every track built out here is in middle of desert that has gnarly winds many weekends. Thats the true test!

    Man I've had 2 heavy duty 10x10 EZUP Eclipse for 10 years and use them often for riding, tournaments and even work occasionally. They've been flawless and are just now starting to show wear. I'm also really anal about who helps me set them up and take them down as there's a right way and a wrong way to do it.

    I had one - 10x20. PITA to put up, but worth it.

    EZ-UPs were for dem rich folk.
