RE: Great Looking canopy at Wal-Mart

[startx]

 
Our Wal-Mart has a sale on these great looking canopies in the garden section.  They are a nice tan colored top, with painted poles, and are probably a 10x14 size.  They have a decorative look with " scalloped"  edges on the overhang, trimmed in dark brown.  So they are a full top, that hangs over the edges, and here is the kicker, it comes with matching panels, that slide like curtains on an extra bar under the decorative edges.  The whole thing is like $79, they are marked down from the original price of like $125.
 
 I saw someone had purchased one on my way to work, and had staked it out in their driveway for a carport.  Had an SUV sitting under it in the shade from the texas sun.

They just marked it down to $59 now.  This is a really good price for a table cover that most likely won t be like your neighbors, and can be fully enclosed with the privacy panels included.

Our local Wallyworld didn t have that one, but in the camping section I got a very nice screen house for $49 that, while it doesn t have the privacy panels, it would be very easy to add just about any kind of tarp, canvas or panel you want and it would slide along the inside rail as well.   In fact, I m thinking about looking for some dark colored king sized flat sheets at someplace like Big Lots or General Dollar, and just using the top end of the sheet for the rod pocket, and maybe just attach some kind of cording for a tie down.   or maybe some dark shower curtains with the wire shower curtain hooks.
   What I m thinking about is, that sometimes we travel without our popup (I know, I know, what are we thinking?!)  We have a conversion van, and it s just the two of us.  We have camped in our mini van before by taking out the seats and putting in a mattress, but this one has a foldown bed.   The screen tent is 12 x 14, and has door openings in all four sides.  we could camp in the van, setting the screen tent so that the van could pull up next to it and the side doors open into it.  Well, it s a thought.
