Canopy tent, also called Popup tent, is widely used in all kinds of marketing and outdoor events. From a small roadshow to a national trade show gala and from a football match to a family party, custom printed tents can be easily found on many occasions in our daily life. Though we may use tents from time to time, many people know little about how to judge the quality of the tent and how to purchase a more durable canopy tent. So below is some advice for you to get a quality custom tent by your own.

In display and promotional industry, there are many types of tents, and different types of tents are different in hardware, for example, some are made from the aluminum while others steel, some are hex tube while others square tube, and some are with a tube diameter of 40mm while others 50mm. So normally when it comes to choosing a tent, it ostensibly seems that you just need to choose the frame. However, the difference for tents don’t just lie in hardware, if you want a durable tent, you also need to consider the tent top.

1) About the Fabric

Though there are many fabrics available for making tent tops, however, 600D PU coated Polyester is publicly regarded as a standard fabric for tent tops. With special coating, this fabric is waterproof and can withstand the UV rays, which can increase the lifespan of your tent top.

2) Center Pole Corner

For most canopies, a piece of reinforcement fabric will be added to the center pole corner to increase the lifespan of the tent, since support force from the center pole may result in easily tearing and wearing. So when you buy the tent, please check its center pole corner reinforcement.

3) Wind-resistant Reinforcement Gasket and Hot-sealed Stripe around the Valance

On most occasions, event tents will be used for outdoor activities. Therefore, it is necessary to make sure the wind-resistant and waterproof accessories, such as reinforcement gasket and hot-sealed stripe, are right there in place.

4) Sided Corner Reinforcement

Another aspect you need to consider when purchase a tent is the sided corner reinforcement. No matter you set up the tent or tear it down, general tearing and wearing of the sided corner is unavoidable. So please pay attention to the sided corner reinforcement to see whether it is strong enough for repeated uses.
