I found using long Lag Bolts/screws work great with my cordless drill to stake into the ground. I just screw them in where I want them. No pounding and great holding power. If it’s really windy my shelter legs have two holes so I can use two screws per leg. And… you just reverse your drill to take them out.

Nice tip. They also furnished guyline rope for windy weather.

I knew after using Tre's at trail days, it wouldn't be long before you have one. It's going to be perfect for your truck camping. 👍👍

I love a good canopy, especially in the summertime. Great piece of gear for car camping 👍🏻👍🏻

Couldn't agree more! This 8x8 was much easier to handle than the 10x10.

A neat shader John. There's nothing worse than having a super hot sun blaze down on you when you want to kick back. It should do the job nicely. I hope you're well over there. Mark

All is well, Mark. It's just a little too hot.
