canopies

they are good i have two of them ..ok three ...I use them for big shows and my Caddy sits under one....

that's a good price together...I wonder how thick the legs are?

also I saw one at costco that was arced which allows snow to fall off...

there is also a better version with a better warranty at the BJ's near me for about $300 and made for all seasons....
 
I just ordered a 10x10 EZ up from harbor frieght tools today, $109 free shipping. It's not on the web site, I saw it in one of their catalogs. It's the Escort model so $109 is the going price on other web sites but not w/free shipping. One seller on eBay was charging $94 shipping for a $149 dome Ex up.

Jim is this the one with 4 slopes or two?

I got a 2 slope one from Wally World for $67 a few months ago

not like my other 4 pop-ups:D
 
I would love to get one of those for the driveway So I can work in the shade to wash cause I usally park in the garage for detailing anyways.

Neighbors would think im crazy even though they already think that when they see me washing alot.
 
Wallyworld huh. Instant delivery...Didn have to wait for a slow movin truck huh. $67 huh. I think I don wanna talk abou it. :(
 
Jim don't feel bad ,,, not all Waly Worlds carry them...and it was also one of those roll back days for them...I think they were originally like $87...but i always need new and more tents:D
 
You always need more tents? What's up with that? How can one guy need more than one tent?
 
Jim I usually do shows all summer some big some small...small ones I open two pop-ups....medium show 2-3 depending on space....then for big shows either one 10 x 20 and two pop-ups or four pop-ups:D always keep my options open;)

The Canopy from BJ's is very sturdy. I do not own one, but spent a lot of leaning on or standing next to one, when I worked @ BJ's. The poles are higher guage and viynl roof is heavier (thicker material). Rememer you get what you pay for. The Wal-Mart tents look a little weak, for full time use.

My thought on canopies

This week I was detailing in a very exclusive neiborhood in 95 degree heat. Canopy was in full effect as I was buffing out an 02 S500. I heard a sweet sound of a 2000 Porsche 911 pass by as I took a second to look, the car stopped and proceded to back up. Driver drove up and asked for my card. I will be detailing his Porsche and his F150 Lightning on Thurs. of next week... The canopy yells out " WHAT IS GOING ON OVER THERE" !!! This incident is not the first or the last customer lured in by the EZ-UP !!!
Well worth investment !!! And is it absolutely necessary when detailing in the summer !!! Just my $.02...
 
Frozen..

Cheap fix ... I have (4) patio furniture umbrella weight used to secure the canopy. Works like a charm !!!
 
most BJ's, costco's , Sam's club etc...carry it or a similar version

going directly to the company is very expensive...

on my big 10 x 20 during heavy storms or winter blizzards I tie it down to the Caddy...if it can pick up a 3 ton car then so be it
and I also use a big broom to get snow off
