Our White Canopy Tents rely on tension to hold the shape of the tent system and are supported by single or multiple center poles in the middle of the tent area and a series of side poles around the perimeter of the tent area. Canopy Pole Tents have ropes and stakes 5′-8′ around the perimeter, and ideally are used on grass or dirt only. With the large variety of sizes, these tents are used for weddings, corporate events, private parties, graduations and commencements, and conferences. If a canopy tent will not work, consider our Frame Tents, Structure tents, or also even AST – American Structure Tent
