Canopy for shade
I was thinking of getting a canopy for shade when I am detailing my car/bike in the driveway. I am thinking of one of those easy up types that folds up
My question is what brand and what size. I currently have a Ford Focus which is about 15 feet long. Also are certain colors better?

Re: Canopy for shade
I just ordered the Ozark Trail one from Walmart after looking for a long time, it's a 10x10, which seems to work well for most, you either have to clamp a tarp to the "sun" side or move it. It's $90 shipped. There are nicer ones (search), but $500+. Some us a 10x15 or 10x20, but this seems a good size. Make sure you look at the coverage, not the size, some list the bottom size, and there's a big difference.

Re: Canopy for shade
Will probably be getting one once Spring arrives (warmer weather) Harbor Freight has a slant leg 10x10 blue top for $66. There are discount coupon codes usually available online.
Don't know which colors are better, lighter or darker??

Thank you for the reply, good to know a 10x10 would work, I was thinking you needed 10x20. If you strategically place it should work. I was at Northern Tool and they have a 12x12 which I am leaning towards. I am curious as to what others are using. If you get any bigger than the 12x12 you get an extra pair of legs which limits the ability to straddle the car.
This would allow me to detail earlier in the day. My driveway doesn't get shade till after 3pm.
