Canopy & Tent Usages
The term canopy is used broadly to refer to any type of cover from an awning, tent, tarp, and others. Canopies most commonly are referring to the pop up canopies and party tents. It is such a broad term that it can get confusing if you are not specific when talking about canopy items.
The term tents is normally used to refer to camping tents or the pop up tents and even party tents. It all depends on the context that it is used in. Tents do bring a lot of outdoor enjoyment no matter which specific tent types you are referring to.
