Harbor Freight CoverPro 10 x 10 Heavy Duty Canopy Straight Legs Unboxing One Person Set Up

[@phyllismattzmom1147]

I must admit giggling through the whole video. I see myself (in this video) always having to do things on my own and struggling through it. Thank you so much for not editing out the struggles. I feel normal now...God Bless

[@billstools5244]

why hide the struggle. We all go through it. Someone who never struggles isn't normal. More an exception

[@usatravler1]

I just picked up one today and so glad I watched this first. Think I'm gonna call my brother for help. Great job Bill.

[@jamesclark6142]

Thanks you! I appreciated the real time set up... 11 minutes 28 seconds from box to completed.

[@billstools5244]

Once set up it gets easier. Just open to move legs out and lift from center. Pops right into place.

[@pilotnelson4507]

one-person trick: attach a strap/rope, string of banana peels or whatever to one leg and secure that leg to a solid support (bumper, tree, your stoned buddy) and then pull the opposite leg. Jiggle as you pull as it helps the hinges open up. Easy-peasy on hard surface, a bit tougher on grass. Also, to aid in wind support, lower the unit down on two legs at the windward side, or bring all legs down to shortest level (like you're storing it). That takes the wobbly out of the legs. We use these all the time at race tracks. You get good at not having them blow around the pits... or worse yet, onto to the race track during a race... That's kinda embarrassing. Use dry silicone lubricant to keep the hinges fresh and smooth. Don't use anything that collects dirt. The nylon/plastic parts will absorb the silicone. So, let it dry for a bit before you try to move the joints. Believe it or not, Ripply, the parts actually swell up for a bit when they absorb the silicone. Use Camp Dry, or other silicone based treatment on the top to help shed water off (slippery) that can help it from pooling water. In heavy rains, lower two legs to shed off the water... If you really want to strengthen it up, criss-cross ratchet straps between all legs in an x-brace fashion.. not too tight or you'll bend a pole. That's how super structures are held together.... Use screw anchors, like for the dog, to hold down the corners in softer ground. The stakes pull right out. On Asphalt or concrete, old bar weights (that your brother doesn't use anymore) can loop through straps and up to the top of the legs... Or say f--k it and just go fishing... Hope these ideas help.

Good video. Glad to know I’m not the only one doing a one person set up. Just picked one up today. $49.99 on sale. Found a online coupon.

[@whocarez0123]

They are $159, so you got a crazy deal!

[@mikerehkop3520]

This canopy sets up in under 2 minutes brand new out of the box. Stand up the canopy remove any and all ties, etc that hold the canopy in the closed position like in this video he removes the ribbon. Then you begin to open the canopy by taking one of the corner legs at a time and begin to walk away from the assembly while holding the leg. Do this at each leg until the canopy opens. Then install the canopy top using the Velcro attached to the top. Install at the 4 corners. Then raise each leg one by one until you achieve desired height. Then use the tie down straps and ground pins to give additional security to canopy so it will not move under higher winds. If a good guys of wind cones and you don't have it secured to the ground it can and will take to the air and can travel some distance with the right gusts. . Once the top is installed you don't have to remove it too collapse canopy. Simply unstrap the Velcro straps on the scissored arms. Then drop the ball from it's catch I. The leg up top at each corner. This allows you to begin to push the canopy together. Then you can turn it upside down and reduce the legs by pushing the ball lock mechanism

[@kismofer1]

we'll....im planing to get one this weekend for the lake....but i might need 5 people to help me out. thanks for this video..👍

[@nyernga]

Picked mine up 2 hours ago.......had to call in my brother to help stretch the frame. Mine also had different setup for the corner velcros......

[@bobbouchee1452]

take some cinder blocks with string and set em on each corner maybe run some zipties through the corners of fabric have a permanent structure

[@duckyHsGaming]

Thanks for showing us. Ignore all the trolls. There's a lot on here for no reason just to give two cents or talk shit, on an unboxing and set up canopy video...what is wrong with people.

[@LivingMyBestLifeOn1500]

I love this! Totally realistic! This will be me! lol Minus the butt crack. HOPEFULLY. LMAO

[@cpcourtney6570]

Since you have had this canopy for about 3 months, what is your opinion of the quality and durability? Thanks for the video and your response.

[@billstools5244]

I like this canapy if I don’t have to move it around often. It has some weight to it. My last one was light. Yet this has steel legs and my older model had aluminum frame. It’s easy to set up. The trick is to open skittle then get under the center and push the center part up and canopy spreads right open. It’s been on my deck most this summer. Just bought new home right before corona screwed things up. Yet it has held up good and taken some abuse from wind. I did take it down before isaias hit. Or it would of been toast.

[@guyschwartz1510]

how about a follow up video showing how to fold the fabric back into that nice small bundle that came out of the box

[@billstools5244]

Once I attach a canopy cover to frame it stays on. I just pull the case right over and zip it up

[@mikefox5853]

Bless your heart

[@cindyrider2006]

What you just showed me is that there is no way I can do this by myself. I don't know where they get the "pop" in Pop-up.

[@theaarruda9860]

I bought one, and TRSUT ME, if I can put it up myself, so can you. I have 2 left hands and cannot follow instructions EVER!! Always have somehow extra parts that goes nowhere (according to me, they gave me extras, just incase lol). It’s not that hard, the only thing I struggled a little bit with, was to straighten the legs to the highest point, otherwise will give it a 4 1/2 ****

[@billstools5244]

This was first time taking out of box and opening this style canopy. It’s really easy once you realize you just go to center and push up. For the legs since I am 6’2, 6’4 with boots. I usually let the legs open one lock before opening the umbrella

[@dasboot360]

How much does this tent usually cost? Thx

[@kevinrowe3272]

$150+ sales tax

[@bobbouchee1452]

60$ at my harbor freight weird crazy how 3 years later the price drops that much

Im definitely buying one but need help

[@billstools5244]

It gets easier after a few times setting up. just open alittle, go under center and push up.

[@cardo1111]

Good real-world vid. thanks for posting it 👍🏽 Seems pretty good for the price, however a little bigger and more time consuming to assemble than what I was looking for.

[@billstools5244]

assembly time was cut in half after a few uses. For a good dry workspace, its the right size for me.

[@5325jslenk]

Why do I hear Benny Hill music watching this?

[@marco785]

Anybody else wondering is it supposed to be that much tension on that middle point?

[@signptr]

If you had two people on opposite corners to pull, it would be much easier. From experience

[@mikerehkop3520]

Had one of these for the last 14 years. First time I set it up it took a whooping 4 minutes and no need for another person. You grab one leg and give it a slight yank and the entire assembly begins to open .

[@jeffcoolhd]

Hacker I like that canopy I need to get me one. Peace brother

[@captainjayc9217]

This canopy is not durable. The joint where the two white metal bars criss crossed is a weak point. That is where the metal bar can bend and broken in half. The hole in the while metal bar right at where the joint is probably weakens that area. To make it last a bit long, we need FOUR persons to open the canopy (one at each corner) in order to open it evenly, and open it very carefully. And try not to use it in high wind. The high wind not only can lift the canopy up, but also can blow the canopy out of shape (that may also weaken the aforementioned joint).

[@billstools5244]

One person can easily open it up if tall and strong enough. I extend the legs one opening. Open canapy very little. Then I go directly under and push up on the center middle piece. The canopy opens right up. The material has some minor tears. It’s been used as a patio umbrella most this summer. I am surprised it survived many windy days. I took it down before isaias hit. Good thing most my area has no power from trees being blown over

[@captainjayc9217]

@@billstools5244 Seem like yours is a bit different from mine because you have a center support rods. That "may" have made the difference. But you still need to be careful; but force it.

[@chinojarjos]

@@captainjayc9217 there is a cheaper version and a heavy duty version with straight legs. You want the heavy duty one it is just very heavy tho...

[@captainjayc9217]

@@chinojarjos Thanks for pointing this out. This is OK to be heavy for my kind of use (around my property).

how tall is it in the bag?

I would say 6ft and few inches. U’n 6ft 7”. so little shorter than me

There used to be a saying. Put your buggy before the horse 😆 This is what they meant

[@MichaelJones-xp8kf]

Look like a pain to set up.

Well thats one way of doing it. :-D I took erect tents and gazebos by myself. It just takes a bit more finagaling but then it's all good.

Hope your better at putting down flooring

[@billstools5244]

Never put down flooring. Yet this was easier the next time setting up. This wasn’t staged. I have one shot for a filming or I am acting not showing what many might encounter first time opening a product

@@eazhar did you actually watch the video? If you did and still ask that question then there is no helping you. It’s as obvious as the sun or moon that he knew nothing about the product but still did a review

[@billstools5244]

This held up open on my deck all summer. Until a out of nowhere downpour slammed too much water weight on it. This thing is made better than the one I bought this summer from Home Depot

[@mikerehkop3520]

I had my first 10x 10 slat leg canopy for 8 years. The only thing I did was bought a better canopy top. The legs finally gave out during one of the worst storms of last 20 years. The one time I didn't strap down the legs. I have two currently. One is 6 years old, the other 3.5 years old. I'm buying another today. If you treat them with a bit of care they will last you a decent amount of time for the price.

Extreme XL 1/2 inch impact out performs Snap On and Matco brand 1/2" impact. Costs far less.
