Athletic Field Covers Help the Environment as Well as Protecting Your Sporting Event

 
Athletic field covers have become very popular in more recent years due to rainouts of sporting events creating far too many game cancellations. Rain can create such conditions that, without high-quality field covers, the ensuing mud and muck can postpone a game until a much later date. At Canopies and Tarps, we've designed very high-quality covers and tarps that not only help save the day in outdoor sports, but also help the environment.
 
Football Field Tarps
 
While the older days of football meant watching football players running in mud (and sometimes snow), a sudden deluge of rain no longer has to ruin the field with our quality tarps. We sell football field tarps both small and very large, even though they're easy to unfold in a manner of minutes. That's because we placed web loop handles around the tarp edges to ensure a quick unfolding procedure.
 
These are made to resist ultraviolet light as well, so they're environmentally friendly once the sun comes out. The polyethylene in the tarp ultimately helps prevent deterioration from the UV rays.
 
Baseball Field Tarps
 
We also have baseball covered (literally), and our tarps are made of the same materials as ones for football fields. These tarps also come in small and very large sizes that cover part or all of a baseball field when a major rainstorm comes in. Imagine going to see your kids at a Little League game and being able to see the game finish out the same day thanks to our tarps being so easily removable. If you live in rainy country, you'll appreciate having our tarps around to avoid those baseball games being rescheduled to a far-off date.
 
Covering Everything Else on the Field
 
We also cover mounds, home plates and bases on your baseball field, which can also get very muddy in a rainstorm. Our covers also cover considerable space around these areas so the immediate vicinity can stay clear of dampness. Once the game resumes, the covers essentially prevent injury, because slippery mounds, plates and bases can cause players to slip and fall.
 
It's Not Always About the Weather
 
Tarps and covers for athletic fields can go beyond protecting from rain or snow. Sometimes it's about privacy, especially during baseball practice. We also sell windscreen covers that can be conveniently set up around the borders of a playing field. This can prevent people from standing and looking in on the game. And to prevent tall gawkers from looking over the top, our covers are as high as 9 feet.
 
Contact us to see our full inventory of canopies and tarps for all occasions beyond sporting events. Canopies and Tarps is there for you in providing American-designed covers that are guaranteed to help protect you and your event from Mother and Human Nature.

Quick Tips for Selecting Containment/Pond Liners for Your Property


Have you been thinking about building a containment pond or water garden on your property? If so, there is a good chance that you may have a few questions about which containment/pond liners to buy. With that said, perhaps the following tips will help answer some of your questions:

Tip #1: Select the Right Type of Pond Liner

Containment/pond liners are traditionally made with a select group of materials, each with their own advantages. Among the list of assorted materials are polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene polypropylene diene monomer (EPDM), butyl rubber and high density polyethylene (HDPE). You’ll want to ideally select one that is suitable for your region’s climate and your overriding purpose.

Take our heavy duty polyethylene pond liners for example. They are non-toxic, puncture resistant, hydro-static resistance and long-lasting. They also come in different sizes. Those sizes tend to range from 30 feet wide x 20 feet long to 100 feet wide x 120 feet long. Each one is 20 Mil thick. Thus, it would be ideal for use with containment pond and water garden installations.

Tip #2: Calculate the Pond’s Dimensions Carefully

It is also important to carefully determine which size containment/pond liner is needed before you place an order. That’s because containment/pond liners tend to be custom made to the customer’s specifications. Therefore, you’ll want to get it right the first time.

In most instances, its best to measure the area’s depth, width and length twice, just to be sure. Afterward, add at least 3 to 6 inches to your figures to allow for any weather related fluctuations and shortcomings. If you are still hesitant about the size liner needed, you may want to refer to our online measuring chart.

Make Your Guests Feel Comfortable With Party Tents



An outdoor party is always fun to attend, but the weather can make your party a disaster.  The best way to prevent a ruined wedding, birthday party, or family reunion is to include a party tent or gazebo in your party plans.

Party tents come in various sizes and colors, and are available with specialized features such as windows and fire-retardant covers.  With the endless color and style choices available, you are sure to find the perfect tent to make your event a success.

Tents and canopies provide the perfect back up plan for inclement weather, from the harsh summer sun to rainy spring afternoons.  When you prepare for the weather and provide a tent for your guests, they will enjoy the event even more, and feel that you are a gracious host.  Of course, no bride wants to have her hair and makeup ruined by a sudden storm, so a tent or canopy is also for the guest of honor’s comfort as well.

A party tent can easily fit into your party’s décor, and many tents have decorative tie-backs, covered poles, and colorful fabric options.  It can be easy to add ribbons, flowers, or a delicate chandelier to the tent to make the space even more personalized.  It is also simple to drape elegant fabric from the sides of the tent, softening the feel and ambiance.  No matter what type of party or event you are hosting, there is a canopy or tent option that will make it just perfect!

To determine what size and material would be best for your event, contact us today.  We can have your tent ready quickly, and shipped fast to your door.  Don’t leave your guests out in the cold, wind, or rain – find the perfect tent or canopy to make your event a success today.

Are you a Picker? How Portable Garages can Protect your Investments


From American Pickers to Storage Wars, America is in love with collecting, re-purposing and selling the items they find- sometimes in more bulk than may have been planned. Are you a picker?

Anyone who hunts, picks, scavenges, or 'finds' treasures understands the need for storage space. It s hard to walk away from a find, even when you know that space may be limited and storage is at a premium. Totes and boxes are a great way to sort and protect, but what happens when the space runs out in your home or shop? 

Expensive storage lockers are a solution, although one that could potentially cost you as much as you stand to make through selling your items. With a price range of $60 to $225 per month as an average rental rate the cost can add up quickly. The travel distance between your home or shop and the unit can cost you valuable time, and the additional hassle of never having on-hand what you need can quickly become frustrating. Another issue is the 'out of sight, out of mind' conundrum- boxes located at another site become last in thought when you are considering your stock.

Are you looking for an affordable, permanent solution to storing your pickers' wares?

Consider the use of portable garages. For the same cost (or less) of a rental space you can own a portable garage that will keep your items close at hand and protected from the elements. Available in a wide range of sizes, and with rounded and angled tops, there is a size that will fit your needs. Expecting to need a mobile solution? The garages are also portable, allowing you to use them for market or sale weekends off-site. A full selection of colors and shapes will also allow you to inject your own personality and flair into your space.

Need help deciding what size and shape will best suit your needs? We invite you to contact us and let us help you determine what will work for you...then you can sit back, relax and wait for your items to arrive at your front door. Happy picking!
