Car detailing tent

I am looking to do a full detail in a few days and i am looking to buy a tent/gazebo as i dont have a garage

Can anyone recommend a good quality one but cheap? I want one with sides as well but all the ones i've seen are at least £100

Don't forget something heavy to tie it down

This looks to be reasonable

That does look reasonable ish. Do you think a 3m x 3m will give enough shade? And will there be enough room to work around the car?

Well its nose is going to stick out by 4 and a half feet but you will have 4 foot on one side to work on which should be plenty. A 4.5m x 3m is £128.
Pays your money take your choice.

I guess you are going to put a nano sealant on it - why not chose a couple of fine days

I have a 6m x 3m I'm looking to sell.





Comes with sides etc too. Used probably half a dozen times. Down the road from you in Milton Keynes.

That looks very nice. How much you looking for?

I'm not really looking to spend much and was actually giving up on the idea as the decent ones i have seen are too expensive I might just wait for a dull dry day.

sounds good.

What's it like in the wind, any weights needed? And is it quite easy to set up?

Used it once on a field, just peg'd it down which was enough. Otherwise I've never really used weights.

You need 4 people to pull it open, though done it with 2 with a bit of jiggery! Goes up in seconds and down just as quick

Vik, please tell us more about whats parked under the tent, it looks brilliant. Nearly bought one about 10 years ago, similar colour, 2.0 16v but ended up getting a Golf Mk3 2.0 16v GTi, still wish I'd had the Corrado and still want one now.

Sorry for the thread hijack.
