Canopies Let you Party all Summer Long

The great British summer can be unpredictable, to say the least, and you’ll most often find rain threatening to fall when you’ve planned outdoor celebrations – a family BBQ or drinks on the lawn. But there’s no need to move the party indoors this summer; just install a stylish canopy to shield you from the elements. Take a few moments to read our handy guide to canopies, to see if they’re the right choice for you this year.

Multifunctional Kit

Canopies are great for protecting your family or guests from the rain whilst celebrating outdoors, but they have many more uses too. Take your canopy with you and enjoy a picnic by the beach or on a cliff top overlooking the sea – you’ll still be able to soak up the sun whilst enjoying protection from sunburn and pesky mosquitoes. Craftspeople and local traders use canopies to set up stall at their local market or village church, protecting their stock from the rain. You could even use canopies for a garden wedding this summer. But how do you choose the right type of canopy for you?

Choosing the Right Canopy

There are a number of different types of canopy to choose from and it helps to be informed before you buy! Here are some of the most popular types available:

• Gazebo canopy (fixed location)

• Square canopy

• Triangular canopy (also known as a ‘sail’ canopy)

• Baby canopy

• Beach canopy

• Party canopy

Whilst the use for some of these canopies is fairly self-explanatory – for example, baby canopies can be used to shield babies from the sun and are particularly useful on the beach – others require a bit more knowledge. A gazebo canopy is used to cover an open-air structure and is ideal if you’re looking for something permanent. Triangular canopies are usually used in the summer months, fastened down by rope and providing temporary shelter, whilst square canopies are popular with traders and those looking to set up an outdoor display. The type of canopy you choose will depend on your requirements and your available budget.

Shopping online for your canopy is a great idea, and you’ll find a huge range of styles to choose from – there’s something to suit all budgets! Make sure you buy a canopy which has been manufactured from sturdy material and comes with a warranty –it goes without saying that you should shop around on several different websites to compare prices before you make a purchase; there’s nothing worse than buying a canopy and seeing it cheaper elsewhere.
