Short Porch Baseball Company is a growing U.S. sports equipment brand with a strong presence in the baseball community. Beyond selling gear, they are deeply involved in community events, baseball tournaments, and promotional activities.
As an active outdoor brand, they needed a canopy tent that could do more than just provide shelter. It had to be durable enough for frequent outdoor use, quick to set up and dismantle between events, and customized to reflect the energy and professionalism of their brand.
First Order: From Idea to Production in Just Two Days
About a year ago, Short Porch Baseball Company reached out to Westshade for the very first time.
Their request was clear:
- A tent that could withstand outdoor conditions and constant use.
- A bold, custom-printed canopy that would make their logo stand out.
We recommended two custom 10x10 canopy packages, one with the Y5 commercial steel frame and one with the Y6 commercial aluminum frame, both printed using Dye Sublimation technology.
The process was seamless. While many companies require multiple design rounds and extended lead times, our design team delivered a proof that hit the mark on the very first try. Within just two days, the customer confirmed the order and completed payment, ensuring the project moved forward without delay. With everything finalized quickly, we began production immediately and ensured the delivery remained on schedule. This efficiency and smooth collaboration laid the groundwork for our long-term partnership.
At their baseball events, the canopies quickly proved their value. The sturdy frames and vivid custom prints made Short Porch’s booth stand out on the field, reinforcing their brand identity with every visitor.
The Second Order: A Brand Refresh Without Starting Over
This year, Short Porch Baseball Company returned with a new challenge. They had just refreshed their brand logo and wanted their canopy to reflect the new look.
Here’s the key detail: they didn’t need a full replacement. This simple repeat order is the most powerful testament to the quality of our products. After a year of frequent use, their original Westshade canopy frame was still in perfect condition. All they needed was a new top.
Our design team quickly created a draft based on the new branding and received the customer’s approval. This time, things took a different turn. Even after payment was completed, the customer requested a last-minute design change.
With most vendors, this would mean delays, extra fees, or a hard “no.” But we know branding accuracy is non-negotiable. Because production hadn’t begun, we quickly revised the design at no extra cost, ensuring their new logo was displayed with vivid clarity on premium fabric using advanced digital printing.
The customer got exactly what they wanted: a canopy that reflected their new brand identity—without having to pay for an unnecessary full replacement.
From a One-Time Order to a Long-Term Partner
The Short Porch Baseball Company case study perfectly illustrates a customer's need for both product quality and service efficiency. Our custom tents not only fulfilled their branding requirements but also earned their long-term trust through durability and exceptional support.
This experience shows how the right partner can make all the difference:
- Fast turnaround ensured they were ready for events without stress.
- Flexible design changes allowed their brand refresh to roll out smoothly.
- Durable frames proved to be a long-term investment, needing only a canopy update rather than a full replacement.
