Any Mobile guys out there know of a easy one man setup canopy?

I have no problem setting up a 10'x10' EZ UP myself, however I have found that a bigger tent is really needed... perhaps a 10'x14'.

And if you live in florida don't get a white one.. During love bug season they will swarm you like crazy. For some reason they are drawn to the white and I had to take mine down.. I have a EZ up and I put it up by myself(10x10). But like scrubs said a 10x14 would be nice

i have got 2 9x9 canopy for $50 each from walmart. a little narrow but good enough, of course a bigger one would be nicer.

Ok cool. I'll start looking around. And yes I do live in Florida and love bugs drive me nuts. I have a white suv and as I am washing it they swarm all over it. Lol. Thanks for that advice. I seen Walmart. Where else is a good place to shop for one ?

Coleman 12x12 is what I use. Had a few easy ups, they didn't last through the wind.

Cool @ perfections I like that one. Is it a one man setup?

Yeppers, and I like it better then the 10x10's. Just have to stand it up then walk around it stretching it out, at about mid way stretched out put the top on and then continue to stretch it all the way out.

Sweet. I'm defiantly going to look into that one.

be careful canopy shopping. some advertise the specs at the base, which do not represent the true size of the cover.

example: my 10x10 I use for tailgating (says 10x10 right on the packaging), is technically an 8x8 (only 8 ft square top). So only 64sq ft of shade

recently picked up a quik shade 12x12 that offers 144 sq ft. a 10x14 as mentioned above may be better as a little extra length would help

my 12x12 can be setup with 1 man. its not easy. they recommend 2 man setup. But one very determined man like myself can pull it off with practice. Just had to spend a sweaty 45 mins in my driveway the first day figuring it all out. Now setup and breakdown are pretty quick / painless
