Should You Invest in a Custom Canopy Tent Now?

Business operations are managed through various processes that require adequate funding. In business accounting, this kind of funding is expressed as operating expenses, but in some cases, it can be viewed as an investment instead of an overhead item. Customer service, for example, is a business process that can generate customer loyalty and word-of-mouth marketing, so it can be viewed through an investment lens. Marketing is another business process that is more in line with investing because it can generate substantial returns. |
Increased Visibility for Your Brand
Outdoor canopy tents provide an excellent opportunity to highlight your branding. For the most part, the spaces assigned to exhibitors at outdoor events tend to be larger; the industry standard calls for enough room to set up a canopy tent 10x10, and this gives you plenty of space for full color, photo quality high-resolution printing on a larger surface. Consider all the advertising surfaces that a canopy tent 10x20 offers: This gives you 200 square feet that can be filled with logos, images, lettering, slogans, messages, URLs, social media handles, and even QR codes that attendees can scan with their smartphones. |

The High-Quality Materials of Our Canopy Tent Solutions

When you purchase a heavy-duty outdoor canopy tent from Lush Banners, you are in fact investing in a promotional item that can stay in your company for decades. The commercial-grade aluminum used to manufacture the frames that support our custom canopies is similar to the kind used for road traffic signs; in fact, we extend a limited lifetime warranty for our frames because we know that they are made with materials engineered for outdoor use. |
Trade Show Canopy Tents Are Easy to Carry, Store, and Set Up
The adjustable pop-up frame system of our canopy tents makes them easy to install. The process of setting up a tent involves four steps:
- Removal and arrangement of frame and hardware.
- Extending the frame from the center to a halfway point.
- Placing the canopy on top of the half-extended frame in order to fit the fabric and fasten it with velcro straps.
- Extending the rest of the frame and adjusting the telescoping legs to an adequate height.

Lush Banners highly recommends a heavy-duty canopy frame carrying bag for our custom solutions. These bags are specifically designed to make storage and transportation easy and comfortable; moreover, they are available in sizes ranging from 5x5 to 10x20 frames. Thanks to features such as wheels, multiple handles, and a side pocket to store printed fabric, our bags let you roll in and out of events. Since we have already established that canopy tents are in fact investments, you will want to protect yours with our special carry-and-storage bags.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is your tent frame height adjustable?
Yes, simply extend the telescopic legs and lock them into place! The height is adjustable from 7.2 ft to 11.5 ft.
2. Is the pop-up canopy tent graphic weather and fireproof?
Your custom pop-up tent frame is made of commercial-grade aluminum which is weather and fireproof. The custom graphics are made of durable outdoor oxford fabric which is UV/Water Proof, and Flame Retardant.
3. What is the expected life expectancy of your custom canopy tents?
With proper care and maintenance, the estimated life expectancy of custom tents is around 3-5 years. Most of our clients replace their custom graphics on the tent due to wear and tear or branding updates.
4. Is custom pop up tent easy to transport?
Generally yes, as the frame is retractable. However, please pay attention that the packaging is still relatively bulky and heavy, due to the size of the pop-up tent and the thick printing material of the tent graphic. (60 inches long, 55 Ibs average for a 10ft custom canopy tent with graphic). We have an optional rolling bag to make transportation and storage easy.
5. How can I prevent my assembled tent from blowing over in strong winds?
If you intend to use your tent during windy weather, please make sure to use the rope and ground nails kit that is included with every Lush Banners custom tent and banner set order. This will secure the 4 corners to the ground and prevent the tent banner from flapping or toppling over in the wind. Also, you can consider buying extra sandbags for your tent, a set of 4 can add 70-80Ibs extra weight to your custom tent, or our new set of 2 canopy tent weights that add around 16lbs of weight per leg.
6. How are graphics for canopy tents fabricated?
Creating custom canopy tops for a tent all starts from a blank white roll of fabric, which is heavy-duty and weather-proof. For example, Lush Banners uses the thickest material 600D oxford cloth on the market for durability. Then the designed graphic will be printed out on the tent graphic and cut into pieces according to the templates. Skilled workers then sew all the pieces into the top, the walls, etc. One thing that needs to be mentioned is all the finishings are important for the quality of your custom canopy like reinforced strips running across the top, and Velcro fasteners keeping walls secured.
7. How to customize a pop-up tent canopy?
The good news is you have unlimited options to customize the canopy graphic for your tent any way you want! The custom design for your tent can go all over the canopy, and you can thoughtfully choose walls, side panels, doors, windows, connectors, and even sanitizer holders to fulfill any functions. Please feel free to talk to our specialists now to find out more.
