Explain your necessities before finalizing the canopy. Ensure that your guests should not face discomfort when they walk in or out of the canopy.

For instance, you want a canopy for some fair where you are going to set up your vendor booth; you can have a canopy with single door. You need to ensure that your tent stands out from the rest. Make side walls in your canopy for having extreme protection from the weather.
Side walls can be made with polyester or mesh walls for keeping insects away from your tent during night time and let the air keep flowing in. You can also add some graphics or banners to your tent if you are on some professional activity.
Material
