I am showing this weekend at a AKC Rally trail, three days, our first real show. I am already nervous and to top it off it's outdoors and the forecast is for rain !!!! Does anyone here use those pop up type canopy or tent. I am thinking of something easy to set up (alone) that would provide protection from the rain while waiting to go into the ring. I have seen many of them at shows used for shade, I didn't see them being set up and was curious how difficult they are to handle. Anyone with experience or information please let me know. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

when i show outside (which admittedly is rare, since I HATE IT!!!!) i use my ez-up - its best to set up with two people, but i try to show with lydia on those weekends anyway. i could set it up alone, its just a lot harder

Thank you Doberkim, I was begining to think I am the only one on this board that has to show outside. We have limited shows here and they are all outside, I wish there were inside shows. It would be easier to title my nosey boy if the venue was inside. Thanks for the help, I will try to find an ez-up before Friday.

I have a pair of first up canopys, 10X10, it takes some practice, but I can put one up by myself, better if there are 2 people. I use a tarp clipped on around the edge to make shade/ protect from rain. they are worth their weight in gold when at an outside venue.

igot mine at BJ's, but they are also at walmart, i think.

the indoor show season isn't starting for another 2 months, once we hit november there will be lots of indoor shows. you just have to wait - april-oct around here most are outside!

I wish there would be indoor shows if I just wait. Unfortunately the closest indoors show is in February and in NJ. I am on eastern long island and there are no indoor shows around, the shows in general are few and far between, unless I travel off of the island. With the price of gas and everything now traveling is not in the cards at this point.
