Outdoor Canopy Buying Guide

Looking for an outdoor canopy?  Before you buy, there are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind when shopping for outdoor canopy tents.  With so many styles, features and sizes, it can become overwhelming if you’re not prepared.

Your first consideration should be what your primary use for outdoor shade canopies will be.  Are you wanting to add more covered space to your outdoor living area?  Will it be used at local little league games?  Maybe you’re buying an outdoor canopy for an upcoming wedding?  Regardless, ensuring you select the right size will determine if it serves its purpose or falls short of hitting its mark.

Is an open canopy sufficient for your needs or will optional vinyl walls on one or all sides better suit your purposes?  Also, if your canopy won’t be used long term, such as an extension of your covered patio during the summer months, you’ll want to ensure it packs easily and compact.  Another important factor is the quality of the outside canopy.  You’ll want to look for those that are made of commercial grade materials and are water, mildew and flame resistant.  Be sure the spikes and other hardware, such as zippers, are durable, as well.

The 20×20 Party Shelter by King Canopy is an excellent outdoor canopy solution for birthday parties, wedding receptions and rehearsals or other outside gatherings.  It offers more than ample coverage, with 20′ in both length and width and a center height of 11′6″.  Its A-frame design gives it that unique look.  Its steel frame is powder-coated to ensure rust never becomes a problem and it’s fire retardant for additional safety.

Another use for outside canopies is for the storage of lawn equipment, ATVs and even automobiles.  Modern Furniture Warehouse has a wide selection of these enclosed storage canopies to meet your storage needs.  With an inventory that includes more than 45 styles, sizes and features, you’re sure to find exactly what you’re looking for.
