We use an EZ Up with screen insets and it works great. It was really windy at Wakarusa last year and it held up fine. Ours is four years old now, does festivals and tailgating, and holds up well. But stake that puppy down. Never seen those insets- looks cool!
The wife and I used one of these at some festivals earlier this year.
The space is more than adequate for the two of us and an extra large air mattress and the setup (and tear down) were lightning quick.
The workmanship (quality) is a little crappy as far as the seams and stiching, but it seemed tight enough after seam sealer was applied.
We experienced some strong wind and weather and everything did just fine.
Anyone here have any experiences using such a rig that they would like to share?
I will be doing something very similar. I have two 10x10 First-Up canopies that I will place side by side at our site. I bought removable side walls for one of the canopies-> that is the one we will be sleeping under with our padded cots. I am going to hang sheets of some sort to the walls of the other canopy-> that one is for sitting under.
These are great. I put one up over my tent to and then don't put a rain fly on the tent. I agree with the other comment - steak the tent down. Roo has had clay soil so you need solid steaks to anchor the cover. I've been looking at the weather in Manchester the past few weeks and while we have not had hard rain the past two years (but some strong ass winds) I'm planning on both strong winds and rain at least once this year.
If you don't use steaks to anchor your tent the cooler (filled with drinks and ice) works well on at least one corner or to the center of the pop up. But if you don't do something on each corner you will return to a wind blown camp with a bunch of scrap metal.

Don't be mad at me but I have to laugh because I have this vision of a couple of ribeyes and maybe a t-bone being used to stake a tent down. ;D
PETA would not be very happy if you use steaks to anchor your tent and EZ up

Hey now. Don't forget to bring along some plastic to make a gutter between the EZ-ups. -Nothing worse than a wall of water coming down between your two shelter areas.
Tack up a plastic sheet between the two with one end hung slightly lower than the other and you will be able to safely channel the water off to the side where hopefully no one will mind.
As far as the sheet dimensions, I usually cut it to about a 2ft width by 10ft. You could probably use a small tarp and fold it to fit your prefferred widht/lenth.
