My dude! Just use that black Gorilla tape on the slip joints... problem solved! Assemble the roof frame, tape up the slip joints before proceeding... keep it simple, brother!

Video was awesome and very helpful...have same garage without the directions so thanks for being so detailed in putting it up

Hey can you put this on BARE ground? I have to BUY more stuff? wow mannn! Buy plywood? I plan on just having the whole thing on bare ground and probably put like tarp or something below each pole leg .. Do I NEED self tapping screws? Mandatory? or can I just get by using teflon tape? clear teflon tape.

Mans fast forwards on the parts we needed the most smh, it was helpful though

Was considering getting this item and came across your video. Great vid, btw, really helpful. I would be setting mine up on concrete, however, and have been looking at weight options. My research online so far suggests 80 lbs per corner for 10x20 tent. How has your tent been holding up with your DIY improvements? How did you determine how much weight to add to anchor your tent?

I had one but it could not handle high wens

Hows it holding up over a year later?

My man! Do you know if 2002-2007 chevy express van rear seats will mount up in the older G series vans?

Hey bro I just saw you at jets pizza lol I like your van

Please provide the item # or model number of your car cover please..

You did a good job on your canopy.

Instead of using the wood like a sill plate, I used like a head to add more structure. I used something like 3" or longer deck screws to screw into the wood where there were holes in the pipe. I did cut sill plate pieces for the end base and flange pieces so those could be screwed into those plates. Then I hole sawed in the sill plate pieces so I could drive ~3-4ft lengths of like pin footing pins at maybe a 35-40 degree angle so like bipod or tripods to help hold the whole thing down.

I just got one thanks for the tips how many 2×8s you need?
