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

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

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

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
