    Pop Up Shade

    Hey gang,

    Hope everyone's week has gotten off to a great start! I've a quick quandary I thought I'd throw out there to see if anyone has any wisdom for me. I'm a mobile guy and being down here in the "Valley of the Sun" things are starting to heat up. It is brutal detailing in the full sun in Phoenix and I'm looking at getting a pop up awning but wanted to see if any of you have gone that route and what your experiences or recommendations might be?

    I appreciate any feedback.

    Cheers!!

    I use a 12x12 EZUp with the angled legs. I'm glad I have it. Setting up isn't always easy, depending on the space/location, but I've made it work.

    I'll move it around, angle it, whatever, to keep shade on me.

    You can get pop-ups with sides. Not only that, but why stop there? Pay someone to sew cut outs into each side and get an exterior venting air conditioner. Have that thing blowing on you while you work. Life doesn't have to be so hard.

    Haha better yet, I should get someone to fan me with a large leaf and feed me grapes while I sit on an extra cushioned shop chair and take my time while polishing a BMW M5.

    I know a guy down the road that'll do that for you.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.
