Ordered 10x20 canopy to cover slab until construction resumes, possibly in a month or more. Not good to have relatively new slab drying in hot summer sun. 10x20 won't cover entire slab, but most of it. Found a really good deal at Academy online, $99 plus shipping and tax, came to about $140. Not sure what to do about center poles, they will need to rest on slab itself. Actually, I'm hoping to assemble the entire thing w/o poles, just rest on slab itself or slightly elevated
Coleman has a 12x12 for $200 but that's deceptive. It's really is a 10x10 with overhang.
Larger canopies like 18x20 start around $400 (and go up to $3000), and then they tack on $200 or more shipping because they require freight. Or ebay sellers make deals at $200 plus $100 shipping but don't include poles, you have to buy long poles at local store and then somehow get them home. At big Academy store, they had entire row of nothing but 10x10 for $49, different brands.
I was looking for 15x15, very hard to find, and in the high priced plus high price freight category also. 10x20 is cheap because it's kinda like a pair of 10x10's.

Ordered newest Swann video surveilance system, includes mobile phone access, supports up to 8 cameras (includes 4 day/night cameras having 65 foot range at night with IR LED's). Actually I plan to get more powerful camera for most critical spot. Most such systems for sale now are older models, sometimes w/o mobile phone access. But I went straight to Swann website to see what their newest models actually are, then ordered that exact model through Amazon (actually fufilled by Beach Camera). Last year's model was about the same but came with 50 foot range cameras.
Update: After a week, and no explanation, Beach Camera canceled order, so I then ordered through another Amazon seller, who delivered fast. I also ordered (and have received) 100 foot fire rated cables. I figured my electrician might not want to install anything less.

It sounds like this canopy could be used later to shade your car in the driveway. Will your neighborhood rules allow that? Or I might consider buying it from you if you decide to sell it. We aren't able to park either one of our vehicles in the garage right now because we have the golf cart parked in the only cleared slot.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I plan to get a commercial grade coated steel carport cover soon that would be more suited to permanent installation. The canopy wouldn't work for me as my driveway needs roughly a 20x20 covering, not 10x20 with poles in the middle. I was thinking of keeping the canopy for future party use. And where else better to store it than in the shed itself. But might also be willing to sell.
