Big Tent

Beautiful Outdoor Shelters

3

I’ve notice that the BEST vendors at outdoor fleas and shows always have canopies or tents. I’ve wanted to get one to have on hand as our antique mall does monthly sales in the parking lot.

There’s an online company, a1tarps, that has everything you can imagine from wedding tents and party tents to carports and kennel canopies, from the super huge to the beautiful and cozy cabanas!

This massive party tent is 40 feet long by 24 feet wide. Not a bad price, either — if you hold a lot of big events, this will pay for itself in no time.

Perfect for a wedding.
I like the red striped canopy best — although there’s a blue stripe and a yellow stripe that would work, too.  Any of those would really stand out at a sale.

How beautiful for garden party! Love the scalloped edge of the valance.

And just look at this adorable thing! It’s just one of many kids play tents.

This racy little 10×10 pop up number should suit me fine, don’t you think? LOL. I love it.

    It’s not cute, but I got one on sale 2 years ago at Sports Authority for $59. Keep your eyes peeled!
