FAQ's Tents

Please read if you are renting a tent

Tents not reserved 6 -10 days in advance will almost always have to be weighted and not staked due to the turn around time involved in marking the property by JULIE. Only certain sizes can be weighted.  Water Barrels can only be used on certain size tents so please call if you have a short time frame.

If tables and chairs are ordered with tents set up is included on tent only tables and chairs are an additional fee per item and you can add that service through the linked page.

Linens are available -please call or see general linen section. Heating, dance floors and staging are under tent extras.

Tents should not be set up adjacent to homes.  Room should be left between the house and the tent.  If you require a set up closer than 10 feet from the side of your building please advise us and we will send you the appropriate liability waiver.

FAQ's Tents
The fist type of tent which we carry is a frame style tent.  It is characterized by a freestanding frame that is self-supporting and the top is placed over the frame.  This tent has ropes to hold it in place and they are not necessarily for support. This is referred to as a frame tent.  We build the tent like a house with a roof made of beams that hold up the top. This is the style you need for over driveways and patios as well as on concrete or hard top. One other nice feature of our tent is the adjustable leg height if needed.  We do offer two styles adjustable and non so please request the adjustable if you are going over what could possibly be uneven terrain.

 

There second type is considered by us a canopy.  It has a top that has interior poles, perimeter poles and ropes that are needed to hold the structure in place. It is commonly referred to as a pole tent or canopy.  This is like a circus tent or a tent you would install yourself.  We do not have this style tent in stock but work with many vendors who do.  Please call us if you want to add one to your order.  However, we will not install these tents. 

 

We feel it is important for our customers to know the difference in styles when doing a cost comparison. Canopies are generally less expensive and many times require customer set up and tear down.  Check that your provider is including all the services you want when asking.

Aside from main traffic aisles, allow 4 1/2′ between round tables for chair and service space and 5′ between oblong tables where seating is back to back. This permits 24″ service space behind 18″ chair depth.

All allowances shown above are approximate and are provided as an estimate of room needed to host an event.  All information is not guaranteed to be accurate to your particular situation.

To calculate your side wall needs divide the total perimiter o the tent by 20′. 

For example a 20 x 20 tent is an 80′ perimeter divided by 20’= 4 – so you need 4 roral sidewalls.

Most common rental sizes and the side walls required.  For sizes not listed here refer to the example above to calculate your needs.

  • 15 x 15 – 3
  • 20 x 20 – 4
  • 20 x 30 – 5 or if available 2 30′ & 2 20″
  • 20 x 40 – 6
  • 20 x 50 – 7
  • 20 x 60 – 8
  • 30 x 30-  6
