subject: The Many Uses Of The Discount Canopy Tents [print this page] Discount canopy tents are an open-air structure consisting only of a top and its support poles. Sometimes sheer or net sides are added to protect its occupants from insects but it otherwise gives little protection from the elements. The two main purposes of a canopy are to provide shade and define space.
These shelters are popular at street fairs, carnivals, outdoor flea markets, or any other place where an organization or individual wants to claim a little spot to show off their wares.
Because a beach canopy is expected to provide a little privacy as well, it often has half-fabric sides with a sheer front and sheer or net upper walls. It is still defined as a canopy because of its light weight, easy portability and open, airy feel.
Rental stores keep these canopy tent shelters on hand because they are a popular item, however many people use their canopies so often they buy their own. Of course, a wise shopper will look for a discounted or a used tent. Often an online search will help a customer find a new tent at a lower price than a used one. Look for overstocked or discontinued items.
Another variation of the canopy is the party tent. Like its smaller cousin, it is a roof and poles. However the party tent is larger and has a more elaborate structure. It often comes in sections that can be joined to expand to any size needed. Because each section can stand-alone or be joined to another, the top is made from specialized tarps.
Party tents are used for weddings, church socials or any other place where a large group wants to gather together in an outdoor setting. For a very large crowd, a buffet can be set up under the canopy tent. Members of the party then enter the tent to fill their plates and go to outdoor tables to eat.
Discount canopy tents are affordable structures useful in a wide variety of settings. These popular shelters come in many specialized shapes to fit their various uses. From a day at the beach to an outdoor wedding to a street fair these tents can be put to good use in many different places.
