What is this canopy?

Betsey,
In the link I listed, there are straight tent poles not curved. I can't find anything on the Tsugabsite that looks the same.
Thanks!
 
Almost looks more like a ground tarp or as they are called today a 'footprint' strung between several poles. Or because it doesn't look quite square the rainfly from a typical tent which sometimes has extensions for vestibules. For my Big Agnes tent they even give instructions on using just the rain fly and footprint if you don't want to setup the full tent. Seehttps://www.bigagnes.com/Products/Detail/Tent/CopperSpurUL32012 and look at the photo 4th from left.

I found something that looks similar but I think they're of a smaller scale.

I would just contact Socal teardrops and ask what brand it is. Although Appalachian/Socal Teardrops sell them I don't believe it's a Tsuga. I've seen the Tsuga's at several local RV shows (their shop isn't far from me). The only thing they bring is the canopy below. If you decide on a Tsuga Canopy try to get it at a show, they highly discount them there… great product, but very pricey.

Folks,
Does anyone know anything about this canopy on the link below?
Who makes it? Likes, dislikes if you own one?
Thanks all.

I just talked with one of the people who make the So-Cals, this guy is in Phoenix, AZ @ Canyon Country Teardrops. He thought the people who were making So-Cals at Appalchian Teardrops, where the picture that you linked to is, are actually out of the So-Cal business and are now making solar panels. I had tried calling Appalachian, but got a 'bad number' recording. I didn't know that So-Cals were made by anyone but the people at So-Cal, but this guy explained that they have a licensing agreement to build them.
Anyway, he was not aware of that particular tarp being made or offered by So-Cal. He thought it was just somebody's own purchased or homemade tarp.
I like that setup - it seems to offer plenty of covered space, and looks like it would hold up to some decent winds.

Awhile back, So Cal put out offers for people to be part of their distribution/builder network. Looking to expand their business.

:cool:
 
These guys from Arizona went to California, built a trailer with supervision at the So-Cal factory, and began selling them in December in Phoenix...
