I'll tell you this Davy, the length of time required to set this up is directly tied to the temperature. 90* outside, five minutes. 115*, two minutes. LOL I really wanted to set up both today, but I only have one ready to set up quickly. The other one I would have had to take out of the bag, install the canopy and then same thing when I put it away. I didn't have the energy.

Well Sudsy I received my 10 x 15 yesterday when I got home from work and I had to set it up. It was 95 degrees with 90 % humidity and my initial attempt was quite eventful. My glasses kept getting covered in sweat and I had to stop and clean them. Then I couldn't read the convoluted instructions. It took a little while but I finally figured it out. You have to push the poles apart while walking at the same time. It's a good thing that I wasn't chewing gum at the same time. I am looking forward to working in the shade tomorrow.
Was that 115 degrees with humidity?

The 10 x 15 Caravan Canopy Titanshade served me well today. Once I got the hang of it, it was easy to install and disassemble by myself. The truck and SUV fit quite well. It was a pleasure to work in the shade. I will invest in some more foot weights.

The easiest way I've found to do it by myself is to grab one of the poles, lift the whole thing off the ground except the leg opposite the one you're holding and walk away from the middle while using your other hand to push the cross frame up into the lock. Once you get one, you're pretty much done.

No, it's a dry heat. LOL It was actually 118 when I finished my last job yesterday. It's raining today, 86 with 30% humidity. It got to 100 pretty quickly this morning and then the clouds rolled in. Supposed to be back into the low 90s the next week or so, that's our typical early July weather.
