When buying a canopy, the frame type is one of the most important decisions. It affects how strong, durable, and easy to use your canopy will be. Caravan Canopy offers different frame types depending on your needs—whether it's for a casual backyard party, a farmers’ market, or a long-term business setup. Here’s a simple breakdown to help you decide:
