Whenever you think about canopy tents, it’s likely you think about covering objects outside to protect them from the weather; things like snowmobiles, cars, tractors, ATVs, toys etc.  However, canopy tents can also be used to protect people.  When protecting people, they are often referred to as party tents, event tents or even screen house tents.  But they are basically the same thing.  They

 both put a roof over something that needs to be protected from mother nature.  Canopy tents are available in many different sizes, shapes, colors and prices.  They also are available with different features such as side walls and screens to keep out the bugs.  They can be used to help you celebrate weddings, graduations, and other special events with loved ones.  They can even be used by your hunting party this fall to celebrate the weekend hunt.  Screened canopy tents can provide excellent protection from bugs at night when you and your buddies are gathered near the campfire beside your tent, having a few beers and cleaning ducks, geese or pheasants.  

Designed for durability, functionality, and portability, the Swiss Gear Smart Shade 10-by-10-foot Screen House sets up and folds down in minutes. Lightweight and easy to carry, the screen houses tubular steel frame is strong enough to provide a rigid shelter that withstands strong winds.

My wife Kay and I will be waking up early on Sunday morning April 25th, 2010 to attend a baptism in southwestern Minnesota.  The baptism will be for my 8 week old grand daughter McKenna Kay.  My son Ryan will be the godfather and my daughter Lisa will be the McKenna Kayegod mother.  This is an important event for our family.  One of many we will be attending this spring and summer.  Every time we host an event lik this or go Dual Identity 12' x 12' Screen House and Canopy Tentto an event like this we end up spending time in an Event Tent.  They are available in various colors, sizes and styles.  Some are used to provide protection from the sun or rain while others provide protection from insects or serve as a play area for small children.

The Dual Identity 12′ x 12′ Screen House and Canopy Tent from Gigatent provides both protection from the sun and rain and protection from insects because it has a ‘Dual Identity’.  When you want shade you can just put up the gazebo and when you want sun and bug protection you can simply combine the gazebo with the durable screen. You can even use the screen all by itself to create a bug-free zone for sunbathing or a children’s play area.

If you are like me and McKenna and planning to attend lots of events this spring and summer like baptisms, high school graduations, confirmations, wedding receptions, birthday partys etc, consider getting an event tent instead of renting one and also give some thought to getting a Dual Identity 12′ x 12′ Screen House and Canopy Tent.  You won’t regret it.  And remember, The Joy is in the Journey.
