Custom inflatables are changing the game for commercial outdoor displays. These innovative structures inflate in minutes to create sleek, sturdy, and visually stunning shelter. Beyond convenience, they serve as a powerful branding tool, offering a large canvas for your logo. Whether you’re hosting a pop-up event, trade show, or outdoor activation, an inflatable tent is a bold, practical choice that’s built to impress.
In this guide, we’ll showcase three types of inflatable canopy tents from Westshade and help you choose the one that best fits your event needs.
What are Inflatable Tents for Events?
Though their arched shape might remind you of camping domes, event inflatables are built for a different purpose. They are mainly used for commercial purposes and can serve as a striking, branded shelter that attracts attention at outdoor events, trade shows, and promotional activations.
Instead of traditional poles, inflatable event tents use a robust, pressurized air frame to create a durable and visually impressive structure. They are typically open-sided and supported by inflatable columns, providing both stability and accessibility while showcasing your brand in high-traffic environments.
To make your setup even more versatile, you can add optional accessories:
- Full Wall: For complete weather protection, extra privacy, and more space for branding
- PVC Window Wall: Keeps things private while giving you a clear view outside
- Roll-Up Door Wall: Easy access with the flexibility to close off space when needed
- Awning: Extends your display area and gives your brand more visibility
- Tunnel: Seamlessly connects multiple inflatable tents for a larger footprint
