How to Choose a Custom Canopy for Your Sporting Events

You might need a canopy for your sporting event for many different reasons, just to endure the sun and try to resist a little better the heat, maybe as a way to make a good impression to other teams, to gather up with your own team, etc. 
Having a place to gather up with your friends that are playing under the same name, can make a really bonding experience, walking towards the canopy that has the logo that you’re representing or wearing while you’re out playing on the field can really lift up your spirits and enjoy a well deserved break under the shade it provides. 
But now, what should you choose? Here at American Phoenix, we have 3 different sizes for custom canopies, 10x10, 10x15 and 10x20. Which one would fit best for you? Here we are going to point out and talk a little about what we think are some details or subjects to take into consideration depending on what you want for your canopy 

1. Larger team? Larger Canopy!

Some sports have larger teams overall, up to 14 players, with a few back up players. If you want to have the team and the coach on the canopy, maybe you should resort to one of the larger options, like a 10x20.

2. Weather conditions

Some areas on the US have lots of rainy seasons, and people want the most coverage for their canopies, in these cases maybe a full canopy with the full 3 walls would be a better option. On the other hand, if your area its drier, and has lots of heat, maybe a bit more ventilation would be a better option for you, only having the cover. But again, this is entirely up to your need!
Also, remember that we got carry bags and weights for the canopy as well, so if you’re on a windy area, or always on the go, those could be your life savers!

3. Make sure that the canopy meets your needs for the event.

Interesting enough, some people want sporting canopies, but won’t attend a sporting event! Maybe its just a school reunion where they will try to recruit new players, a local fair where they will raise funds, etc.  For this kind of situations, maybe a regular canopy with flags and a table cover would do the job, and of course a smaller size would be a more optimal choice. Small details can also do a huge change whenever you’re into different kind of events, LED lights or lightbulbs as decoration can make your sporting canopy stand out for sure!

4. Make the most of your sponsors!

Some teams get big enough to get sponsors! And a great way to make them shine is to put them on the side walls or on the flag banners, since they can be changed quite easily, it’s a nice solution for you to show appreciation to the brands that placed their trust in your team!

As final thoughts!
Choosing the right custom canopy for sporting events comes down to:

Selecting the right size based on space and team needs.
Maximizing branding opportunities with custom logos, colors, and graphics.
Adding accessories to enhance comfort, visibility, and stability.
A high-quality, customized canopy will not only provide shade and shelter but also help your team, sponsors, or business get noticed.
