I use one that I bought at Walmart for about $100. There are a lot of them out there so I read a bunch of the reviews and went with the one that had positive reviews and fit my needs. I'm sure you could spend hundreds of dollars on something but there are plenty of capable products out there for reasonable prices.

I have one (10' x 10') that I got at some big box sporting goods store on sale for $75. Had another similar one before it. Before that, I had a real nice one. But, I find that if you use it often enough, one day you'll decide you don't have to take it down overnight or you'll go to lunch and the wind will take it out. The nice one (EZ Up brand) was lighter and a little easier to deal with up/down. Maybe two minutes instead of 3. Did I mention lighter. I think Al instead of steel, but not entirely sure anymore. Much nicer and smoother operating hardware. In the end, cheap wins on this one for me because it'll just get destroyed soon enough. YMMV.

Rhino are very good. I got one love it.
Very heavy duty can erect and pack up on your own although the large one I have is very heavy. They do smaller ones though.
It's had well over a ton of snow on it recently and still standing!!! rain sun wind holding up well. It's been up for months.
It's capable of holding up a car so must be strong!!

How do those tents keep the notorious wet weather off yer tools? Things like the MFT for example how do those tents protect the MDF top.
Just curious as Im deciding what to take with me when/ if (theyre dragging their feet) me moving there.
I use two Quest brand tents side by side a lot. They're the slant leg 10x10 models so the canopy is only 8x8. I picked up the pair on sale for $130 from the local sporting goods store. It seemed easier setting up two smaller tents than one big one if your by yourself and it was actually cheaper too. The downside to the smaller canopy is depending on the time of day the shade coverage can be pretty minimal. I use mine to block the sun more often than rain.

Mine is total enclosed all 4sides.
Cus of the size of mine it has 6sections. All sections are same size.
I got two side sections which come with a roll up blind for window which have a clear plastic window so lets light in but keeps rain out.
I got two side sections with a door
I got two side sections whichs are just solid fabric blank.
I can stick these on any side I want to adapt to any situation.
