1. Outdoor activities and gatherings sometimes require canopy tents to
protect the guests and the food from the outside elements. There
are a variety of canopy tents to choose from. To find the perfect
canopy for your event, consider these five tips.
The first decision to be made is to select the canopy style and size.
You will need a large tent if you are hosting a big event with lots of
tables and chairs. If you are looking for a tent for your patio or even
taking a trip to the beach or park, a smaller canopy will probably do
the job.

2. There are basically five canopy tent styles. The party canopy is
medium to large and may or may not have privacy sides. A tent that
is small in size and easy to transport and construct allows the
perfect shelter for young children. The beach canopy will protect
two to three people from the sun. The square canopy is medium to
large and is easy to set up. It’s larger than the beach canopy and
allows for a group of people to have shelter Lastly, the triangular
sail canopy is fastened using ropes and is typically used on patios
and over pools.
Selecting the frame is the next choice. Frames come in steel or
aluminum. Aluminum is lightweight and transports easily, but it will
bend easier than steel and might have trouble standing securely
when the wind blows. Steel frames can rust.
Once the frame selection is made, consider whether you want a
lightweight or heavy-duty canopy. Heavy-duty canopies will
withstand the wind and rain and will stay erected for a good
amount of time. Lightweight canopies are typically less than 40
pounds and can be taken down by two or three people, and they
easily fit into the trunk of a vehicle

3. Now, decide on the type of material you want the canopy cover to
be made of. A popular choice is polyester because it is durable and
water resistant. Polyethylene is great for tents that are carried and
set up for short periods because they are lighter in weight. Be sure
to select cover material that is flame resistant.
Lastly, consider the elements. If the ground issoft and wet from the
rain, stakes will probably be ineffective and will not hold the tent in
place. If wind is an issue, you might consider using canopy tent
weights to keep the frame in place.
No matter the weather, canopy tents work great for gatherings and
outdoor activities. Please visit this website to learn more about tent
