Setting up outdoors in Florida
Florida's two seasons for a canopy are afternoon storms and hurricane season. Summer thunderstorms arrive on a near-daily schedule, so a fully printed top and walls keep a booth working through a downpour, and drainage across the roof matters. Hurricane season runs from June to November, and outdoor events are routinely rescheduled, so build slack into order timing. Humidity and salt air near the coast argue for fabric that dries quickly and a frame you rinse after each event.
