"I live in a windy area, what can I do to secure my pole canopy"?
We suggest getting foot pads(see accessories page)with all the outdoor canopies. Foot pads attach to the bottom of each leg. There are three holes on the bottom plate of each foot pad which enable you to drive a canopy stake(see our accessories page) or concrete screws to secure it to most surfaces.
*note: our pop up tents have built in foot pads and come with canopy stakes

What tarp cuts out most of the light and is the coolest?
Our silver canopy tarps, because the silver is made with a black mesh inside of the material. The silver does not allow any light to pass through. Our white, Red Green, orange and yellow tarps are translucent. Light (not U.V. rays) will pass through. You will get the natural light. Our shade screen/mesh tarps has 73% shade protection and does allow water to pass through.

Do you have canvas?
Yes. We have high quality canvas that can be purchased upon request.
