Identify Your Needs
The very first thing you need to consider when choosing tents for events is your needs. Will this tent be used for a business or personal use? Do you want it for indoor trade shows, fundraisers, arts and craft shows, etc or will it be used for outside recreational purposes and festivals? Perhaps your pop-up tent will be used for all of the above! The answer to these questions is unique to your particular case and will determine the size canopy you need and the materials it should be made out of. Consider both short-term and long-term use.
An Aluminum Vs. Steel Frame
Aluminum frames are lighter and rust-resistant. This is an excellent choice if you need your pop-up canopy tent to be portable and/or protected against harsh environmental elements. For instance, if you plan on taking your pop-up to the beach, an aluminum frame will make it easy to carry and protect the frame from the saltwater.
A steel frame, on the other hand, is heavier but also more durable. For this reason, it is considered to be more stable. This is a great option if you will not have to carry your pop-up far to its destination and need something that is sure to withstand conditions such as high winds.
Canopy Material
Choosing the right canopy material is just as important as choosing the frame itself. The two most common types of material are polyester and vinyl. Both of these materials come in an indoor version and an outdoor version. Vinyl is a heavier material that can hold up to wear and tear. Polyester is much lighter, making it easier to transport from place to place. [1]
Straight Legs Vs. Slant Legs
At first glance, this consideration may just seem like a design preference. The orientation of the legs, however, is a functional choice dependent on your needs. Slant legs offer a wider base and more stylish look. Many argue that it is the wider base that provides more usable space. Pop-up canopy tents with straight legs are taller and offer more stability and balance as compared to tents with slant legs.
Accessorize
In its simplest form, a pop-up canopy tent is a roof with four poles, which may be all you need. However, if you need a little more, there are plenty of ways to accessorize. E-Z UP offers the highest quality accessories to help you make the most of your tent. Stake kits, weight bags, flags, chairs, umbrellas, sidewalls, work cubes, and camping cubes are just a few of the ways you can deck out your canopy tent.
