Canopies are fabrics or lightweight materials held over something or hung from above to provide cover or shelter underneath. Beach covers are used on beaches to sit, lie or relax. These canopies are available in different designs, colors and materials. The roofs are assessed according to the criteria of economy, durability, portability, wind resistance and ease of expansion. The size and shape of the canopy depends entirely on what you are using it for and how many people will be in it. Dome tents with no sides or floor and square tents with increased height at the edge and corners are the common canopies used on beaches.
The feasibility of a beach canopy is judged on the usable area, the height of the sky, the amount of shade offered and other features such as walls or panels. The removable side panel keeps wind and sun out while providing more privacy. Equally important is the ease of installing a canopy. There are shelters that take less than 3 minutes to unpack and can be assembled by one person. On a beach, the canopies have to withstand strong winds and sometimes light rain.
When it comes to the durability of a beach canopy, the most important factors are the pole construction, pole connection points and the durability of the fabric. Last but not least, the portability of a canopy is another important factor. Along with things like toys, towels, sunscreen, snacks, refrigerators, etc., carrying a bulky top creates a burden and therefore the tops should be easy to carry.
Canopies are available in the market today that come in lightweight, cool and practical backpack bags. Depending on how many people are sheltering in the shelter and how far the shelter needs to be transported, the size and shape of the shelter must be determined.
