20 ft x 13 ft Custom Canopy Tents

Use these buying points to choose the right 20 ft x 13 ft Custom Canopy Tents configuration.

1. Matching Your Booth Footprint to the 20 ft x 13 ft Size

   Your event space dictates your tent size. This tent covers roughly 260 sq ft, so it fits a double-wide vendor slot or a shared row up to about 20 ft across. But if your assigned space is a standard single 10 ft slot, this tent overlaps neighboring booths. Go with a 10x10 Custom Canopy Tent for that footprint instead.

2. Aluminum Frame Versus Steel Frame for Your Transport Situation

   Portability matters more than most buyers expect. The hexagonal aluminum frame runs roughly 40 lbs, which a 2-person crew can carry from a parking lot to a setup site without a cart. Steel frames weigh more and resist wind better, which makes sense if you set up in the same outdoor spot every week and never load out alone. For vendors who travel between multiple markets, aluminum is the right call.

3. Sidewall Options for Weather Protection and Added Branding

4. Full Walls Versus Half Walls

   Full sidewalls seal all 4 sides against wind and light rain. That matters most for food vendors and anyone displaying products that cannot get wet. Half walls (about waist height) keep your booth open and visible while still cutting wind at the sides. Order sidewalls as a package with your tent so the dye sublimation graphics match across every surface.

5. When to Skip Sidewalls Entirely

   Skip them if your event runs in calm, dry weather and you want foot traffic to walk in from any direction. You can always add walls later as a separate order.

6. Custom Printed Canopy Versus Blank Canopy at This Size

   Here's the thing: 260 sq ft of blank canopy is a lot of missed real estate. A custom printed canopy at this size puts your logo and brand colors where crowds can read them from 30 ft away or more. A blank canopy costs less upfront and works if you plan to hang Custom Banners and Custom Flags separately for branding. Upload your artwork, review the free digital proof, and confirm every graphic reads clearly before approving production.

Resolution sets the floor for print quality on a canopy this size. Submit at 150 DPI minimum, but 300 DPI at full print size gives you crisp edges on logos and text across the full canopy top and valances. Soft files show up in the proof, and catching them there saves you a reprint.

Accepted formats

PDF, PNG, JPG, AI. Vector files (AI or PDF built in vector) are the best choice for logos because they scale to 20 ft without losing edge sharpness.

Color mode

CMYK, not RGB. RGB files convert to CMYK during production, and that shift can move your brand colors noticeably. Submit in CMYK and what you see on screen is much closer to what prints on the fabric.

Bleed

0.25 in on all edges. Keep logos and text at least 0.5 in inside the trim line so nothing critical gets cut at the seam.
