Garden Canopies – Hey Garden, You Look so Vibrant…

Nothing spells fashion and aestheticism more than garden canopies. With a purpose blended to art, garden canopies have become a style statement for every garden. In olden days, the word canopy when attached with garden gave an impression of trees arched overhead to shelter your garden. But the concept differs vividly in the modern days. Now garden canopies or garden tents are meant as temporary coverings required while you are throwing a garden party, enjoying an al fresco brunch or simply reveling in a gourmet dinner with family.

Garden canopies induce you with a few considerations. First, know the measurement of your garden area where you want to construct a garden canopy. Canopies are available in various shapes, ranging from 5x5’, 8x8’, 10x10’ and 12x15’. Depending upon the size and area of your garden, choose the one that best suits your purpose.

Of course, the size and quality of garden canopies also depend upon the purpose – whether you want a permanent structure that will save you from heat and add aesthetic pleasure or you want a temporary one that will allow you to conduct pleasure parties. If you are looking for a temporary and portable canopy, vinyl gazebo canopies can be your best choice. Vinyl garden canopies are highly useful as they come with screening, which becomes a particular advantage in places with rising temperature. If you require a permanent one, on the other hand, canopies of durable steel frames can be a great option.

When you are purchasing a permanent garden canopy, ensure to check the strength of steel and canopy fabric. Since the canopy would be subjected to regular weather detriments, such as, snow, rain, strong wind, UV rays and chilling degrees and scorching mercury levels; strong frames and durable tops, are a must. Look out for canopies with features such as, stamped aluminum side pole fittings, heavy duty tops, attached/braided sliders and guy liners, anodized sectional aluminum poles and sidewall ropes, to hold the canopy intact.

Garden dining canopies, equipped with wind release mechanism, also helps to reduce the risk of damage from strong winds. They come in pack with strong-powder coated steel frames and polyester tops. They are also water and fire resistant.

With a variety of canopies available in an assortment of colors, garden canopies, specially, allow you to bring a vibrant look to your garden. You can choose between wine red, flashy green, peacock blue, or parallel shades of beige, cr̬me, white Рlight and dark Рto impart a new look to your garden.
