A canopy tent is a portable shelter made of fabric stretched over a frame, designed to provide shade and protection from the elements. These tents are commonly used for outdoor events, such as picnics, fairs, and weddings, offering a comfortable space for gatherings. They come in various sizes and styles, making them versatile for different occasions. Canopy tents are typically easy to set up and take down, often featuring a pop-up design for quick assembly. Many are made from waterproof materials, ensuring that guests stay dry during light rain. They can also be secured with weights or stakes to withstand wind.
