What to Expect From Canopy Tents in 2019

The canopy tent industry will see some changes in 2019.  The weather, politics and the economy will all be a factor.

Canopy tents are an expendable item.  These temporary shelters will not last forever.  The main question is, how long will they last.  The current trend in weather is seeing summers with higher temperatures and winters with colder temperatures.  Below are some changes we can expect to see for the canopy tents industry in 2019:


  1. Thickness of material - Due to the longer and hotter summers, the tops on canopy tents will need to be thinker that they have in the past.
  2.  Cost of steel - Trade tariffs will have a major effect on the cost of steel.  All American importers that sell steel related products can expect a 27% increase in costs, rounding off the margins of products to a minimum of 30%  American made products can be up to 60% higher than imports.
  3. Loss of product due to volatile weather - 2018 saw record high storms, tornadoes and hurricanes.  If the past 10 year trend continues, we are likely to see more and thus be prepared to have damages to canopy tents due to this factor.

Canopy Tent Trends for 2018

Every year the demand for new types of canopy tents grows.  Many people find new requirements for outdoor shade or weather protection.  This year shows a new trend of necessity as oppose to leisure driven purposes.  The growing trend of minimalism is seeping it's way to the canopy tent segment.  An increasing trend of people are choosing to buy smaller homes and opt for a carport as appose to a shed or metal building.  In some cases people have been storing excess belongings in an enclosed canopy tent rather than a storage unit. 

A recent canopy tent buyer at Ace Canopy said, "I would rather spend $500 fixing up my backyard with a canopy tent gazebo, than spending the $5000 on vacation trip this summer."

Although the economy is improving, many people are choosing to improve the quality of their backyard in exchange for that expensive summer trip.
