Outdoor Canopy Uses And Ideas


The outdoor canopy has many uses for all types of accasions. They can be used in a variety of situations and for numerous reasons as well. The canopy can be perfect to use when hosting a party at home or other gathering. They can be the perfect temporary covering to use in the front or back of a home.

The outdoor canopies are also perfect to use for other events, such as company picnics or to use at a home and garden show. They are very easy to set up and move. They have stakes to attach them to the ground, so they are plenty sturdy as well. Plus, multiple outdoor canopy 10x10 can be attached together, creating a very large covering in an area.

There are many variations of the outdoor canopy and some are much more decorative than others. There are versions that have decorative and ornate polls that hold the canopy up. While others have adjustable height too. The canopy cover may be a solid color or it may have a pattern on it, depending on the decor it is being matched to.

There are outdoor canopy tents that can have attachments added to them, such as sun screens and visors down the sides. There are also bug nets that can be attached and the entire canopy can also be completely enclosed if desired. Many offer matching attachments, so all the patterns and designs are the same. The attachments are easily secured by Velcro and can be added and removed at will.

Lastly, there is the option that some have to hang lights around the edge and even underneath the canopy. This can look beautiful when it lights up a back or front yard party or event. This is also perfect for when the outdoor canopy is being used at a show or corporate event and light will be needed well into the evening.

Pop Up Tent Canopies Saved The Day


The biggest fund raiser of our club is the annual outdoor craft show. This past weeks event was hindered by a bad forecast, but the event was saved due to pop up tent canopies. Although the weather didn't entirely interfere with the two days of the event, many sales would have been lost had it not been for the tents.

The few times it rained, the canopies offered refuge to customers and vendors alike. The optional detachable sides can be moved to attach to different walls of the canopy. No matter which way the wind may be blowing you are always protected from rain and cold.

The initial investment for the pop up canopies was a bit steep due to the number and variety of sizes we had to order. In just a few short years they have paid for themselves by keeping every function up and running. The walls offer a great way for the vendors to display their name and or logo. So many are impressed with our event that we have a waiting line for new vendors to come in. All due to the versatility of the canopied tent.

If you or your group is interested having an outdoor event, look into making use of these canopy tents. Square, oblong, hexagonal, and built in a large variety of sizes there is no way you can wrong. An entire stage can be protected if your event should offer all day entertainment.

Custom size tent canopies can be made based on specific requirements. Standard sizes range in the area of five feet to twenty feet. Colors are plentiful and optional as is the design features of all these tents. Reminiscent of old time fairs, your event's success is inevitable as attendees are drawn to the wide array of sizes, shapes and colors.

Mother Nature threatened our event, but she had no effect on the outcome. Despite the dreary days, the use of pop up tent canopies made our craft show as profitable as it has always been. If you are planning any kind of outdoor event, any investment you make in these tents will be money well spent.

Purchasing And Using Party Tents


If you are planning an outdoor occasion, sometimes you need something to keep the sun, rain, or bugs off your guests. Affordable and easy to deal with, party tents can be just the thing for your special day. Unlike other structures, these tents are simple and easy to put up, and don't require outside help for most people.

The party tents are made of galvanized steel pole frames and polyethylene roofs, these tents meet all CPAI-84 safety requirements and are flame-retardant. This means that your gathering is protected from dangerous situations and meets any legal requirements. The polyethylene tops of these tents come in a variety of sizes so that you can pick the right one, and can be solid colors or striped for a little additional fun.

Party tents are available with and without walls for rainy, windy, or bug-laden days. These walls can be either the same polyethylene material used for the roofs, which is sturdy and waterproof, or netting, for keeping out the bugs while allowing in the light. There are even models with poly walls that have windows in them.

There are traditional style tents with pointed roofs, higher peaked canopies for a visually exciting look, and A-frame setups available. Replacement parts make keeping your party tents in order cheap and easy, because you don't have to replace the entire structure if something wears out. Or, you can use one frame with two different roofs to create a more somber appearance for weddings and solemn occasions, and a fun-filled fiesta on other days.

Renting party tents are available from various agencies, but looking around before renting one is suggested. Some companies sell their party tents at such low prices that it hardly makes sense not to buy them. And for people who will use their new structure more than once, purchase is always advisable.
