Canopies have been with us for many years. It is only with time that canopies have taken different shapes and built using different materials. Simply put for modern understanding, a canopy is the fabric used as a cover over tents or patios. Today, a canopy can be used to make your home more spacious, practical and more enjoyable. By using a canopy as an extension of your living room, you make the room look larger, elegant and become more practical as it can hold more people. There is also the comfort that comes when you know you have more space in your house. Canopies are used in a wide range of applications which include gazebos, camping tents and patios.

When it comes to picking the right canopy, you will need to first know what it is exactly you want it for. The reason for doing this is because canopies come in different shapes, sizes and applications. The canopy which a camping enthusiast will pick is different from the one you should use over your patio. You can have a circular, hexagonal, square or even a rectangular canopy. As for the different uses of a canopy, one can opt for aluminum or steel frames. For campers, aluminum is the best option because of portability. If you want to cover your patio, then steel frames are the best as they are sturdy and durable. You should also consider the tarp material. For your patio, you will need hardy material such as vinyl. It is known to last for a very long time and is waterproof as well as UV resistant.
