Yes, I've experienced exactly this situation as well. I have a number of the
ez-up's ranging in size from 8x8 to 12x20 or so, and find it is less
expensive to buy a new one then purchase a new top. This seems to be the
trend with a number of products these days. (As well as products that have
no user serviceable or repairable components... but that is another rant)
I've also recently been thinking about purchasing a heavy duty sewing
machine, as I keep running into situations where I'd need to make custom
covers for equipment/toys and such out of heavy duty vinyl or the like. Sure
would be nice to just purchase a hunk of the fabric, sew up a cover, put
some grommets in it and call it good. Every time I ask for a quote for a
custom cover for something it is always way high.

Subject: [Shop-talk] Ez-up replacement top
I have a 10' x 10' tent, needs a new top, so I'm assuming I'd find a market
for them rather cheaply, especially since the 10x10 size is pretty common.
But instead I'm find prices for replacement tops over $200,
