Don't have an NR sun canopy - ours is made by Dorema, I think. We use it when we're abroad to save carrying a full awning which we don't need in warmer climes. Our canopy takes about 10 minutes to erect and dismantle and it is supported by 3 poles and guys and works very well, although it needs to well pegged down in strong winds. We've had to take it down a couple of times in the 6 or 7 years we've used it due to windy conditions. NR awnings generally have a good reputation, so I doubt you'd have any quality issues.
