Years ago I washed ONE in the washer ( not sure of the water or detergant) but there is a thin water proof lining on the back that will "MELT" or something and will cause you more grief than it's worth. It looks like dead skin pealing off a sunburn.

Best thing I can suggest is a pressure washer and a scrub brush. Worked on ours, when we had one anyway.

I used to be an EZ-up dealer back in the 90's. It's nylon pack cloth, the lining on the back is a urethane coating. Best to use a mild non-detergent soap solution, hand wash with a sponge or SOFT bristle brush, cold or luke warm water. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, do not dry clean.
Be careful using a power washer, especially on the coated (back) side. Good luck! [;)]

EZ-up was good to me, they'd give me a free 10'x 10' every year simply for using their logo in my yellow pages ad. Then Sam's club opened & started selling them to the public for less than I could buy them for. Bastids. [:(!]

In the store, or on an online site? Sounds like a deal. The cheapest replacement tops I could find were $139, might as well buy a whole new tent.

EZups are not for "SHOW" use. It all depends on what your needs are and how you work.

If your working with a show and going to be up for 5-10 days they are no good, but if you are working 1-2 day street festivals they are perfect!

All depends on your situation.

If you have one tear up on ya, save that one and when another breaks a bar, just rob one off your bad unit and replace with the old one.

I"ve got some I've had for nearly 10 years.

Two I need to replace the tops on.

Exactly. They are also not idiot proof, I rented them over the counter for a while, about a third of the time they came back bent or otherwise damaged because some folks have no patience or common sense & couldn't comprehend simple directions. They start forcing things when they don't move smoothly, or they didn't tie them down correctly.
