    For Those That Use Canopy's

    I was thinking about getting a canopy for my side detailing business. Those that are using canopy's what are you using and where is a good place to get one from? I searched and found a previous thread where several have mentioned E-Z Up canopy's. Amazon has some fairly cheap. I saw some in Sports Authority today. Let me know your suggestions.

    I recommend 1 12x15 or 2 10x12's or 2 8x12's.

    I have 1 12x12 and there's always 3 ft hanging out in the back.

    I got my 12x12 at sports authority for 200$ (steel). Keep in mind depending on design larger than 12x12 can be difficult for one man to erect.

    My 10X10 really isn't big enough, most of the day the sun isn't directly overhead so most of the shade is off to the side. I bought it for some shade while at ATV parks but have used it in my driveway to polish my Dad's car but I had to keep adjusting the car.

    i have a shadetech 10x15 and its 2ft short for my 07 Tahoe but better than being 7' short on my previous 10x10
    go for it man, they are def worth it .. keep in mind that depending on where you start you could get some exposure of sun on the side or front/back ... I just reposition or move the car to the other side

    Re: For Those That Use Canopy's

    How tall is the main question for me.. I have a 10x10 that is probably 9ft high on the sides, and maybe 12ft tall in the center. I want a 12x12, but it seems every one is like 7ft tall on the sides which isn't high enough for some trucks and suvs. Anyone have an idea of where I can pick one up like 12x12x10-12? The one I'm using will work for now, but I'd prefer even more shade if possible. Thanks!

    Re: For Those That Use Canopy's

    I recently purchased an "Undercover" 10x20 all aluminum canopy which I highly recommend. For the longest time I had been using those inexpesive EZUP's from the sporting good shops that just did not give me enough shade. So I started doing some checking around and online I found this awesome unit which came with a rolling bag as well. It also came with a mfg 5 year warranty, EZUP only came with a 1 year warranty. Even though its large, and it sets up at almost 12ft high... no more buttons to push and pinched fingers, this units has some unique levers for adjustments, one person can easily put this up and take it down, weighs in at about 70lbs.....all this for under $450.00

    Unless you only work on Smart cars and Mini's the 10x10 is useless. As the others have all said bigger is better and too big is just right.
