Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
A Canopy Tent is a temporary outdoor structure designed to provide shade and offer protection against natural elements like the sun, wind, rain and insects.
What can you use a canopy for?
- Formal events such as gala dinners, award ceremonies, banquets, wedding receptions, christenings, etc.
- Business events such as market stalls, farmers’ market booths, school fetes, etc.
- Commercial events such as trade fairs, exhibitions, product launches, etc.
A marquee or gazebo by Extreme Canopies starts from as little as $495. The prices vary depending on the size and design. Instant Canopies are inexpensive and easy to set up.
The majority of our canopy frames are manufactured from anodised aluminum, with the exception of our True Blue canopy frames which are made of powder-coated steel. Our roofs and walls, among other accessories, are available in two different material types, i.e., polyester and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
Extreme Canopy offers a manufacturer warranty on the frame and fabric of up to 10 years depending on the product. Please carefully read through our warranty manual for more information. Our Spare Parts Department will be happy to assist in organising replacement parts depending on the damage. Placing a request for a spare or replacement is as easy as placing an order.
Yes. Waterproof, water-resistant, and water-repellent are three ways in which canopies prevent water from entering inside. Think of them as levels.
- Water-resistant fabrics offer the first level of protection. They have a tightly-woven fabric that creates a barrier for water so that it doesn’t enter inside.
- Water-repellent tents offer protection from water at the second level. They have an extra coating of material that facilitates water droplets to roll right off, instead of entering inside.
- Waterproof tents offer the highest protection against water. They have more robust fabric, with a solid layer of durable water repellent (DWR) and can withstand continuous rain.
All canopies offered by Extreme Canopy are waterproof, to keep your guests and your stuff dry.
We recommend storing your canopy in a dry, sheltered area within its protective cover bag. It is advised that you remove the roof from the frame whenever storing or transporting the marquee to avoid damage. After the event, don’t forget to clean your marquee and let it dry completely before storing it away.

All our canopies have Engineer’s Certification of Compliance for structural safety. This means that our product range has been designed and engineered to be lightweight, easy to setup, and extremely safe. Both our polyester and PVC fabrics have been fire-tested. You can download the certifications from our resource center.
Before erecting, first check the frame for any possible damage during transportation. Also, cross check the components against the material list for missing parts. It is recommended that two people set up the tent.
- Place your canopy at the centre of your setup space.
- Grasp the truss bars where “OPEN HERE” is indicated on the frame. Walking backwards, extend the frame up to three-fourth or 75% of the fully opened position. Be careful of any trip hazards. Don’t exert pressure.
- Next, with one person grasping either corners of the roof, pull it over the partially extended frame. Align all four corners of the canopy canopy top with the corner of the frame legs.
- By slowly moving backwards, open the frame completely.
- Push up on the truss bars and lock the frame securely in position.
- Next, tighten the fabric with tension straps.
- Finally, raise the front and back legs to the desired frame height.
To dismantle, follow above steps in reverse order.
Our canopies are made from high-quality materials and are engineered to be both durable and long-lasting. To further extend the life of your marquee we recommend storing them properly and handling with care, avoiding long-term exposure to elements, and performing repair and maintenance audits annually.
