As the warmer months approach, it’s the perfect time to refresh your canopy tent to ensure it’s ready for outdoor events, festivals, or backyard gatherings. A little maintenance goes a long way in extending the lifespan of your canopy and ensuring safety and performance throughout the season.
Tip 1: Check for Broken or Missing Parts
Before your event, it's a good idea to open up your canopy at least a month in advance and give it a thorough inspection. Start by checking for any damaged or missing parts, especially the frame. Make sure nothing is bent or broken. Tighten and lubricate all bolts and screws with a dry lubricant every 3 to 6 months. Don’t forget to inspect the truss bars, legs, push pin locking mechanism, foot pads, and all brackets.
Safety is a priority at every event, so a properly working, well-maintained canopy frame is key. If you find anything that needs replacing just give us a call. The high quality canopies we sell are manufactured by Impact Canopy and we offer a full line of replacement parts. You won't need to waste money on an entire new canopy, we've got you covered with any replacement parts you may need. That's just one of the many reasons the commercial quality canopies we sell are worth buying.
Tip 2: Clean Your Canopy Top
Unfold your canopy top and inspect it for any dirt, damage, or mildew. Check the seams and fabric for any tears. If your canopy is soiled, clean both the inside and outside with warm soapy water and gentle household cleaners like Simple Green. Avoid using bleach, as it can damage the fabric as well as the dye sublimation process, causing the colors to fade. Once cleaned, rinse the fabric thoroughly with a garden hose, using a low water pressure setting.
To prevent mildew, ensure the fabric is completely dry before packing it away. And if it’s time to refresh your canopy branding with a new custom-printed top, feel free to reach out to us!

Tip 3: Secure Your Canopy
OK this isn't really a tip on cleaning up your canopy to have it looking sharp and ready 
for the season. This is more of a very important prevention tip, but really important so worth mentioning here.
One of the worst things that can happen at an event is seeing your canopy lifted by a gust of wind. With a little pre-planning, you can avoid this situation. Consider the type of ground where you'll be setting up. For soft ground, Heavy-Duty Ground Spikes are ideal. For concrete or harder surfaces, stabilize your canopy with Impact's Universal Weight Bags or Rubber Weights. Our Universal Weight Bags can be filled with sand, rocks, or any other solid material, while Rubber Weights can be stacked for extra stability.
If you can't find the ground spikes or weights that came with your canopy just give us a call at 800-811-1931- we can quote you on a new set so you'll have them ready to go when your season starts.
