Pop-Up Shade for Camping, Tailgating, and More

Best of all, our canopy tents pack up just as easily as they set up, so you can spend more time making memories and less time messing with your gear. And if you ever need to refresh your setup, we’ve got canopy tops and parts to keep your gear going strong for years to come. From backyard hangouts to game day setups, CORE’s canopy tents have got you covered!

Why choose a CORE canopy?

Whether you’re a tailgater, camper, or just like spending time with your crew outside, setting up shade shouldn't feel like a chore. That’s why CORE canopies are built with quick, intuitive setup in mind. Our Center Push technology and accordion-style frames let you pop up your canopy in just minutes. Our Center Push canopies open like an umbrella, locking into place with a simple push from the center, so you can go from packed to pitched without breaking a sweat.

Each canopy is designed with 50+ UV-coated fabric to help shield you from the sun, giving you a cool, shaded space to relax, hang out, or fire up the grill. The steel frames and reinforced corners add long-lasting durability, while adjustable legs make it easy to set up on all kinds of surfaces, from uneven campsites to paved parking lots. Select models also include built-in ventilation, so you can enjoy a breezy, comfortable setup even on hot days.

CORE canopies are portable, too. Every model comes with its own carry bag, and the heavy models include wheels for effortless transport. It’s the kind of grab and-go gear that fits seamlessly into your weekend plans. Whether you’re flipping burgers before the big game or unwinding at camp after a hike, CORE’s canopy tents give you instant shade, reliable protection, and more room to make memories outside.

10' x 10' Center Push Instant Canopy

This fan favorite is the go-to option for campers, nature-loving families, and tailgaters who want fast shade and dependable performance. Our 10' x 10' Center Push Instant Canopy is just the right size for smaller family groups: perfect for a backyard birthday party, shaded lunch break at the campground, or pregame prep station in a stadium parking lot.

Set up a cozy hangout space for your kids between games or use it as a shaded spot to prep sandwiches, keep coolers accessible, and give grandparents a comfortable place to relax out of the sun. This size works great for families of four to six and still fits easily into most parking spaces or compact campsites.

Thanks to CORE’s signature Center Push technology, setup is as easy as clicking an umbrella into place. Just push up from the center and the frame locks into position. That means no complicated steps, tangled ropes, or extra hands required.

Adjustable steel legs offer 15 height settings to give you the perfect pitch for shade at any time of day, and dual roof vents help heat escape to keep things breezy beneath the canopy. Whether you’re setting up on soft ground at a state park or sloped pavement at a tailgate, the all-terrain feet help keep your canopy stable and secure.

This canopy also pairs well with our Sun Walls for extra privacy or wind protection, perfect for napping toddlers, or keeping the breeze from blowing chips across the table during a tailgate spread. When it’s time to go, everything folds down and packs into the included wheeled carry bag that’s easy enough to roll back to the car, even with kids in tow. For sports weekends, campsite cookouts, or park days with the grandparents, this is a go-to pick for families who want simple, durable shade without the hassle.

13’ x 13’ Center Push Eaved Canopy

Need a little more elbow room? The 13’ x 13’ Center Push Eaved Canopy adds comfort, coverage, and flexibility to any family gathering. With extended eaves and more square footage than the 10' x 10' model, it’s a great choice for larger families or group get-togethers. Whether you're tailgating with cousins and neighbors or hosting a multi-family dinner at the campsite, there's plenty of space for a table, camp stove, and multiple chairs underneath.

This is the canopy you want when you're hosting your kid’s soccer team after the final game, organizing a family potluck at a festival, or creating a shaded camp where everyone can regroup, rehydrate, and relax. Set it up over your picnic table at camp, or use it as a lounge space for adults while kids play nearby.

CORE’s Center Push system makes setup a breeze, even at full size, and the oversized pinch-free buttons make it easy to adjust height without any awkward finger-pinching moments. Dual roof vents keep airflow moving to reduce heat buildup, and the adjustable feet help you level the canopy on grass, gravel, pavement, or dirt.

6’ x 4’ Instant Canopy with Half Sun Wall

Don’t let the small size fool you. Our 6’ x 4’ Instant Canopy with Half Sun Wall is a compact powerhouse of shade and versatility. Ideal for solo campers and couples, this lightweight canopy sets up in just minutes and offers a surprising amount of protection in a small footprint.

Planning a trip at a small campground? Need a shady spot crowded between other teams at the track meet? This canopy is perfect for that. It’s also great for creating a covered vendor booth at a street fair or covering your food table at a backyard BBQ. The attached half sun wall provides directional shade and wind protection, ideal for early morning sun or when the wind picks up mid-afternoon.

The accordion-style frame and telescoping legs make setup quick and intuitive. And because it folds down small and is lightweight, it’s super easy to pack along with your other gear without adding bulk or weight.

Built for Real Moments

No matter your camping style or tailgating plans, CORE’s lineup of canopy tents offers quick, reliable shelter that’s built for real outdoor moments, big and small. From hosting multi-family game-day spreads to creating a comfortable outdoor classroom for homeschool days, CORE canopies help you focus on what really matters: spending time together.

They’re easy to set up, solidly built, and designed with practical features like vented tops, adjustable legs, and wheeled carry bags, so you can spend less time fiddling with gear and more time making memories. Whether you're cheering from the sidelines, roasting marshmallows, or just hanging out in the yard, CORE has a canopy that fits your family’s lifestyle.
