Buying Guide

Match sidewall size to your canopy frame

Measure your canopy (10x10, 10x15, 10x20, 12x12) before buying so sidewalls from brands like ABCCANOPY and SCOCANOPY fit without gaps

Check fabric performance: waterproof and UV protection

Look for waterproof fabrics and UV-protection tags—both ABCCANOPY and SCOCANOPY list these attributes to improve weather resistance and sun blocking

Choose single panels vs. multi‑packs

Decide whether you need a 1-pack sidewall for a specific bay or multi-packs (2–3 panels) to cover multiple sides or larger canopies

Color and light considerations

Lighter colors like white or beige reflect heat and brighten space, while darker or colored walls (e.g., sky blue) change light and privacy levels

Verify attachment method and accessories

Confirm how sidewalls attach—Velcro, grommets, or ties—and whether compatible accessories (sunwalls, accessory listings) are available from the same brand
