Yellowing

jbutler — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 23:11:01 +0000

Our canopy fabrics are treated with UV inhibitors to reduce the yellowing effects of the sun’s ultra violet rays. They are also treated to be mildew resistant and flame retardant.

NHRA style canopy

jbutler — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:21:30 +0000

The NHRA style canopy is another term for “cantilevered” or “suspended”. The canopy is supported entirely by the trailer with no vertical poles. These are very popular with drag race teams since they allow access for tall & long dragsters. They are also popular with boat racers and vendors.

The outer eave is typically higher (96″) than a standard canopy (86″) and the projection is restricted to a maximum of 15 feet.

Length

jbutler — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:32:28 +0000

The canopy length is the measurement along the trailer. Typically the length at the outer eave (away from the trailer) is the same as the length at the trailer.

Tie downs

jbutler — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 16:38:12 +0000

Attached to the canopy’s outer eave at each rafter to add stability to the canopy. The tie downs can be secured to the ground with stakes or lashed to weights (water barrels, cinder blocks etc.)

Tube storage bag

jbutler — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 16:29:10 +0000

Long tubular bag for canopy storage. The tube bag is used in conjunction with a zippered bolt rope strip and is made to the length of the canopy. It serves two purposes. (1) To lay the canopy out lengthwise on the trailer roof during installation. (2) During tear-down it is laid out on the ground with the front eave of the frame lowered to the ground. The roof is unzipped and slides down the rafters into the bag.

Knock Down canopy

jbutler — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 21:09:24 +0000

A “knock down” canopy is the same as a “pop-up” canopy. These portable canopies set up in seconds and are available in sizes ranging from 5′ x 5′ to 10′ x 20′. We offer custom printed tops and walls.

Larsens, Inc. is an authorized KD Kanopy distributor.

Underlay

jbutler — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:35:41 +0000

A second layer of fabric around the outer perimeter of a canopy roof. This additional layer reinforces the roof at critical stress areas which extends the life of the canopy. The canopy underlay is a standard feature on all Larsens, Inc. canopies.

Mobile Marketing

jbutler — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 22:50:24 +0000

Mobile Marketing refers to a broad array of branding practices deployed on-site at events frequented by potential customers. The key insight of mobile marketing is that companies should be where their target customers are. A great example that most people are familiar with is the traveling Oscar Mayer Weiner-dog car that shows up at events all over the country.

For Larsens, Inc. these events include auto racing, sporting events, trade shows, corporate engagement events held at conferences throughout the country and regional fairs. We provide trailer canopies, awnings, free standing & pop-up tents and a wide variety of banners and backdrops to help our clients stand out at these events.
