My buddy has a mobile glass business and used one until the wind got ahold of it one day, and drug it across a brand new car at the dealership he was working at. If you get one, anchor it well.

Look for the Quik Shade canopies.

Which model is that? Could one person set it up?

They actually start @ $159+

Quik Shade Weekender Elite Instant Canopy (12' x 12')

Weekender Elite

I set these up myself and it literally takes 7 minutes not including attaching the weights.

I've got a 10x10 canopy I think it's an EZ Up (not sure) and it's a bit of a struggle for 2 people, but, definitely takes 2. I'd love one that I could setup and take down by myself. My HOA would never let me leave it up, which I understand, but no way is it a one person operation. I cannot imagine how one person could set any of these up.

I'm guessing your canopy must be a steel frame then? These aluminum frame canopies are very easy to setup and tear down.

Absolutely.
Best money you'll ever spend and the easiest way to stay out of the sun.

I like the looks of the canopy material on that Quick Shade, TFTA. I've been thinking of getting one too and somewhere between $100-$200. I was thinking of McGyvering some anchors with some canvas bags i have filled with sand and velcro'ed to the anchor posts. I'm scared of the wind taking one on a little scratch excursion!
