Summer Weddings With White Ace Canopies

One of the most essential items for a wedding is a canopy tent.  Nothing gets you more bang for your buck at the event.  A beautiful white top accompanied with the bride's white dress tie's the whole ceremony together. Wedding canopies can be expensive but there are places where you can get these tents for cheap.  In many cases it is more cost effective to buy instead of rent.  Below are some key factors on why it is better to buy the canopy tent for a wedding instead of renting:


  1. Many canopy rental companies need the most heavy duty grade to last set up and take down for events all year long.  Sometimes it pays to buy a medium grade canopy tent that is cheaper to buy than the purchase price of the much heavier duty type.
  2. Re-use the canopy tent after the wedding.  If you have a home with a backyard it might be worth it to buy and get more use out of the tent.
  3. Sell the tent after the wedding.  The resale value on canopy tents are very good.  You could potentially save a lot of money by buying the canopy tent for the wedding and selling it afterward as appose to renting it. 
  4. Gift the tent.  It's great item to offer a friend and family member and after you subtract the rental cost you would have paid if you rented, the canopy tent cost to gift might be marginal.

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.

Below are important key factors for pop up tents:

  1. A heavy duty frame that could be used every weekend for a long period of time.

How Pop Up Canopies Make Business Simpler

They work like offices, each set up as a booth in which customers can go to gain information. At job fairs, companies use them to separate themselves from the company sitting just a few feet away. They work well for garden parties, at family reunions, or on the beach. Gather a few in the back of a camper for instant shade and shelter while hanging at a campground.
One of the most useful things to have at a flea market is a canopy. It sets sellers apart from the buyers, creating a makeshift storefront. Each canopy represents a different section. Buy them custom or decorate each with a temporary sign or standing sign on the outside for effective advertising.
They are not heavy and unwieldy as to be difficult for travel and require very little set-up time. Instead of connecting pieces, these open up and one secures them to their temporary location. During job fairs, use a pop up canopy that can fit a table and chairs on both sides. This gives one an opportunity to sit down and speak with possible candidates about the company and its openings. This is a more personal touch over just handing out fliers.
During a wedding reception that features a variety of foods, caterers may use the different tents to house treats. One canopy might have a custom sundae bar, while another one holds a portable bar and smoothie section. This provides something for adults and children attending the function. On sunny days, pop up canopies provide space for friends and family to come back to after walking the beach or swimming. Rather than searching for a space to sit, canopies readily identify which section everyone meets under.

You should be concerned about the durability of your outdoor canopy for any type of use. Canopies can easily be destroyed by rain, snow, hail and many other adverse weather conditions. You need to look for a durable one if you want it to serve your needs.






Basics of outdoor canopy tents:


  1. Make sure you get foot pads for windy conditions.  This will secure the canopy.
  2. Mesh side walls can weaken the wind and secure the canopy.
  3. If the canopy is going to be used for rain protection, do not use canvas.  A waterproof poly or vinyl material is better.
  4. Make sure that the poles of the canopy are galvanized.  This prevents rust.
  5. Make sure there are grommets at least every 18" to secure the canopy tarp.
