Windshield Repair Forum

So its tent time! Needless to say theres a bunch of options when choosing one.

I figured I would turn to you guys for some advice.

10X10 or 12X12?
100% UV protected?

I know you get what you pay for and I do want it to last, so what would you guys, that have been there done that recommend?

They charge more for the UV fantasy reflected UV isnt affected obviosly the uv protected one is worthless to most. The size question is simple if you are setting a tent location get a bigger one .If you are using it for shade while mobile get the smaller easier to set and anchor one

If you are using it on a daily basis, you want a durable heavy duty tent(I think mine 10 x 10 was $650 from ez-up). I tried a lighter duty tent and it broke within a month. I usually set-up 200+ times /year---usually last 3 years before replacement.

Is that a typo on the price?

I just bought a Quick Shade Commercial 10X10 at Big 5 for about 150.00 with a heavy duty cover. Thicker frame from what I saw from ez-up... I have not used it YET for a location set up, I will use it at a car show and at a site needed later for multiples jobs at one site.

Just my two cents.

Thanks for the feedback. Im thinking for a site set up not just shade for each job. So Im leaning towards a 10x10.

Durability is a concern. Ill check out the Big 5 tent, because $650 is a bit out of my buget right now. Possiblr upgrade in the future though.

Mahalo!

No typo, they are expensive but very durable.

Quikshade are pricey here too!

I got a quote last week, for a 3 x 3...

I do not even see that one listed in the states (qs1005) not sure what the equivalence is?.... Is our exportation tax jacking it up?

Hi,

Nope - They are made here - I visited the factory this week to check out quality.

I must say, they are extremely well made, staff were very nice - but maybe a little to heavy duty for what I need.

Cheers,
