Canopy Tents & Intended Application

An important factor to consider when buying a canopy tent or any other portable shelter is the intended use or application for your shelter. Canopy tents and portable shelters can be used to provide shelter and protection at the park, on a hiking trip, when camping, at the beach, on a picnic, in the backyard, for tailgating, and during a number of other outdoor activities. Canopy tents and shelters can provide protection from the elements, offer privacy, and much more. Understanding the precise application and particular purpose your canopy tent or shelter will serve can help you to determine which shelter is best for you.

Popular uses for canopy tents include:

• To provide protection from the elements: Canopy tents can provide shelter from the sun and rain during any outdoor activity including when camping, at a picnic, or during a Bar-B-Q. Some canopy tents can even offer protection from strong winds with one or several attached or removable sides.
• To keep out insects and pests: Screened-in shelters and canopy tents can offer additional protection from bugs and other pests or insects. This is ideal for storing, eating, or serving food. Canopy tents with screened walls and an attached floor will offer the greatest protection from bugs and other pests.
• To shelter gear from the rain: Tarps and other canopy tents can be used to store and protect gear on camping trips or at a base camp for hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts. This can be helpful when space in a tent is tight.
• To offer privacy: Some small canopy tents and shelters are specifically designed to offer privacy when showering, changing, or using the bathroom on camping trips or at the beach.
• To provide shelter for sleeping: A tarp can be an ideal lightweight shelter for ultra light backpacking or hiking as it offers protection from light winds and rain as well as morning dew.

Other Canopy Tent Considerations

Additional factors to consider when selecting a canopy tent or portable shelter for your next outdoor excursion may include:

• Size: The required size of your canopy tent or shelter will depend on the intended purpose as well as the number of people who will be using your shelter. You should also consider the size of any tables or chairs that will be stored in the shelter.
• Weight: For some activities, including car camping and at home use, weight will not be important. However, if you will need to carry your canopy tent along with other gear, it will be important to look for a lightweight shelter that can pack up to a compact and easy to carry size.
• Ease of Assembly: Canopy tents can include those that simply pop up to open as well as others that require more work and multiple people to construct. You will want to consider ease of assembly and deconstruction when selecting any canopy tent or shelter.
