I also Scotchguarded the side panels, and have two of them. They increase the importance of staking the canopy down, but help keep rain and sun from coming in the sides. Stands up in the wind and rain if tied down. Will keep bugs out, but the screening is tight, thats why it gets hot. Biggest takeaway is the tent style shelters are more durable than the popup ones. More expensive, but they also last longer while being more weather-tight.

Those panels are available at Walmart and should fit most 10×10 straight-leg canopies. So if you do use a straight leg canopy, think about adding a panel or two.
But my ozark trail instant canopy is that 12′ canopies are often just too big to set up in some campsites. I have two of the 10×6 panels that clip onto the sides. On trips where sun is really bad, or where there’s a lot of rain I usually try to figure out the most strategic placement for those two sides. They increase windage a lot, though, so in windy weather they make it harder to keep the canopy from blowing away.
It seems there are more accessories available for ozark trail sun shade canopies, but can’t swear to it. Was about to pull the trigger on the Academy canopy but shipping kills the $20 savings. So make sure you can do store pickup to make it worthwhile.
