The Difference Between A Fiesta And A Canopy Tent.

A canopy tent is a broad term for any type of steel frame portable structure that is assembled using galvanized fitting connectors. There are many different designs that are available for purchase and can range in sizes, pole diameter as well as, the type of cover included with the tent.

The pole diameter is selected based on the size of the structure. The larger the canopy tent, the larger the diameter of the pole. Canopy tent top cover fabrics can range from poly, shade mesh and canvas to specially treated fire retardant fabrics. The Fiesta Tent falls in the party canopy category and although it is still part of the canopy tent family, it is constructed using brighter more festive colors. Moreover, the Fiesta Tent is comprised of fire retardant polyester oxford nylon material. The fabric is not only strong but is also compliant under NFPA-701, CPAI-84 and California Title 19 fire retardant specifications and standards.

Also in the category of party canopies is the Carnival Tent, which includes the same fabric cover and the Fiesta Tent. Although the Fiesta and Carnival Tent share the same fire retardant cover and festive color options, the frame shape is what truly separates these two portable structures. The Fiesta Tent is comprised of a peaked roof design also known as the A Frame. The Carnival design is much different and contains a center crown fitting with all corner and side tubing leading to the center. This design feature give the Carnival Tent a unique look and allows for more square footage.

When shopping for a canopy tent base your purchase off the purpose of the tent. Canopy tents range in uses and are available as portable garages, car canopies, party tents, tarp shelters and more. The application in which the structure will be used is important in your decision and should be well thought out before a decision is made.
