There are three general types of canopies, instant canopies, sometimes called pop-up canopies, pole tents, and frame tents. Whichever style canopy you choose they are all available with side wall options and most canopies are going to be topped with canvas or polyester fabrics.

A pop-up canopy (or portable gazebo or frame tent in some countries) is a shelter that collapses down to a size that is portable. Typically, canopies of this type come in sizes from five feet by five feet to ten feet by twenty feet.

One canopy manufacturer recommends at least 40 pounds on each corner of a 10x10 tent; double that on a 10x20 tent. 50 pounds should be used for umbrellas. Weights for signs will vary depending on the size of sign. You should always have your canopy secured to the ground.

We suggest between 28 and 30 MPH you take the canopy system down completely. We always suggest that when it gets too bad for you then it is too bad for the canopy, we have tested units up to 35 mph when anchored down.

A canopy is a lightweight tent used for shade or for a light shower. A canopy needs to be installed on grass, has center poles and ropes and stakes all around the perimeter. A frame tent are two aluminum poles that is assembled like a frame of a house, is stronger against wind and can accommodate sidewalls.

Without treatment, the canopy will last about 2 to 3 years. Canopies made with low grade fabrics will last about 6 months to a year. Exposure to UV rays, rain, wind, and snow make the fabric brittle.
