3 Things to Consider Before Purchasing the Best Pop Up Vendor Tent

If you’re a vendor looking to participate in outdoor markets, the commercial marquee is a great choice for those who want a reliable and sturdy shelter to protect merchandise from the sun. When it comes to finding the best pop up folding tent for your needs, there are a few things you need to consider. Size, type, price, color, and durability - are all important factors when making your decision. 

Price

Tents can range in price from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand, so be sure to set a budget before you start shopping. By following these simple tips, you can be sure to find the best vendor tent for your needs. What purpose do you want your vendor tent to serve? Will you be using it once or twice, or many times? If you plan to get lots of use out of it, consider investing more money to be sure you get all the features you need and it will withstand the wear and tear of market season.

Size

It is very important to consider the size of the tent that you need. There are many different sizes available on the market, so make sure to choose one that will be large enough to accommodate all of your vendor equipment and products, but not so large that it’s difficult to move around. Generally booth spaces at outdoor markets are 10' x 10' so be sure the size you are looking at will be a good fit for the markets you've signed up for.

Material

What material do you want your tent to be made from? Tent frames are typically made from either steel or aluminum. Thickened aluminum is more durable, weather-resistant, lighter and easier to set up than steel. Outdoor tent canopy cover are typically made from waterproof polyester fabric to protect you items from the rain and to ensure them won't rip with a gust of wind. The fireproof fabric can withstand the heat from both the inside and the outside. Choose the material that will stand the test of time and that you can hang any items off of them for display.
