 |
|
I received a canopy from Todd's a few weeks ago, and thought I'd say something about it.
It was packed in a very nice cardboard with wooden frame box, and arrived without a scratch. The transport company dropped it off at my Door even though I was warned that they may call me to come pick it up at their station.
The canopy was not rolled like the Zenith original, it is full sized and perfectly molded.
Unlike some suppliers, Todd's was prompt and informative along the way. I never felt like I needed to call to check on status, because he told me when it would be ready, and shipped, and it was...
It even came with a nice hat.
Highly recommended!

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> Glad you had a good experience with Todd's. I've bought two canopies from him (don't ask me why) and both were on time. So far the hat is the only thing I haven't screwed up.

Hi Jon
Thanks for posting this info.
Could you say what size the box for shipping was as if it is a reasonable
size may ask them to send one to me over the pond.
Best wishes

Question: you state that the canopy was not rolled like
the Zenith one, is there a reason for this ? Is Todd's
canopy made from thicker material than the Zenith one?

Todd told me it was thicker and less likely to crack. He also has the thinner plastic that matches the Zenith offering, and can mold the canopy either way. I cannot remember the weight difference, but it was something like 3 pounds.
I'd check with him to make sure.

When I called Todd several months ago, he explained that it was much
heavier/stiffer material than the ZAC canopy and not conducive to rolling.
I've since missplaced my notes from the discussion but he said it was
heavier than the ZAC canopy - can't remember by how much - could have been
about 2 pounds, but might have been as much as 6 pounds. Can't recall
thickness either. Price, tinted, was $340 + freight.
