Frequently Asked Questions: Canopies & Canopy Tents

How do I choose what size canopy tent I need?

Size is always one of the most important considerations when choosing a canopy. Whether it’s your number of guests you’d like to shelter or the dimensions of your car, you should keep your size requirements in mind as you shop for canopies. Once you know what size will fit your space and your usage purpose, you can browse the options to find the canopy that suits your design and style preferences.

Because there are so many different types of canopies available, it’s important to choose the style and functionality that best meets your needs. How do you make the choice? Start by thinking about how you’ll most often be using your new canopy. Will you be entertaining large groups? Do you want a carport canopy for the primary purpose of sheltering your car from the elements? Or is your primary goal your canopy to block the sun while you eat, entertain, or relax outside? Your intended use will help determine the best canopy for you.

Other outdoor structures such as gazebos work well covering outdoor patios, hot tubs, outdoor kitchens and living rooms. Additionally, the right outdoor seating sets make all the difference. You can explore Sam’s Club's variety of patio and outdoor furniture.
