Sorry couldn't help myself...visions of growing up in the early 70's.

You must have a canopy in order to do good work.
On a hot day the paint can reach temperatures of 180 degrees.
Guys who don't use them are just car washers in my book.
My area is saturated with "car washers". I need to separate myself from them.
Looking professional is extremely important to high end clients.
My customers always say "Wow, I hired the right guy" because of my set up.

I doubt if you could get a stock F250 4x4 under those. They're way taller than that Flex. F350 4x4 will even be taller.
That van in the above picture looks like a 1/2 ton van too, but it's a bit hard to tell since I can't expand the picture enough to see the lug nuts.
I love both of those set-ups and they certainly do look professional, but if I was going to buy a set-up like that for around here I would need to be able to get 3/4ton-to-1ton trucks underneath them...and they don't appear to be high enough in those pictures.

I purchased the Ironton 10x10 canopy from Northern Tool for $70; I cannot get my F150 4x4 under the canopy (misses by ~6 inches). I can get my Ranger, Edge, Passat, Accord under the tent.
Thank you for that information. :xyxthumbs:

These no pies are 11.5' in height ....
Already answered a similar question in another thread.

No pies...huh?
I'm glad you mentioned they go that high because that helps those looking know that taller tents are available, but those can't be set to 11.5' in the above pictures...which is what I was going judging by. It doesn't appear to have enough distance between the top of that Flex and those cross members to even get my dad's new F150 4x4 under there.
I still don't trust those weights. Maybe it's just me.
My uncle has a tent that he uses outside his shop that is 12x12 and instead of weights he started using large Tapcons screwed into the concrete (something that should never been done on a customers driveway) and he used nylon rope to tie the tent down. His tent has tons more bracing that those eze-up types and is made of steel, rather than aluminum, and is bolted together...and while it has never blown over the top fabric has been blown off many tops and had to be replaced.
But that's a different scenario as his tent is up all the time and never taken down.
With these 'working tents' you have to check the weather and use a little common sense.
