Thread: Sun Shades

Tweet

We are looking at sun shade canopies, and the only one I can find that retracts into a small enough package to fit my '33 trunk is the Bravo Ultra Compact Canopy which is 38" long. Does anyone have experience with this cover, or know of a better one if it is not good quality? http://www.amazon.com/Bravo-Sports-C.../dp/B003CRIIQQ

a friend of mine has a couple of folding chairs with canopies----they fit in the trunk of his cobra

finding one small enuff to fit in some of the Classics is quite the challenge - - - - - sounds like good enuff quality to me, if you take care of it and don't put it up wet or anything like that - - - just remember "If is doesn't fit, you must acquit!"

Don`t forget to tie it down when up, saw one take off at Tahoe one year, went over one row of cars, luckily it landed without hitting anyone or their cars,,,,

Yep, I've seen some weights that fit at the bottom of the legs, look like the plastic barbell weights with a special center; and saw one guy that had some type of bladders that he filled with water and tied to the structure. They will definitely take off in the wind.

Isn't that what the Beer cooler is for?
Just kidding, Merry Christmas !

Be really careful with tie downs in a public area. I tripped over one on a gloomy day at York a few years ago and broke a bone in my foot, one in my hand and gouged up my face. I used to ski a lot, but never fell that hard. The rest of the weekend - went great but a lot more slowly

Dave,
I don't think tent type tie-downs have any place in a car show venue. I will be using some type of weights on the legs, either hanging down from above or fitted at the bottom. The guy that had the tie downs is lucky he did not pay for a trip to the emergency room or worse.

i had one of those canopies.it had holes in the feet for some drive in stakes.worked out purdy good.
