Bespoke Canopy for Champagne Fire Truck Event Stand

The Challenge

Champagne Fire Truck, led by Rich Reynolds, operates a unique mobile event stand serving champagne from a converted fire engine. While visually distinctive, the setup lacked sufficient presence at events and offered limited protection from the elements. The key challenge was to create a canopy that enhanced visibility and provided reliable shelter, while working around the unconventional requirement of using the fire engine’s existing ladders as the structural framework.

The Solution

Canvasman designed and manufactured a fully bespoke canopy tailored to the vehicle’s structure, following detailed measurements and planning. The final solution integrated directly with the fire engine ladders and was produced at the Baildon workshop as a complete system, including integrated tensioning straps for secure installation and printed canvas branding to elevate the stand’s appearance at events.

The Result

The finished canopy enhanced both the functionality and visual impact of the Champagne Fire Truck, enabling it to operate effectively in all weather conditions while standing out more prominently at events. The result is a durable, practical, and eye-catching setup that complements the business’s distinctive character.
