Instant Promotion / Aluminum tent frames

Frames built to last.
Sturdier than the competition.

Compare Pro Series and Sport Series pop-up tent frames, then explore our Compact options. Find the right balance of strength, weight and packed size for your next custom canopy.

01 / The core range

Two aluminum frames.
Always hex leg construction.

For a commercial pop-up canopy, look beyond the printed roof. Leg size, bracket material and frame weight all affect your choice. Start with our two core ranges: heavy-duty Pro Series or lighter Sport Series.

Pro Seriesâ„¢ silver aluminum pop-up canopy frame

Heavy-duty construction

Pro Seriesâ„¢

Built for a busy event calendar.

Choose the Pro Series when frame strength is your priority. Its 2-inch hexagonal aluminum legs, aluminum brackets and substantial cross-bracing create a heavy-duty pop-up tent frame for branded events, exhibitions and regular commercial use.

02 / Compact alternatives

Full-size presence.
A more compact pack-down.

Need a 10ft × 10ft canopy but have limited transport or storage space? Explore the Compact versions of Pro and Sport. Compact refers to the packed format—not a smaller event footprint or necessarily a lighter frame. Check folded dimensions before choosing for your vehicle.

10ft × 10ft • compact format

Pro Seriesâ„¢ Compact

Pro construction in a compact format: 2-inch hex aluminum legs, aluminum brackets and pull-pin sliders. A practical choice when you want Pro specifications with a shorter packed frame.

Weights are for the frame only; canopy, walls and accessories add to the total carrying weight. *Warranty terms and exclusions apply. Confirm specifications and available options on the relevant product page.

All pop-up canopies need appropriate anchoring. Frame construction does not make a tent suitable for every weather condition. Follow the setup instructions, use suitable weights or tie-downs, and take down your canopy when conditions require it.

Illumipeakâ„¢ / Integrated canopy lighting

Don’t let the dark
slow sales.

Keep your products, branding and event space visible as daylight fades. Illumipeakâ„¢ brings LED lighting into the peak of your canopy for a clean, professional setup at evening markets, outdoor promotions and after-dark events.

The retrofit kit replaces the existing peak pole on a compatible frame, delivering 360° illumination without hanging separate light fixtures from the frame.

  • Integrated lighting at the canopy peak
  • Adjustable brightness with a dimmer dial
  • 110V adapter, with optional battery power

Choose the kit for your frame model and size. Confirm compatibility before ordering, especially for Compact frames. Battery accessories are sold separately.

Before you choose

Pop-up tent frame questions.

What is the difference between Pro Series and Sport Series?

Pro Series uses 2-inch hex aluminum legs and aluminum brackets. Sport Series uses 1.6-inch hex aluminum legs with plastic and nylon brackets. In the supplied 10ft × 10ft specifications, Sport is 20 lb lighter than Pro. Choose based on your construction priorities, carrying requirements and budget.

Is a Compact canopy smaller when it is set up?

No. Both Compact frames shown here provide a 10ft × 10ft footprint when set up. Their compact format is designed around pack-down and transport. Compare folded dimensions as well as frame weight before ordering.

Can I order a frame without a printed canopy?

Yes. Shop the Pro Series frame or Sport Series frame, or use the Compact product links above. If replacing an existing frame, confirm that your canopy and walls fit the new frame model and size.

Can these frames be used for custom printed tents?

Explore our custom pop-up tent packages to choose a branded setup. Tell us your preferred frame, footprint and wall configuration when requesting your visual and quote, particularly if you need a Compact model.

Why do some links say Pro Expo or Trader Series?

Some product URLs and image filenames retain earlier range names. On this guide, Pro Expo corresponds to Pro Series, and Trader Series corresponds to Sport Series. Check the product specifications when matching a replacement frame or part.
