Canopy Top Only or Complete Tent: Which to Buy?

Buy the complete tent if you do not already own a frame, and buy the printed canopy only if you have a frame that our canopy fits. For a 10 x 10, the printed canopy only is $493.99 and the complete kit is $755.99. The canopy only is made to fit our frames, so fit on another frame may vary.

Canopy Top Only or Complete Tent: Which to Buy?: A printed canopy top shown on its own

What each option includes

Order this

A complete tent, which we call Frame + Canopy, is an aluminum hex frame, your printed canopy with valance and a standard carry bag. Printed Canopy Only is the printed top alone, on the same 600 denier polyester printed by dye sublimation. There is also Frame Only, which is the bare frame.

When a canopy only is the smart choice

You own a frame and want a new look. This suits a brand that refreshes its logo, a campaign changes, or a canopy is worn and the frame is still sound. A new printed canopy puts new artwork on the tent you already own for less than a whole new tent.

It also works for a second canopy. If you run two events a week with different branding, a spare canopy is cheaper than a spare tent.

When the complete tent is the better choice

If you do not own a frame, the complete kit gets you everything in one order, made to fit together. The standard carry bag comes with it, and walls, sandbags and a flag can be added at the same time. If a frame fits matters, such as a canopy that has to sit square and tight, buying them together removes the question.

If you need a frame, look at the Custom Canopy Tent 10 x 10, the 10 x 15 or the 10 x 20, and choose Frame + Canopy.

Check the fit before you order a canopy only

Our canopies are made to fit our frames. We cannot promise the fit on another maker's frame, and tents with different leg spacing or a different valance depth may not match. Measure your frame, then email us the brand and model before you order, and we will tell you what we can confirm.

The 10 x 10 frame measures 120 x 120 x 137 in. A 10 x 15 and a 10 x 20 are longer, so a 10 x 10 canopy will not fit them. For the full list of what comes with each option, read what is included in a custom canopy tent.

Re-skin, do not rebuy

A worn canopy or a retired logo does not mean a new frame. If your frame is ours, order a new printed canopy in the same size and keep the frame. If you need walls to match, they are sold on the canopy tent walls page, printed on one side or both.
