Quick answer: Before ordering a custom canopy for an LA market or pop-up, confirm your event's space size, decide what to print on the top and valance, add a back wall if your booth backs onto a walkway, and plan for weights — many events require them.
1. Check the space size
Most markets and street fairs rent spaces sized for a standard pop-up canopy, but rules vary. Check your vendor agreement before you order so your canopy fits the space.
2. Print where people look
The valance — the strip around the edge of the top — is at eye level from across the aisle. Put your business name there in large letters. Use the roof panels for your logo so you can be spotted from a distance.
3. Add a back wall
A printed back wall blocks the view behind your booth and doubles as a backdrop for customer photos. Side walls help on windy or sunny days.
4. Plan for weights
Many LA events require canopy weights on each leg. Ask your event organizer what they require before your first market.
5. Match the rest of your booth
A printed canopy looks best with matching banners, feather flags and stickers to hand out.
6. Order before your first event
