Question? How long have you been in business?

Answer: We have in business for OVER THIRTY YEARS designing parts and making canopies.


Question? Is the tubing metal or what?

Answer: All of the tubing for the canopies is metal.


Question? Why do your canopy kits do not have the tubing with them?

Answer: The answer to that question is the cost of shipping all that weight. A 10x15 kit with out the tubing and with the shipping costs about $132.90. The same canopy with the tubing would cost with shipping $261.65. You save about $128 to buy tubing with.


Question? What kind of tubing do I buy for the canopy?

Answer: Most popular size of tubing is 1 inch EMT that is measured by the inside diameter of the tubing. The out side of the tubing measures about ONE INCH AND A 1/8 OD.


Question? I have seen other canopies with larger tubing, is this stronger.

Answer: NO. That tubing is only 18 gauge tubing and one inch EMT is 14 gauge tubing. 18 gauge tubing is thinner than 14 gauge tubing. The higher the gauge the thinner it gets and the weaker it is. Tubing is gauged like wire the thinner it is the higher the gauge.


Question? Do you have white tarps?

Answer: YES


Question? Do you have shade screen for sides & shade screen canopy tops.

Answer: YES


Question? Do your fittings have lock down bolts on them.

Answer: YES. Except the 120 degree 1 3/8 in. ID fitting.


Question? How far over the edge of the frame does the valance hang over the edge of the canopy frame?

Answer: 8 to 10 inches all the way around the canopy frame.


Question? What is the finished size of the main tarp with the valance?

Answer: The finished size is about FOUR inches shorter. A 10 X 10 will measure 9 feet 8 inches X 9 feet 8 inches + or - an inch or two.


Question? What do your part numbers mean.

Answer: The part number tells us what kind of part you have. Weather it is pitch roof, flat roof and the size of tubing you have.


Question? How long have you had your 1-800 number.

Answer: Almost 25 years or more now.


Question? How come your part numbers aren’t the same as every body else.

Answer: They tried to use them over 15 years ago when they first started to make them and they went as far as to use the cover of our catalog. We sued them for violations of our copy rights and trade marks. (AND WON) (One win for this side of the water.)


Question? If every one else has the same part number what does that mean.

Answer: It could mean that they started building canopies TEN TO FIFTEEN YEARS after we did.


Question? I have see advertised 20 X 30 canopies with out a center leg do you build one like it.

Answer: Yes we do but we will send you the fittings for the center legs any how. After THIRTY YEARS OF BUILDING AND USEING OUR CANOPIES WE WILL NOT USE ONE WITH OUT CENTER LEGS. If you ever seen what the wind does to one with out the center legs you would know why.
