Shopping for Gazebo canopy tent

Shopping for a new gazebo canopy tent will require some considerations on your part. Canopy tents come in many different sizes, styles, materials, and colors. There are also many different brands to consider. Some are more expensive because they include better materials and manufacturing techniques. Others are inexpensive but also considered more portable. When you are deciding which canopy will best work for you backyard or patio area, you should definitely begin by determining how much space you would like to shelter.

Most backyard areas have an existing patio area that is typically depicted by a concrete slab. You can choose to cover that specific space or more. If you don't have an existing patio area, you may want to stake out the space you wish to cover so you can get a better idea of the space you want to cover. You can then measure the distance between the stakes to get the exact dimension that you will need. You may not be able to find a canopy of that exact size, but you should have no problem finding one that is similar, either slightly smaller or larger.

It is typical for canopies to be made with materials such as metal, wood, or plastic. A canopy made with plastic materials is probably going to be very portable or one that is easy to put up and take down when you need to. Metal and wood materials are heavier and considered more permanent. You can even choose to anchor such a shelter down to your concrete patio so that it remains stationary all year round.

The gazebo canopy tent style is very attractive and more appealing to homeowners because of the peaked roof. The roof is usually made with some kind of canvas or vinyl fabric. Most fabrics are very durable and able to withstand normal outdoor conditions. In extreme weather, it is definitely best to remove the canopy or the entire shelter if needed.

In recent years, gazebos have become increasingly popular. Many people long for the fancy redwood trimmed wedding styled gazebos to be in their backyard near a fountain or stream. However, often the price does not comply with their dreams. If you're looking for a gazebo but you either don't have the budget or don't have a lot of room, see why a canopy gazebo (or first up gazebo) might be right for you.

Advantages of a Canopy Gazebo

A canopy gazebo provides a similar function to a regular gazebo at a lower cost. They are most similar to tents seen at fairs - they have an aluminum, powder coated steel, or wrought iron framework. The cover is usually made from canvas, vinyl, leather, or a similar material. They are much quicker to set up - you assemble the frame, install the cover, and it's ready to go. This also makes them very portable - so you can place them wherever is most convenient at the time. Finally this type gazebo usually offers a fully screened-in space - so you can eat or relax without worrying about bugs.

Disadvantages of a Canopy Gazebo

For starters, there are different types of canopy gazebos - and the cheapest ones have coverings which may only last a few months. Next, being a lightweight portable structure means it will not withstand heavy weather - so you will have to put it away when a big storm comes. Another possible disadvantage is the look - they look much more like tents than they do a conventional gazebo, so you will likely not find it an attractive part of your landscape. More likely it will actually detract from your landscape.

When to Choose a Canopy Gazebo

If your main priority is to have a place for outdoor parties and eating, a canopy gazebo can provide good protection from the elements - especially bugs. This is something you can assemble before the party starts and take down afterward. A canopy tent gazebo can also be used for fishing trips and other special occasions - whenever you have an event which calls for temporary shelter.

If you are looking for a permanent addition to your landscape that can be used any time of year, a canopy gazebo is likely not the best option. For this, a garden gazebo should probably be your first choice.

Remember also that by spending a little more money on a gazebo you will receive better building materials, especially the cover itself. This will make the difference between a canopy gazebo which lasts about one season and one that lasts years.
