I had one with the same type of folding metal arms, a strong wind pushed them in an bent them where they crossover and fold, because of the shape of the metal it doesn't have the same strength as a square section I think, but for the price you could buy 3 or 4 against 1 name brand, have a close look at the pictures.

Not the greatest quality but may do the job. Its also worth checking places like Anaconda, Bunnings and Kmart. They can have some good buys. Also be wary of the size when packed, I used a mates 3x3 that is excellent quality but took up heaps of room in the ute.. It was a real pain to transport..

Few of us on here have quickshades from Canopy Outdoor they are a very good shade bit dearer than your probably lookin at but i reckon with that sort of thing you get what you pay for,i had a cheap one to start with and it didn't last too long.

my wife was looking at buying one, for the price i reckon you cant go wrong (maybe) i looked at a simliar design in bcf it was over 300 bucks and then the side walls were extra. if you get one let us know, if i get one i will do the same

I bought one of those very branded Shades.

TNT delivered it with a bent leg and all I had to do was email the mob a pic and they sent out a new leg in like 2 days.

We used it at the last Dirtriderz camp weekend.

It was huge and was suprisingly good. I do use beter tiedowns though and it didnt move or have any issues. The sides a cool too.

For the amount of time that we would use it, I didnt see the point in spend 2 or 3 times as much.

You just have to make sure you ropes are on a fair angle. that helps with them getting pushed in the wind.

thanks for the feedback geoffyboy - great to hear some first hand experience with that partivular model!!!!

I have a 3x3 from anaconda. No sides. But awesome for rain cover and sides are available but cost more. I think it was 200 and tough as nails. Comes down to price i guess.

You will see mine if I camp for more than a night

I have a Gazepro 2.5x2.5 one with all of the sides off ebay ... was $125 delivered. Has been used heaps, not the highest quality but it does the job. With a peg in the ground at each corner it can withstand some decent winds. Pretty easy to set up by yourself. Never get all of the fabric pieces back in the original package though unless you're tricky.

Can't see the ebay link, but if it's the one I'm thinking of, I'd give it 5/10.

I have 2 x Oztrail 2.4 x 2.4 with 4 sides. easy to get up n down, and walls are grouse. i gave up on folding the roof back up into stupid pocket, so use a sack now. Hold up well to winds, camp fire shenanigans etc... so far so good - 7/10!
