I need to get a car cover/tent/carport for detailing in the sun. I have read on here before what a couple of you are using, but I can't find that thread anymore. I tried searching, but to no avail. Any suggestions for a sturdy easy-up carport for polishing/waxing outdoors? Thanks for any help!

How long does it take to put up something like a 12x12 tent/cover? Is it easy enough for 1 person to do it by themself?
I bought one a while back from Autozone for $120 with a $20 rebate.. I know its a cheaper brand but out of the many details Ive done I havent had to use it yet. Ive been lucky and all the customers had garages available.
FWIW make sure you get the straight leg 12x12... its a true 12x12 coverage. The slant leg 12x12s are 12x12 at the base footprint, so in reality you end up with a 10x10 shade covering because the legs slant up to the cover.

the 12x12 is hard by myself, much easier with two
i have a straight leg 12x12 i bought from academy with a friends discount for 130 i think. not too difficult to put up by myself just a lot of pulling on one side, then going to the other side and so on and so on. heres a site i found from talking about the same thing a while back, pretty cool but also pretty expensive. maybe one day I'll by one.
