If you are hosting an elegant outdoor wedding and plan to use a 10 x 20 white party tent gazebo canopy with sidewalls as a covered serving center for your buffet or a sun shelter for the band to play under, it does not need to become a single-purpose purchase. After the big event has passed, your sun canopy need not be consigned to take up space and collect dust in the garage. There are plenty of creative uses that you can put your canopy to year-round.
Many smaller outdoor gatherings can benefit from the shelter of a 10 x 20 party tent with or without the sidewalls in place. They make great sunshades over the picnic table and are portable enough to take with you on camping trips or daytrip picnics as well. If you camp with a trailer, pitching the sun tent gazebo in front of the trailer provides much better shade and protection than a rollout awning. Attaching the sidewalls creates a wonderful sun porch addition, often more than doubling the living space of the trailer alone. Kids or extra guests can comfortably sleep outside in the tent space created, safe from the elements and free from the cramped bunk space found in most trailers. The tent could also be used as a carport canopy if you need extra room for another vehicle, but want the car to be protected from the outside weather.
One of the more creative uses for your party tent gazebo, and one that will make you a local hero and create lasting memories for your kids, is to use it as the centerpiece of a 1001 Arabian Nights style sleepover for younger children and their friends. Simply assemble the party tent in your back yard, complete with the sidewalls, and go wild with decorating it in an Arabian Sheik motif, complete with rugs on the floor and swords on the walls (of course, you should use Halloween swords and axes from the local costume or novelty store as opposed to the real ones, and hang them on plastic chains from the support posts of the tent). Run an extension cord from the house and get an inexpensive faux fire pit with painted paper streamers blown by a fan to simulate a campfire in the middle of the room. Your fantasy desert tent can be custom decorated to delight either a girl’s or a boy’s sleepover.
These are just a few of the useful and creative uses you can put your 10 x 20 white party tent gazebo canopy with sidewalls to after it has served its intended purpose for someone’s Big Day. Other uses are as many and varied as your imagination will allow.
