Your Guide to GetTent Tents and Canopies

Confused about where to begin? Don't worry, we're here to help. At GetTent.com, we guide you every step of the way.

Tents vs. Canopies - Understanding the Difference

The terms "tent," "canopy," "marquee," "pavilion," and "shelter" can be used inconsistently across the industry. Here at CELINA, we define a canopy as a small, lightweight structure designed to shield you from the sun or light rain, usually without sidewalls.

On the other hand, we refer to a tent as a sturdy, temporary structure designed to withstand regular use and moderate weather conditions.

Frame Tents

Frame Tents, known for their spacious interiors and versatility, come with no center poles, giving you total freedom to arrange your space. Whether you're hosting a business event or an outdoor celebration, these tents provide ample room for your unique setup.

Here are some key advantages of Frame Tents:
  • No center poles or obstructions: This feature provides an unobstructed view and flexible layout options.
  • Can have multiple leg lengths the most popular is 7’ or 8’.
  • Can choose to have single tube kit, hybrid frame kit, or double tube kit
  • Free-standing: Frame Tents can stand without additional support, making them versatile and convenient.
  • Aesthetically pleasing: These tents add a dash of elegance to your events.
However, keep in mind that Frame Tents come with more components, and their maximum width is usually up to 40' (12 m), and length can be continued as long as you would like with the sectional frame tents.
