    New Canopy

    What do you guys think about my new 10x20 Canopy? It's a pop up one... It's actually made really well I just don't know if big SUVs or trucks are going to fit under it.

    Looks neat. If it gets the job done, that's all that matters

    Re: New Canopy

    That's a pretty big canopy. Are you able to set it up yourself?

    Or is this for outside of your shop?

    I'm not sure what the clearance of the top is. I have a smaller 10x10 base one of possibly a different brand. Description says the total height of mine is 9.5' tall but it can get a little tight with normal height vans and SUVs. I usually need to move it to one side to give my back some room when using a work platform for the roof.

    Actually now that I think about it, mine has three height setting. Hit my head, just graze it, and the highest gives me a couple inches of head clearance walking under it. I am 6'.

    I've thought about using 4 buckets with lids to raise mine up if needed. You could also fill the buckets and use them as anchors.

    The problem I have with pop ups is, as your picture shows, they often don't shade where the cover is.

    ^Yeap. That and they bulky, awkward, and can't be used if the wind is to strong, but what's the alternative?

    You can buy sides for some of them, but I don't know if they would be in the way. I have side for mine but have never used them. I just move mine around if needed if I can.

    Watch out if it's a windy day... Even one rogue gust of wind can pick that thing up and put it into the vehicle you're working on.
