Canopy Replacement Covers – Getting the Right Fit

No matter how good a quality your tent or home canopy is and has always been, eventually you will need to replace it with a canopy replacement cover. Canopy replacement covers are made to supplant the original cover of your outdoor tent without requiring you to buy a new cover. These kinds of covers are widely available online, although sometimes it is easiest to buy your replacement canopy cover from the original vendor who sold you your first and original canopy. Check around and comparison shop before making any final decisions.

When you are looking for a replacement canopy cover, there are some things you will want to be aware of. Of course, you want to make sure that the replacement cover that you purchase matches the size of your old tent poles. If they don’t fit, you will have a problem on your hands, so just be sure to have the measurements available when you go to purchase this new replacement cover for your canopy. Measure in the middle as well as from the sides to get the best and most accurate measurements.

You want to make sure that your canopy replacement covers are very high quality in order for them to serve their intended purpose. They are designed to last long and strong, so look for things like reinforced seams and material that is resistant not just to damp and moisture, but also to rot, mildew, acid, and abrasion. You want to make sure you don’t get wear and tear holes in any part of your replacement canopy cover. Last, pick a color that will suit your purposes, depending on whether you want the canopy to blend in or stand out.

The average life span for a canopy replacement cover is between two and four years, so if you are starting to see little tears or wear spots on your cover and you’ve had it for more than two years, it might be time to replace it. This is not something you want to wait on, as it would be disastrous to have some kind of leaking or falling down of the cover during an actual event. If you are planning to use your old party tent or car park cover during the winter, just check it carefully to make sure it is still functioning. It is better safe than sorry since tarps are easy and affordable to obtain.
