What Is a Custom Canopy Tent with Sidewalls?
A custom canopy tent with sidewalls is a folding event shelter equipped with fabric panels attached to one or more sides of its frame. The walls may be printed with company logos, advertising graphics, product photographs or event messages.
Sidewalls help define a temporary display area, create additional advertising space and organize how customers approach a booth.
Depending on the configuration, buyers can select full-height panels for more coverage or half-height panels for an open counter-style layout.
Unlike standard open pop up tents, these configurations emphasize branded wall coverage and booth layout. They are particularly useful for businesses that need more than a printed canopy roof.
Important: Sidewalls can reduce direct exposure to wind-driven rain or sun from certain directions, but they do not automatically make a tent weatherproof. Enclosed wall configurations also affect wind loading and ventilation.
Choose Your Custom Canopy Tent & Sidewall Configuration
The following configurations provide different combinations of branding space, customer access and enclosure.
1. Open Custom Printed Canopy Tent
An open canopy has a branded roof and folding frame without sidewalls. This configuration allows customers to approach from multiple directions.
It is a practical choice when an open display area and easy visitor circulation are priorities.
Common uses: Outdoor promotions, temporary reception points, sports activities, sampling events and community gatherings.
2. Custom Canopy Tent with One Full Backwall
A full-height rear panel provides a dedicated vertical branding surface behind your sales counter, display table or reception area.
The backwall can feature a large company logo, campaign artwork, product photography, brand colors or sponsor graphics.
A single backwall is often suitable for buyers who want greater visual impact while keeping three sides of the booth open.
Common uses: Product launches, trade shows, promotional counters and outdoor exhibitions.
3. Custom Canopy with Backwall & Two Half Sidewalls
This setup combines a printed rear panel with two half-height side panels, creating a recognizable booth boundary while preserving an open upper area.
Half-height walls can be useful alongside tables for customer interactions, promotional merchandise displays and outdoor retail activities.
Additional support bars may be required for half-height panels. Their compatibility should be checked against the selected frame.
Common uses: Farmers markets, promotional sampling, brand activations and portable retail stands.
4. Custom Canopy Tent with Three Full Sidewalls
A three-wall configuration typically consists of one full rear panel and two full side panels, leaving the front open for visitor access.
This configuration increases the visible printed area and provides a more defined event space. It is suitable for businesses that want a coordinated backdrop across three sides.
Wall attachment, ventilation, anchoring and local event rules must be considered when selecting a more enclosed arrangement.
Common uses: Outdoor exhibition booths, promotional retail displays and branded event reception areas.
5. Custom Mix-and-Match Sidewall Packages
Need a different arrangement? You can discuss customized combinations of full walls, half walls and open sides according to your booth layout.
The available configuration depends on the frame model, compatible wall supports, panel dimensions and attachment system.
Contact our team with a reference image or layout sketch for feasibility confirmation.
Full Sidewalls vs. Half Sidewalls: Which Should You Choose?
| Feature | Full Sidewalls | Half Sidewalls |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage | Extends toward the ground | Covers the lower portion |
| Branding | Large printable wall area | Compact horizontal branding area |
| Visibility | Blocks more of the view through the side | Keeps the upper side open |
| Visitor Access | Access through open sides or suitable entrances | Open communication above the panel |
| Typical Applications | Exhibitions, branded booths and displays | Market stalls, sampling and counter displays |
| Hardware | Compatible wall attachment system | May require support bars and fittings |
Our selection tip: Choose full walls when large printed graphics and a defined backdrop are important. Choose half walls when you need branding below counter height while keeping the display more open.
Custom Canopy Tent Sizes & Compatible Wall Panels
Lovecolour’s illustrated folding canopy range includes several metric sizes suitable for different event footprints.
| Canopy Size | Approx. Imperial Size | Typical Layout |
|---|---|---|
| 2 × 2m | 6.6 × 6.6 ft | Compact event booth |
| 2.5 × 2.5m | 8.2 × 8.2 ft | Small promotional display |
| 3 × 3m | 9.8 × 9.8 ft | Standard branded booth |
| 2 × 3m | 6.6 × 9.8 ft | Rectangular booth layout |
| 3 × 4.5m | 9.8 × 14.8 ft | Extended promotional display |
| 3 × 6m | 9.8 × 19.7 ft | Large event booth |
Important: Match the Sidewalls to the Exact Frame
Nominal canopy dimensions alone are not sufficient to specify a replacement backwall or sidewall.
For example, a nominal 3×3m canopy does not necessarily use a fabric wall measuring exactly 3000mm wide and 3000mm high.
The finished wall size depends on the frame geometry, leg spacing, attachment position, valance arrangement and required ground clearance.
A 3×6m rectangular canopy may require different panel widths for its long and short sides. Always identify which side will receive each wall.
Before production, confirm the exact frame model, measured attachment span, required wall drop and fitting method.
Procurement tip: If you already own a canopy frame and only need replacement printed sidewalls, send photographs and measurements of the existing frame and attachment fittings. Sidewalls from different manufacturers are not necessarily interchangeable.
Custom Printed Backwalls & Sidewall Branding
Printed sidewalls offer additional space for brand identity and event messaging beyond the canopy roof.
Full Backwall Printing
Use a large printed backdrop for brand logos, product images, promotional campaigns, sponsor graphics or service information.
Position key information where it remains visible above or beside any display tables and equipment.
Full-Height Sidewall Printing
Coordinate large graphics across both side panels to provide consistent branding from several viewing directions.
Each panel can carry different artwork or matching elements from the same campaign. Layout and seam allowances should be reviewed for every wall.
Half Sidewall Printing
Half-height panels are suitable for clear logos, short messages, brand colors and repeating patterns.
For better readability, avoid placing too much small text near panel edges or support fittings.
Matching Canopy Roof & Valance Graphics
The tent roof, valance and sidewalls can be coordinated with the same artwork style, creating a unified branded display.
Different surfaces require their own artwork templates and print orientation checks.
Full-Color Heat-Transfer & Digital Printing
Heat-transfer and digital printing methods are available for suitable canopy and wall fabrics. Printing selection depends on fabric specifications, artwork requirements and production feasibility.
For projects requiring close brand-color consistency, provide Pantone references and review the selected fabric and printing method before bulk production.
Exact color appearance can vary with fabric, ink, surface treatment and viewing conditions.
Artwork Templates: How to Prepare Sidewall Designs
Correct artwork preparation is especially important when a branded booth contains multiple printed panels.
- Confirm the frame model and canopy size.
Wall templates should be based on the actual compatible frame, not a generic tent size. - Identify each printed surface.
Mark the roof, front valance, back valance, left wall, right wall and backwall clearly. - Check artwork orientation.
Roof graphics may appear rotated in flat templates. Each logo must face the intended viewing direction after the fabric is assembled. - Allow for production details.
Avoid placing critical text directly on seams, folded hems, attachment points or other construction allowances. - Review connected graphics.
If an illustration continues from one wall to another, check alignment at the meeting edges and allow for panel movement or gaps. - Approve artwork before printing.
Review the individual flat layouts together with a visual mockup of the assembled booth.
Recommended artwork formats: AI, EPS or print-ready PDF for vector logos. High-resolution raster artwork may be suitable for photographic designs after file review.
Do not simply enlarge a small web image for a full printed wall. Large-format graphics need artwork with sufficient source quality.
Sidewall Attachment Systems & Installation
Sidewall attachment should be considered alongside size and printing, particularly for buyers purchasing replacement panels or mixing different wall configurations.
Depending on the frame and selected wall model, compatible attachment solutions may involve hook-and-loop fasteners, straps, clips, support bars or other fitted connections.
The exact connection system should be confirmed before ordering. Not every wall attachment method is available for every frame.
Full Wall Installation
Check how the top edge connects to the frame or canopy valance, how the side edges are secured, and whether any lower attachment is required.
Half Wall Installation
Half-height wall panels may require horizontal support bars and suitable mounting fittings to maintain the intended panel position.
Multiple Wall Connections
When ordering two or three wall panels, confirm how the corners connect and whether any entrance gaps or access openings are needed.
Zippered openings, window panels, mesh sections or other special wall constructions should be treated as project-specific requests requiring feasibility and pricing confirmation.
Before ordering replacement walls: Share the canopy brand or frame model, photographs of connection points, finished wall measurements and preferred panel layout.
Canopy Fabric & Frame Material Options
Oxford Fabric Canopy & Wall Panels
The illustrated product range uses Oxford fabric for folding tent covers. Material specifications should be chosen according to the printing requirement, intended event conditions and budget.
Fabric weight, coating, water resistance and other performance characteristics vary by specification.
For projects requiring verified waterproofing, flame resistance, UV protection or compliance with event regulations, specify the applicable requirements before quotation.
Steel Folding Tent Frames
Steel frame options can be reviewed for suitable event tent configurations, considering budget, frame design, weight and intended usage.
Aluminum Alloy Folding Frames
Aluminum alloy frame options are available in the illustrated range, including models with different tube profiles and folding mechanisms.
Compare actual frame specifications rather than assuming that all steel or aluminum frames have the same structural performance.
The chosen sidewalls must be compatible with the selected frame and any necessary support hardware.
Build a Complete Branded Event Tent Package
A canopy with printed sidewalls can form the main structure of a coordinated promotional event display.
Depending on your project, consider matching the canopy with:
- Custom printed tablecloths and table covers
- Feather flags and advertising flags
- Promotional banners and event backdrops
- Retractable display banners
- Additional printed canopy wall panels
- Compatible transport and storage accessories
Using consistent colors, logo placement and artwork across these products helps create a professional-looking booth.
Lovecolour supports coordinated sourcing for branded event merchandise projects. Exact accessory availability and specifications are reviewed according to the order.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I order a custom canopy tent with only one printed backwall?
Yes. A single printed backwall is one of the available configurations. The exact wall dimensions and fittings must match the selected frame.
What is the difference between a full sidewall and a half sidewall?
A full sidewall provides greater vertical coverage and printed area, while a half sidewall leaves the upper part of the side open for visibility and customer interaction.
Can I print different logos or graphics on each wall?
Yes. Different artwork can be prepared for each printable panel, subject to printing specifications and artwork confirmation.
Can I purchase replacement printed sidewalls without a frame?
Replacement wall requests can be reviewed. Please provide your existing frame model, dimensions and attachment details so compatibility can be assessed.
Will any 10×10 canopy sidewall fit my 10×10 tent?
Not necessarily. Nominal dimensions do not guarantee compatibility. Actual fitting points, wall drop, leg spacing and attachment methods may differ between frame manufacturers.
Can I customize a 3x3m canopy with three printed walls?
Yes. Three-wall configurations are included in the illustrated product range. Wall attachment and material options should be confirmed for the selected model.
Are printed canopy sidewalls waterproof?
Water resistance depends on the specific fabric, coating, seam construction and assembly. State your performance requirements when requesting a quotation.
Are sidewalls safe to use in windy weather?
Sidewalls can increase the area exposed to wind forces. Safe use depends on the selected frame, wall configuration, anchoring and actual weather conditions. Follow manufacturer and venue instructions, and remove or take down the canopy when conditions are unsafe.
Can I add windows, a zipper door or mesh panels?
These special configurations require individual feasibility review. Send your reference images, dimensions and intended application.
