Tips for cleaning and storing outdoor tents

Friday, March 25th, 2011

 

This past Sunday March 20th was special for many reasons (my son’s 5th birthday) but among those certainly one of the most important was the official beginning of spring 2011. Winter 2010 was one of the worst since such things were tracked and you can almost feel the entire country breathe out a sigh of relief and take in the smell of nature coming alive once again. For trade show vendors who spend their weeks bouncing from one outdoor festival to another, some of the most anticipate months of the year are now here. Before hitting the road though, it might be a good idea to set that tent up now otherwise you may be in for some unwelcome and costly surprises if you wait till the day of the event.

 

Tips for cleaning and storing outdoor tents

 

*Before taking that outdoor tent out for the first trip of the season, go ahead and set it up back at the store. Not only will this allow you to see if there’s been any damage since you last used it, but it will also give the tent a chance to air out. In fact airing it out may not be a bad idea after every trip.

 

*Beware of using any types of detergents or cleaners to remove spots on the tent. First try a sponge and some warm water. If that doesn’t do the trick go to the camping section of your nearest retail store and ask if they have any type of cleaner that won’t damage the material or ruin the design.

 

*Once the tent has been cleaned, don’t be so quick to put it in storage. Anytime the tent gets wet, it’s best to make sure it is completely dry before folding up in order to avoid problems with mildew and rusting on the poles.

 

*Store the tent out of the sunlight. Nothing will hurt a tent like constant exposure to the elements and this includes that sun that is beating down on it all day. When looking for a place to store the tent until it’s needed look for a dry place out of direct sunlight which doesn’t see much in terms of drastic changes in temperature.

 

Unfortunately constant exposure to the elements will eventually take its toll on any type of outdoor display no matter how well taken care of. When that time comes and you find yourself in need of a quality outdoor event tent or outdoor kiosk, Godfrey is here and willing to help.

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

Every summer all across the country at fairs and outdoor trade shows, vendors put their best foot forward as they attempt to sell everything from brand new cars to out of this world corndogs. With cold weather just around the corner many of these events will be moving indoors, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to forget about those tents and booths. In fact right now just may be the most important time of the year for outdoor vendors who are looking to change things up and make a huge splash come spring time.

3 Types of Outdoor Displays

Mushroom Kiosk- Complete with a canopy top and tons of counter space, the Mushroom Kiosk is both functional and professional in appearance. A fabric top and counter wrap only add this kiosks unique design.

Dome Kiosk- Similar to the Mushroom, the Dome Kiosk excels in blending the bottom of the structure with the top in a way that is sure to turn heads. Easily transported and folded down into two cases, the Dome Kiosk is available in 6.5′ and 9′ models.

Event Tents- From the standard 10′x10′ canopy style to the amazing Tent Cluster which is actually four canopy tents combined all under a large market umbrella, Godfrey has turned the idea of an event tent and turned it into a unique work of art. Full color printed pole wraps only add to the customized look of these outdoor displays.

Godfrey also offers a wide variety of inflatable displays and props including the humongous AirFlatable Event Pavilion. With a 40′ diameter it’s any wonder this is one of the largest inflatable pavilions on the market today. Featuring 10 arched doorways, fully digital print skin, a variety of different door ways to choose from, and the same quality custom graphics you’ve come to expect from Godfrey; the Airflatiable is exactly what you want on at your next outdoor event.
