What is the advantage of an aluminum frame vs. steel?
Aluminum frames are lighter than steel, making them easier to transport and set up. Despite being lightweight, they are still incredibly strong and importantly they are resistant to rust and corrosion. Steel frames offer a worse strength-to-weight ratio, and they are also susceptible to weathering.
Are Rocket Canopy Tents backed by a warranty?
Yes! Our Pro Series tent frames are backed by a 5-year warranty and our Sport Series tent frames are backed by a 2-year warranty. This warranty covers any manufacturer defects but does not cover accidental damage from adverse weather conditions. Our tent canopy tops are backed by a 1-year manufacturer warranty.
Is the canopy top material durable?
Yes, Rocket Canopy tops are made from high-quality, heavy-duty 600D PU-lined materials designed to withstand the elements. Our fabrics are resistant to UV rays, tearing, and general wear and tear, ensuring a long lifespan for your canopy. They are backed by a 12-month warranty.
Is a frame cover or bag included?
Yes, each Rocket Canopy comes with a protective storage cover but we do recommend upgrading to our Wheeled Storage bag for easy transport and to fully protect the frame from scratches and damage during storage.
How do I secure a Rocket Canopy in windy weather?
To secure your Rocket Canopy in windy conditions, we recommend using tie down ropes and stakes when setting up on grass. For extra stability, or for hard surfaces, we sell a range of water filled weights and metal weights plates to help keep your canopy secure. See the Accessories section for more information.
Can I adjust the frame height?
Yes, Rocket Canopy frames come with adjustable legs, allowing you to easily raise or lower the canopy to your desired height. There are 5 height settings, and the Pro Series has a minimum head clearance of 72.8” on setting 1, and 87.4” on setting 5. We recommend using the tent on height setting three.
Are spare parts available?
Yes, we offer a full range of spare parts for all Rocket Canopy models. Whether you need a replacement for a leg, bracket, or canopy top, our support team can help you get what you need and all parts are available to ship within 24hrs.
Where can I find size & weight information?
You can find detailed size and weight specifications on each product page under the "Specifications" tab. If you need further assistance, feel free to contact our support team via email, phone or Live Chat.
Are Rocket Canopy tents waterproof and fireproof?
Yes, our canopies are made from waterproof 600D PU-lined material, ensuring protection from rain. They also meet fire-retardant standards CPAI-84 and NFPA701, offering peace of mind during events or gatherings. There is an FR label sewn into each canopy that states the material meets the requirements of CPAI-84 and NFPA701 standards.
How do walls attach to the tent?
All canopies have 2” Velcro on the inside edge as standard. When you purchase walls for your tent simply attach the Velcro on the wall(s) to the Velcro on the canopy, then secure the 2” Velcro tabs around the frame legs for extra stability. Walls can typically be added or removed in under two minutes.
Are setup instructions included?
Yes, we provide a printed setup guide with all Rocket Canopy tents, and you can also watch a setup guide video here.
