3 Things You Need to Check Before Purchasing the Pop Up Canopy Tent

Pop-up canopy tents are widely used for almost any indoor and outdoor activities. They can provide shade while exposing branding messages. Whether it is a marketing event or an outing picnic, there is an option for your demands. 

We use the canopy tent a lot on many different occasions, but it is not easy to find one that is budget-saving and of reliable quality. Making sure to check the following things will help you avoid detours.

 


Canopy Material
There are several different canopy fabrics for options, like 300D Poly, 420D Poly, and 600D Poly. The unit denier (D for short) here is used for the fiber thickness of individual threads. Usually, fabrics with higher denier counts tend to be thicker and more durable while those with lower denier counts are softer and silky. 

Compared with 600D Poly, 420D Poly is more budget-saving. However, when considering durability, 600D Poly is recommended. Besides the thickness and durability of the fabric, some other things also need to take into account when choosing the canopy fabrics. Canopy tents are used for both indoor and outdoor events, so it always requires the fabric to be flame retardant, waterproof, and UV protection when making the tent top.



Canopy Size

10x10ft, 10x15ft, and 10x20ft are three standard sizes for event canopy tents. Of course, if you need tents of other sizes, like 8x8ft and 20x20ft, you can also find them from a canopy tent supplier.

Choosing the right-sized canopy tent for your event is easy, and it always depends on the display space you have. Standard 10x10ft canopy tent is specially designed for standard trade show booths while 10x15ft tents and 10x20 tents are widely used for outdoor displays.

Though many canopies are 10x10ft in size, they are usually slightly different in template design and actual size. Therefore, if you buy the tent frame and tent top from two different suppliers, your tent top may not match your tent frame. To solve this pain point, some suppliers, like CFM, offer matching print services for different types of tent frames.


Frame Material

The aluminum tent frame is widely used on most occasions. Of course, steel frames are also available when you need them to be heavier-duty. However, most people prefer aluminum frames for their lightweight and portable features. If you are worried that the aluminum frame is not sturdy enough in some windy weather, you can choose sandbags and ground spikes with ropes to increase the steadiness of the tent.


Have an upcoming event and need a set of custom canopy tents? Then don’t forget to have a look at the three things mentioned above.
