Upgrading from an EZ-Up to a commercial tent when using Flourish mesh display walls

After using an EZ-Up tent for five years, I bit the bullet and bought a professional tent. I asked the Artfairinsiders.com community for help and Linnea Lahlum recommended a Showoff. She provided lots of helpful points that made me feel comfortable moving forward with the purchase. I practiced setting up the tent at home and discovered I had some problems with my mesh display walls from Flourish.

I use Flourish white mesh walls to hang my artwork. I love how easy the set up is and how light and portable it is compared to the solid panel walls many artists choose. What I didn't anticipate was that the tent is a different size than the EZ-up... it isn't a true 10x10 according to the people at Flourish.com. The legs of the tent and upper tent structure is a different size. I needed to order new bottom support poles and hardware for the base of the tent. The Flourish people also say that I will need to use a rubber mallet to get the top hooks of the walls to fit the new size of the upper structure. They also said I may need to create some kind of extension for the velcro strips on the back wall as it will be wider than my EZ-Up. Not the end of the world, but I was disappointed that I couldn't use my new tent while I wait for my new Flourish supplies. Thought I would share this info in case anyone using EZ-Up and Flourish is ready to graduate to a "big girl tent" as my friend Claudia calls it.
