Since your canopy has 4 columns part of your price is what you charge for
that size column. Normally Full canopy columns including the topper should
be around 8 feet. So figure what you would charge for 4 8 foot columns.

Also the Full 20 x 20 canopy would have approximately 20 SOP arches each one
20 feet long. What do you charge for a SOP 20 feet long. Maybe you want to
figure 20 - 20 foot sop arches.

So add the column price to the arches price.

Some have found that they like to price Full canopies by the square foot of
dance floor area they cover. Since an 11" balloon is almost 1 foot square ,
many figure that a 20 x 20 canopy would cover 400 square feet and thus
contain 400 11" balloons. So you could use that info and come up with a
price per square foot which would also be the price per 11" helium balloon.
Again add the columns to the price.

These figures are approximate and are well proven ways to assist in your
pricing. You also have to consider any additional setup or tear down fees
(remember you will have to return for the bases and poles).
