When it comes to outdoor events, first impressions aren’t just important—they’re everything. Whether you’re sponsoring a tailgate, hosting a festival booth, or setting up a vendor display, your brand needs to stand out. And there’s one tool that combines function, flexibility, and full-blown visibility: the custom canvas pop-ups or shade tents.
At Cold Fire Signs, we specialize in creating branded environments that speak volumes. From custom signs and outdoor banners to eye-catching pop-up tents, we help you turn every event into a bold statement of professionalism and style. And in San Antonio, where outdoor events are a year-round staple, a well-designed pop-up tent isn’t just useful—it’s essential.
We also offer custom shade canvases designed for maximum impact and functionality. One standout example is a branded canvas we created for a local sports arena, extending over the player entrance tunnel. Printed with the team’s logo and colors, this dramatic overhead display gave athletes a bold, shaded path to run out under—combining team spirit with practical sun protection in a way fans won’t forget.
Why Custom Pop-Up Tents Matter
Think of your tent as your portable storefront. It’s the first thing people see when they approach your space, and it’s often the difference between someone walking by or walking in.
Unlike generic tents, a custom pop-up tent offers a high-impact platform for:
- Brand Recognition: Your logo, tagline, and brand colors are front and center.
- Professionalism: Custom graphics give your setup a polished, cohesive look.
- Functionality: Side panels for sun protection, privacy, or weather resistance.
- Versatility: Use it at trade shows, sporting events, street fairs, school functions, or tailgates—indoors or out.
Big or Small, We Build the Custom Pop-Up Tents You Need
Custom pop-up tents aren’t one-size-fits-all. At Cold Fire Signs, we offer everything from compact 10-foot pop-up tents to large-scale commercial canvas tents designed to host crowds and cover bigger displays.
Small Custom Pop-Up Tents (10′ x 10′)
Perfect for vendors, food booths, local artisans, or small business displays, our 10′ x 10′ tents are lightweight, easy to set up, and make a big impact in a tight footprint. They’re ideal for farmers markets, school events, and festivals when space is limited but visibility is key.
Large Commercial Canvas Tents
If you’re setting up for a multi-day event, grand opening, or high-traffic area, our larger commercial-grade tents offer heavy-duty weather protection and high-end branding space. With extra room for displays, seating, and staff, these tents are designed to scale with your ambition—without compromising on style or structure.
Whether you’re hosting a small activation or anchoring a large corporate event, we’ll recommend the right size and material to match your vision and your budget.
Design Options That Put You in Control
At Cold Fire Signs, we build every custom pop-up tent with your vision in mind. Whether you’re promoting a business, launching a new product, or simply creating a space that draws people in, our design process is fully customizable.
1. Full-Color Canopy and Valances
The top of your tent is your most visible asset. We can print your full-color logo across the canopy and valance edges, ensuring it’s visible from every angle—even across a crowded festival field.
2. Roll-Up or Removable Side Panels
Our custom side panels are available in multiple configurations:
- Full enclosure for weather protection or controlled access.
- Half walls for visibility and airflow.
- Roll-up panels with Velcro or zipper closures for quick adjustments.
- Removable panels to adapt to crowd flow or weather changes.
These panels can be fully printed with your brand messaging, logos, service offerings, or imagery—transforming your tent into a 360-degree billboard.
3. Custom Sizes and Frames
From 10’x10’ vendor tents to sprawling 20’x20’ promotional setups, we offer the size and structure you need. Choose between commercial-grade aluminum or powder-coated steel frames for durability and portability.
4. Accessories and Add-ons
- Flag banners mounted to the canopy for added height
- Custom printed backdrops and table covers
- Weighted feet or sandbag covers for wind stability
- LED lighting kits for evening events
