items Here are a few of the things I have found are extremely helpful for setting up at events.
So easy to set up (even as one person)! I loved having the half side walls in case I needed separation but still wanted airflow.
CROWN SHADES 10x10 Pop up Canopy Tent Instant Canopy, One Push Setup with 2 Half Sidewalls, 4 Ropes, 8 Stakes, 4 Weight Bags, STO 'N Go Bag, White - Walmart.com
I decided on a cart instead of a wagon because I can stack things more easily. This one moved really easily over different ground. I bought it off Amazon, but I see this one listed in several places.
MaxWorks 80877 Foldable Platform Truck Push Dolly (660 lb. Weight Capacity with Swivel Wheels)
The three-tier works for me as a checkout stand, but I have another option for that as well.
VEVOR 3-Tier Foldable Storage Shelf, 28W x 13D x 36H Inch Folding Metal Rack Shelving Unit, No Assembly Organizer Shelf with 5 Wheels & 4 Hooks for Pantry, Kitchen, Garage, Basement, Black
The 4-shelf set is amazing at adding height. I placed one on top of a 6ft table, and it was great. These fold and transport so easily. Even though they are much lighter to carry than I expected, they still feel sturdy when set up.
VEVOR 4-Tier Foldable Storage Shelf, 36W x 21D x 60H Inch Folding Metal Rack Shelving Unit, No Assembly Organizer Shelf with 5 Wheels & 4 Hooks for Pantry, Kitchen, Garage, Basement, Black
I just bought this to potentially use as a checkout area instead of the 3-shelf unit. I like the adjustable height. I actually ended up using it as a shorter table to open my space up more, and I’m thinking about getting another one.
VEVOR Folding Table, 4 Ft Heavy Duty Portable Fold-in-Half Utility Table, Indoor Outdoor Plastic Rectangle Table with Adjustable Height and Built in Handle, for Party, Dining, Picnic, Camping, White
I haven’t bought this yet, but I want to get a taller chair like this to make getting up and down easier.
Karl home Black Cloth Iron Pipe Folding Director Chair 658309808096
Loved having this fan. Clamped it to one of the bars of my tent.
Ryobi 18V ONE and Cordless 4 Inch Clamp Fan, 15.67 in, 1.01 lb
Before I found the clamp fan, I had planned to get this one, and I still might since it seems to get good reviews from vendors.
RYOBI ONE+ 18V Cordless Hybrid WHISPER SERIES 7-1/2 in. Fan (Tool Only) PCL811B
Batteries for the fans. We use Ryobi tools at home too, so using them at shows made sense for us.
RYOBI ONE+ 18V Lithium-Ion Starter Kit with (1) 2.0 Ah Battery, (1) 4.0 Ah Battery, and Charger PSK1212SB
I had one of these with me last event. As it got just a bit darker I used it as a picture light. It worked so well that I bought 3 more from the event! The clamp is big enough that my tent support can be used. It was perfect!
Gritin 9 LED Rechargeable Book Light, 3 Temps
I used one for the first time last event to hand my original paintings. I loved how it wasn’t a huge investment but looked even better!
White Super Heavy Duty Mesh Tarp Net 7'x10'
I used these to hang the tarp on the tent by slipping them through the grommets of the tarp. It worked really well.
AOPRIE 30 Pcs 4in White Ball Bungee Cords
Used these to hang the art on the tarp. Heavier pieces I used a couple to keep the work level though and distribute the weight.
Sopito 58Pcs Silver White Curtain Hooks 1.2"
These lights work great on the underside of the folding shelves!
Soul Link 6-Pack 9.5" 76-LED Motion Sensor Lights
When I use the grid walls, I use these to hang my work.
