By using a mild detergent and a soft brush, you can rinse down your Caravan Canopy with a garden hose. Just ensure the top is completely dry before you fold and store it. This being said, however, you should avoid scrubbing your canopy top if you have graphics on it.

Caravan Instant Canopies are manufactured to provide instant protection from the elements. They stand securely on dirt, grass or pavement, but to avoid a sudden wind, it is best that they are staked or weighted down. Though they can withstand the elements, please be reminded that Caravan Canopies are not meant to be a permanent structure, so they should not be left unattended for lengthy periods of time.

Standard Caravan colors include royal blue, white, green & red.

Custom colors include black, yellow, orange, gold, turquoise, pink, purple, navy blue, gray, forest green and camouflage.

Yes, they set up quickly, easily and with no tools needed. With our truss design, you can open and close your canopy all by yourself in a matter of minutes. By leaving the top on, there aren't any loose parts. You'll love it!

Caravan Canopy offers a 2 year limited warranty, which protects your canopy under normal usage. Please see our "warranty" section of the website.

There are many factors contributing to the length of time a Caravan Canopy will last. Some of these factors include how often it is used, under what conditions, and how it is stored. A range may be between three to eight years, with the shorter end being those who deploy the canopy as often as three times per day from late spring right on into fall, under any and all conditions, while longer end being second-income couples using the canopy as a vendor's stall at local festivals and fairs. While the frame can be kept going forever, the tops may be replaced earlier for reasons such as a change in corporate image or logo, a need for a different look for a new promotion, or loss through mishap. The fact that we guarantee our entire canopy for two years, (twice as long as our nearest competitor) is testament to the fact that we believe in our product and will back them better than anyone else!
