What are the brand names of the waterproofing products for EZ-UPs

So far I have only found one on the net

It is the Granger silicone-based water repellent treatment.

You had your BBCode disabled in your post.

I've got a 10 x 10 ez-up style awning. It did fine in the rain and didn't leak. But the problem is that water seems to puddle along each of the four sides. You have to lift the canvas to get the puddle to run off. If you don't stand back while doing this, your shoes get wet. Seems to me someone posted a thread where they installed grommets around the perimeter of their canopy and then used clear hoses poked through those grommets to steer the water away just like a rain gutter on a house. Somebody may still have that link. It seemed like an interesting solution. Just the grommets alone may solve the puddle problem. It will drip at the grommets, but at least water won't collect and bow the canvas down.
