We are considering adding a canopy/awning to the side of our JK.
I see a wide range of sizes, shapes, and prices from a ton of vendors.

How useful is it?
What problems you've had, etc.
Please add a pic and your opinions on how well it works.

One of my primary concerns is that the ones I've seen all require vertical support posts and outrigger ropes that go to tent stakes.
That won't work too easily for tailgating on blacktop, (I could tether the poles to 5-gallon buckets of concrete, but that's a real PITA to deal with).
I'm wondering if there are brands/options that crank out with an integral frame like my neighbors' patio awning...

If you know of any options, please post them up.
