subject: Why You Need A Portable Canopy [print this page] How many times has this happened: You're out with your friends or family, having a wonderful picnic or hanging out on the beach, the weather's just right until the heat really starts to kick in. You left around noon, and it was fine, then, but now the sun is really beating down, flies are swarming, you're getting a sunburned and now everybody's in a bad mood, arguing with one another, the food is ruined and you're at each other's throats. You're ready to go home, you just spent three hours driving here for nothing. This is why you need a portable canopy.
Maybe you don't have your picnics ruined on a daily basis or anything, but if you like getting out of the house now and then, then we're willing to bet that, at one point or another, you've had your weekend destroyed by the lack of a portable canopy thanks to the heat or the rain.
A portable canopy is just plain a good thing to keep in the back of your SUV or truck for when you go out with the family or with friends to have a good time outdoors. It turns pretty much anywhere in the world into an instant patio for you to hang out on.
The main benefit of these canopies is simply that weather won't be an issue anymore. Barring a serious thunderstorm or a hurricane, you never really even need to take weather into account when planning a day out. As long as it's somewhere between fifty and a hundred degrees, as long as the rain doesn't get TOO heavy, you're good to go.
Think of the old boy scout motto: Be prepared. As long as you have a canopy in your vehicle, you're prepared, simple as that. It's easy to set up and it renders you all but invulnerable to weather hiccups.
