When you’re shopping for a custom canopy tent, it’s easy to get drawn in by low prices, especially when companies advertise steel frames as a “budget-friendly” option. But what those ads don’t mention is how much you’ll end up sacrificing in quality, durability, and ease of use. A steel frame might save you money upfront, but it’s not built with your long-term success in mind. That’s why we only offer aluminum framed canopy tents, because your business deserves a setup that’s made to last.
One of the biggest differences between steel and aluminum is weight. Aluminum canopy tents are much lighter, making setup and tear down quicker and less of a hassle. If you're vending at events, managing a race team booth, or setting up for multiple markets, the last thing you want is to wrestle with a heavy steel frame. Lighter weight means less stress on your team and fewer chances of injury or damage during transport.
Durability is another major factor. Aluminum frames hold up better over time, especially in tough outdoor conditions. Steel can bend easily, rust, and warp, especially when exposed to rain or salty air. Aluminum on the other hand, resists corrosion and stands strong through repeated use. If you’re investing in a custom-branded tent to represent your business, you want it to stay sharp and professional through every event.
At Logo Display Solutions, we only use high-quality aluminum frames for all our custom canopy tents. It’s part of our commitment to providing products that look great, work hard, and stand up to the demands of real-world use. Whether you’re ordering a canopy tent, branded table cover, promotional flag, or full event setup, you can count on us to deliver gear that’s made to last, so you can focus on what’s important, growing your brand!
