Whether you are planning to host an outdoor marketing event or promote your brand at a conference, a custom canopy tent can be an excellent option to advertise your brand. Canopies have endless customization options, so you can add creative elements to your canopy for a truly unique event space.
This guide tells you everything you need to know about measuring a canopy tent, designing your order, and caring for your tent so it lasts for years to come.
Canopy tents help you showcase your brand or enhance your outdoor event spaces. Whether you need a tent for business purposes or a custom canopy for a birthday bash, it’s easy to find your right size and design. These tents are available in many different shapes and sizes and each tent has a frame, a carrying case, a canvas or fabric canopy with stakes and rope for installation purposes.
Most canopy tents are made of polyester, a durable and waterproof fabric with aluminum frames. The tent frame is lightweight and designed to collapse, so you can easily use these tents on-the-go. Canopy tents come with four telescopic legs for easy assembly and breakdown.
Canopies are ideal from an outdoor marketing perspective because they are easy to use, highly portable, and can be set up like a mobile brick and mortar to attract and visitors and promote sales.
Due to the portable nature of canopy tents, it’s very important you choose a canopy size that fits your needs and space. Too large a tent could be difficult to assemble or transport and too small a tent will be an underutilization of your event space. Keep the following tips in mind to ensure you find your perfect canopy tent size.
When purchasing a canopy tent, consider what purpose you want the tent to serve. If you need to fit a large amount of inventory or people in your tent, opt for a larger option. Smaller tents are sufficient for small tailgating events. You can find options as small as 6×6 or 10×10 all the way up to emergency medical tents sized 10×20.
It is important to note that the legs of your canopy tent can affect how much protection you’ll get from the elements. The canopy measurement is not the fabric on top but for the perimeter of the bottom of the legs. For instance, for a straight leg canopy with a measurement of 10×10, you’ll have 100 square feet of shade. On the contrary, the coverage of a 10×10 slant leg canopy can be 64 square feet (8′ ×8′).
The first measurement concerning custom canopy tents is the canopy length from the inside leg to the inside leg. Use a tape measure to check your specific dimensions and spatial needs.
Another important aspect to consider regarding the canopy size is the walk-in height measurement of the canopy. This is important because if you have taller guests, you’ll need to make sure they aren’t bumping their foreheads while stepping in and out.
You can opt for cathedral ceilings to offer extra room under your canopy and telescopic legs provide height adjustments as needed.When measuring your space, pay close attention to the ground measurement and the height measurement to ensure you find your perfectly-sized canopy tent.
Accessories are an excellent way to complete your business canopy’s look if you want to take your outdoor marketing efforts to the next level. Some enhancements include:
Once you have invested in a new canopy tent, you want to make sure it lasts. Fabric care is the most important part of this process. To clean your canopy, avoid bleaching it since this can cause discoloration of the fabric. Instead, use warm, soapy water to remove any heavy deposits before setting it to dry. To dry the surface, stretch the canopy fabric out on a clean, flat surface and allow it to air dry.
When folding the fabric, always fold along the creases to retain the canopy’s natural shape. Avoid bunching up the canopy top or forcing it into storage bags because random folds can diminish the longevity of the canopy material.
Keep these measurement and care considerations in mind when you purchase a canopy. These tips will help you choose wisely and maintain your tent’s quality for years to come.
