Portable carport · Beach · Tailgate · Camp

A carport that never touches the ground.

UVgotshade clamps to your own wheels, so your car is the anchor. No stakes, no sandbags, no permission from the parking lot. Park, mount four poles, stretch the canopy, walk away.

How it mounts

Your wheels do the heavy lifting

Four contact points, all on the car. The weight of the vehicle holds the canopy down, which is why it stays put where pop-up tents blow away.

Flexible rubber tripod mount wrapped through the spokes of an alloy wheel
STEP 1 · WHEEL MOUNT

Wrap a mount through the spokes

Flexible rubber-coated legs grip the wheel without tools. The ball head swivels so the pole stands straight on any rim.

STEP 2 · TELESCOPIC POLE

Thread on the aluminum pole

The pole threads into the hub mount and extends to clear your roofline. A foam sleeve slides over it, so only soft foam sits near the paint.

STEP 3 · STRETCH CANOPY

Stretch the canopy over the top

UPF 50+ stretch fabric hooks to each pole and cinches tight with tension cords, so it sheds wind instead of catching it. Packs into its own bag.

Where it goes

Anywhere you can park

Regular canopies need stakes and sandbags. Car covers flap, scuff the paint and tear in wind. UVgotshade is anchored by the car itself, so it holds where they fail.

Beach drives

Shade on the sand

No sandbags, no stakes pulling loose. Park on the beach, mount up, and the car holds the canopy down.

Tailgates

Shade for the crew

The 10×10 and 12×12 canopies reach past the car, so the cooler and chairs get shade too.

Camping

A carport at the campsite

Keep the cabin cool and give yourself a shaded spot next to the car, even on hard ground where stakes won't go in.

Home

No garage, no problem

For apartment and condo spots with no cover. Keep the interior cooler and the paint out of the sun.

Why it's different

Built for parking lots, not backyards

Works on asphalt

Beach canopies need sand or soil for stakes. Yours mounts to the car, so it goes up in a paved lot, a driveway or a garage-less condo spot.

Never sits on the paint

Car covers trap grit and heat against the clear coat. The canopy floats above the roof with air moving underneath.

Built for wind

Car covers act like a sail and tear. Our tear-resistant stretch fabric pulls taut between four poles and sheds wind instead of catching it. It's made to hold its color in Florida sun.

Questions

Before you buy

Will it scratch my car?

No. Each telescopic aluminum pole is wrapped in a foam tube, so only soft foam can touch your paint. The wheel mounts have rubber-coated legs that wrap through the spokes instead of clamping the rim. Wipe the wheel first so no grit gets trapped.

Can I drive with it on?

No. Take the canopy down before you move the car. Setup and teardown each take a few minutes.

Which size fits my car?

7×7 shades the cabin and roof of a compact car. 10×10 covers most sedans and small SUVs. 12×12 covers full-size SUVs, trucks and vans. When in doubt, size up.

What about strong storms?

The canopy is rated for winds up to 35 mph. For tropical storms and hurricanes, take it down and store it in its bag.

Will it fit my wheels?

The flexible mounts fit most open-spoke alloy wheels. Solid hubcaps or very narrow spoke gaps may not leave room to wrap the legs through.
