There were numerous Shady Boys at the Spring Buses by the Beach
(WWW.Buesebythebeach.com) event which was hampered by heavy rain.  Saturday
evening a torrential Michigan downpour forced us all back to our buses.  We
sat out the rain under our Shady Boy.  I watched as rain would pool up on
top, bending the fiberglass poles until it would hit the angle where the
rain would pour off and the awning would bounce back.

It's a great product.

Drilling 6 holes thru the roof of the bus is a traumatic experience, but
worth the the effort when you're sitting under your Shady Boy with a nice
single malt and a La Gloria Cubana Maduro Gorda...
