LOL.... Lets put it this way, do not try to expect a rush job in making this 10x20. I will require at least two people to put it together. I will take over 30 minutes to put it together IF you have everything in line.

I will take a picture of it tomorrow. I'm missing two things for it though. Last night, we had some heavy rain and powerful winds and it did not knock it over. Good thing it didn't since my dads new 2010 Ford Fusion was parked underneath it. LOL

 

[donavin629]

yeah see.. i bought one too.. took me about that long to set up too.. thats unacceptable in my eyes.. my set up time already takes a bit..lol

Here are pictures of the 10x20 canopy I have. This canopy will not go places. It will remain here at the house. Im the MAN:welcome:icture:

Don't you still have the issue of the sun hitting your car based upon how high or low it is that day? I would assume a canopy where the sides have fabric also would be the best so you wouldn't have to keep adjusting where the car sits inside the canopy. I know BBQ people, in competitions, use one that can have all 4 sides enclosed, if needed.

Yes. Extentions are available. Also, I can pull the vehicle into the garage if needed.

finally got a chance to try out my canopy
for those that dont know its a First UP 10X10 pop up canopy
instructions say you need 2 people to set it up but i found it easy enough to set it up by myself as long as you can 1 of the legs to catch a lip somewhere and keep from moving and by pulling and pushing in key place. but totally doable by yourself, even the fabric top as before you extend the legs its only about 4 feet or so off the ground. just stand in the middle and through the fabric over the center and work your way out

it has decent coverage but i wish it was about 5feet longer
there was still a great deal of sun hitting MY car and i will just guess it will be worse for those with full size cars and suvs

most likely i will still continue to use it despite its full car coverage, some coverage is still better than none!
will also try next time to see if moving it around different ways will get me better coverage and still need to order the walls to see if that helps as well

will be great for camping though especially with the screen walls
so it will def get its share of use either way
some pics to show coverage

also got to play with 2 of my bday presents
the pressure was bought by my gf as per her instructions, lol
and i bought the foam lance

 

[SRHTX]

Where did you get it from? Tomorrow, I will place the 2nd one I bought up and see how it goes.

if you check out the first page RWISEJR posted a link to it at walmart
i picked it up for $88
its no longer available online but i just called a couple of stores til i found one with them, they seemed to be a rather hot item on memorial day and i saw a few people picking them up as well
if the one you posted from target has the optional side to buy that may be an even better bargain than the one i got from walmart

Uh, you need to come and visit Deep South Texas. Since we are right next door to Mexico, nothing is ever done right. The Valley is about 15 years behind everything in the US. Many of us call this place, "Land of Manana (tomorrow)". A vast amount of people do not know how to drive. Speed limit? What's that? ugh

btw - I made that canopy, the I bought at Target for $45.00, up and will take a picture of it tomorrow or Tuesday. I will be nice having it up since it's already 100 outside with PLENTY of HUMIDITY. Get ready to sweat. You will. LOL

ugh tell me about it, its a never ending battle to which im slowly losing
which is yet another reason i need to move onto the island, parking is a little bit better. i go out of my way to find those 2 car parking spots on the street and leave my nose as the exposed end, least i have the license plate frame to act as a buffer from retards. for a quick minute i thought about relocating the front plate but the very next day an idiot with a tow hitch backed right into the plate and put a knot in it. that quickly answered my question about relocating the plate

[lowdown89]

Buy it quickly. A 10x10 is not long enough. The one I bought will not fit many SUVs under it and full size trucks are a no way on earth. LOL

I will post a pic of it this afternoon. I will have my Mazda 3s GT Hatchback under it.

 

[SRHTX]

Well,

Here is a quick pic of the 10'6" x 10'6" canopy with a Ford Explorer. This canopy is very easy to put up. One person can do it alone. Having a 2nd person makes putting it up go much quicker. Putting it up alone takes less than 30 minutes. After I wash my Mazda, I will post a picture of it on here this afternoon.

Here is a picture of mu 10' x 20' Canopy with a clients Jaguar XJS Convertable. Putting THIS CANOPY up does require two people to do it. Having two people pop it up will take atleast 30 minutes or more.

10x10 Canopy

Okay,

Here is my lil Mazda 3s under my 10x10 canopy. Good thing I have my canopy right behind the garage. I can drive it into the garage in order to keep the whole car covered.

be careful with those slant legged ones
alot of times they advertise the width as the dimension between the legs and the actual canopy will be much smaller
