Putting up a canopy tent is a great addition to any outdoor event and helps maximize brand exposure. But ensuring the stability of the tent is crucial to avoiding accidents, after all, we don’t want to be the clown on the scene. As a canopy tent manufacturer, ExtremeTent knows the tricks of the trade when it comes to building a stable canopy tent, and below we’ll share our expertise to help you ensure your customers’ outdoor events are a success.
Site Assessment: Choosing the Best Location for Canopy Tent
Just like choosing a house, the location of your canopy tent is equally important. Choosing the right spot is the first step to ensuring your canopy tent is stable.
If a canopy tent is set up “properly” on uneven terrain, it is bound to collapse. Likewise, a canopy tent set up on wet ground may not hold up. When setting up your canopy tent, pay attention to the surrounding terrain. Choose a location with flat ground. Places with short grass and semi-hard soil are best for setting up. If you only have concrete or asphalt, make sure to set up your canopy tent away from any large cracks or potholes.
- Ground type: Different ground types require different fixing methods. Grass: Sturdy ground spikes are the best choice, make sure to insert them at a certain angle for maximum support. Sand: Sandbags are a universal choice, easy to carry, and the weight can be adjusted as needed. Concrete or asphalt: Heavy steel anchor weight plates are the most convenient fixing method, easy to install and easy to carry.
- Terrain: Choose flat terrain and avoid setting up on uneven or sloping places.
- Surrounding environment: Stay away from obstacles that may cause the awning to be unstable, such as trees, buildings or other tall structures. When there is strong wind, although the canopy tent has the ability to resist strong winds, other objects around it cannot be guaranteed not to be blown up by the strong wind and damage the canopy tent.
Correct construction: Lay a solid foundation for the canopy tent
Even the most stable canopy tent needs to be set up correctly to perform at its best.
- Provide instructions: Ask the customer to read the installation guide of the canopy tent carefully and follow the steps to set it up.
- Teamwork: For most canopy tent types, it is recommended to find an assistant to help with the installation during installation to ensure that each step is carried out safely.
- Adjust the height: Make sure all the supporting legs are at the same height to ensure that the canopy tent is level.
- Securely fasten: All connectors, zippers and Velcro, fasteners should be firmly fastened to ensure that there is no looseness.
- Check stability: After setting up, gently shake the canopy tent to ensure that its stability is rated high.
Choosing the right anchor: providing a sturdy support for your awning
Different anchors are suitable for different ground types. Choosing the right anchor is the key to ensuring the stability of the canopy tent.
- Heavy-duty steel plate: Suitable for concrete or asphalt ground, easy to carry and install, and fits the legs of the canopy tent, firmly stabilizing each leg tube
- Ground Spikes: For grass or soft ground, make sure to insert at an angle for maximum support. ExtremeTent offers stakes in a variety of materials and sizes to suit different ground surfaces and awning types.
- Sandbags: Suitable for all kinds of ground, especially sandy ground, easy to carry and install, and the weight can be adjusted as needed. ExtremeTent provides sandbags in a variety of sizes and materials to meet different needs.
Proper setup tips: Make sure the canopy tent is strong and stable
Prepare the ground: Clear the debris and garbage on the ground, make sure the ground is flat to avoid instability of the canopy tent.
Unfold the frame and install the canopy: Position the canopy tent frame in the predetermined position, make sure it is flat and avoid tilting, open half of it and install the canopy tent canopy at this time, fix the Velcro at the four corners, and close the four-sided drawstring buckle. Finally, open the frame to the maximum, and adjust the height of the canopy tent as needed. There are generally multiple height gears for adjustment.
Anchoring: Secure the weights, steel anchor weight plates, ground nails or sandbags to ensure that they are firm, and adjust the position as needed.
Check stability: After installation, gently shake the awning to ensure its stability and adjust the anchoring as needed.
Additional Tips for Windy Weather: Coping with Severe Weather
- Use Guy Lines: In windy weather, use extra ropes and ground spikes to secure the canopy tent to the ground for extra support. ExtremeTent offers tie-down straps in a variety of sizes and materials to suit different needs.
- Monitor the Weather: Stay informed of weather conditions and if high winds are expected, consider removing the awning in advance or taking other windproof measures.
- Regular Maintenance: Inspect anchor points regularly for wear and replace if necessary. Keep anchor points free of debris and moisture to prevent rust, and keep them clean.
