One white sidewall hung down the open side of a pop-up canopy, reaching from the eave to the ground beside a telescoping leg, with the canopy frame visible above it

Tent Sidewalls

Tent Sidewall Rentals

Walls turn a canopy from shade into a room: they stop the wind off the water, hide the back-of-house and keep a desk dry when rain comes in sideways.

Specifications

Hooks, not hook-and-loop.

These hang on hooks. It is the row a client comparing two suppliers goes looking for, which is why it is in the specification table rather than buried here. And because the panels are cut for the canopies we rent, there are no adapters to find and no gaps left at the corners — the sizing question is answered by telling us which canopy you have booked.

When a panel goes on

Five reasons a panel goes on.

  • A single wind break

    One panel on the exposed flank is often all an outdoor booth needs. One panel is an order we will take.

  • Hiding the back-of-house

    Stock, cases, cabling and the kettle. A wall across the back turns the untidy half of a booth into something a guest never sees.

  • Driving rain

    A roof handles water coming straight down. Water coming in at an angle is what soaks a registration desk and that is a wall problem rather than a roof problem.

  • Making a lockable space

    Four panels close a canopy completely, which turns it into somewhere kit can be left rather than somewhere it has to be watched.

  • Low afternoon sun

    Late light comes in under the eaves at exactly the height a screen or a display sits at. One panel on the west side fixes a problem no amount of roof will.

What the walls change

An open canopy lets wind through. A closed one catches it.

This is the part that has to be planned rather than discovered. Every canopy that goes out with walls goes out with ballast on every leg. On a genuinely windy day the right answer is often to take a panel off instead of adding more weight.
