Portable Tents?

What size & brand tents any of you mobile guys are using?
I went out yesterday for the first time & i couldn't find anywhere to setup due to the lack of shade. I was looking for trees all over the area to setup but realize i need a tent.

I would think 10x20 would be the smallest you would want.

Yeah,the 10x10 was waaay out of the question. I saw a few @ the local Pep Boys but they where too heavy. Im not tryn to set up a house,i need something(blue) lightweight & sturdy.

My 12x12 is a little to short. I have to attach tarps and tie them off to add on to it. A 12x15 would have done it.

I got mine at Sports Authority along with the weights to hold it down on concrete for less than 100.00 total. I do believe its 12x12 but could go a little longer if had to choose again.

I found a link to this some where online. I think it was Autopia.org. There was a review on it I think. I'd love to pick one up.

This is a 10x15 but they also sell 10x20s too.

The best shelter that I ever saw was 20X20 foot. That way the car could be in the middle of the shade and stay in the shade all day. Yes, it was very expensive and built to last a lifetime. I saw it on the salt flats at Bonneville about twenty years ago and the same family it still using it today. They stake it into the ground with 8 - three foot long screws. Even in 60 mph gusts it doesn't pull out.
