1. If you enjoy catfishing whatever the weather investigate
the benefits you can get from a proper shelter. The
shelters of the past were usually made of leather skins or
grass that were harvested from the fields around a
persons home site. These shelters of the past looked at lot
like our modern day canopies. Today we use modern
fabrics for stronger protection from the elements.

2. A canopy is a lot like a tent, except most canopies are just
the roofs with four or more corner legs holding it up. You
can buy sides for your canopy and then you can use it
much like a tent, but usually not as sealed. Shapes and
sizes vary but you can find the one you need for your
purposes.

3. There are canopies that are attached to buildings that fold
in and out to provide shade and protection from the
elements. There are canopies that serve as small shelters
over hot dog vendors on the city streets or by the sea
shore. The Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts use canopies when
they are at events and camp outs. Weddings, graduations,
barbeques, birthday parties, and the list goes on and on.
You don't realize how much the simple canopy is needed
and used in our daily lives.

4. The original gas lantern came from a time in history when
people found that gas burned a lot brighter and cleaner
than did kerosine. W. C. Coleman was the man that started
a company to mass produce the gas lantern after he saw
the new lantern burning in a store one time while he was
selling products as a salesman. Later, Mr. Coleman's
Company went on to produce sleeping bags, coolers and
all types of out door equipment.

5. The current day canopies are no longer made of left over
animal skins or grass, but high tech fabrics that fight the
elements extremely well, and last many years. Coleman,
just like the other manufacturers make several different
sizes and colors of these canopies and most them can be
set up in as little as three minutes.

6. If the you don't enjoy assembling a tent or canopy with a
whole lot of parts, then you need a modern style "pop up"
canopy. Just get your three buddies to help you pull the
four corners out to unfold the mechanical frame work.
One person will work just fine, but for a quick job, get
some help. The fabric comes already attached to the
frame so after you have pulled the canopy out to its
extended position just raise the corners up and lock the
tabs in place in the holes on the legs.

7. Before you next catfishing venture in inclement
weather, fully investigate all the benefits of the Coleman
canopy.

8. Nothing to do with catfishing but the NFL now licenses the
Colman Company to allow you to purchase a canopy with
your favorite team's colors and name. You can get this in a
10' x 10' canopy and add side curtains of the same colors if
you wish, but you can still get the colors that blend into
the background as well.
