Custom Canopy Tent Buying Guide
Short answer: For most exhibitors, a 10×10 canopy with a printed top, a back wall and one side wall covers a single booth. Choose the complete set (printed top + aluminum frame + carry bag) unless you already own a compatible frame, allow 6–8 business days production (2–3 with rush) plus transit, and approve the free proof before anything prints.
Everything to decide before ordering a custom printed canopy tent — size, what you get, walls, print, delivery speed and artwork.
1. Size
Pick by table count and booth space — 10×10 (standard), 10×15 (more room), 10×20 (double booth). See what size to buy.
2. What you get
- Complete Canopy Set — the printed canopy top + aluminum hex frame + carry bag.
- Printed Canopy Top Only — the custom-printed fabric top on its own (no frame, no carry bag), for customers who already have a compatible frame. Pricing varies by canopy size; see the relevant product page for current pricing.
3. Walls
Add up to 3 printed walls total — any combination of full-height and half-height walls — for weather cover and branding. See wall options.
4. Print
Every canopy is dye-sublimated — ink bonded into the fabric, so it will not crack, peel or fade in the sun.
5. Delivery speed
Production is 6–8 business days (standard) or 2–3 business days (rush, +50%) after you approve your free proof. Shipping/transit time is additional and depends on your destination.
6. Quantity
Ordering 3 or more drops the per-tent price automatically.
7. Artwork
Upload a print-ready file or add the design service ($35). You approve a free proof before anything prints.
Frequently asked questions
What size canopy tent should I buy?
10x10 for a standard single booth or market pitch, 10x15 when you need room for a longer table or a queue, and 10x20 for a double booth. All three use the same aluminum hex frame and 600D polyester top, so size is about footprint rather than build quality.
What comes with a custom canopy tent?
The complete set includes your custom-printed canopy top, a heavy-duty aluminum hex frame with telescopic legs, and a carry bag. You can also order the printed top on its own to fit a compatible frame you already own.
How many printed walls can I add?
Up to three in total, in any mix of full and half height. A back wall turns the canopy into a booth; half walls give a counter line while keeping the front open to visitors.
Do I need weights or will stakes do?
Stakes only work in grass. Most trade show and market pitches are on pavement, where a weight on every leg is the only thing holding the canopy down — and an unweighted canopy in a gust is the most common outdoor failure there is.
How long does a custom canopy take to produce?
Standard production is 6-8 business days after you approve the free artwork proof, with an optional 2-3 business day rush. Transit is added on top and depends on the delivery address.
