Types of party tents
There are many types of party tents that you can go with. Some of the most common ones are:
Canopy: they are light and used in covering prize areas, guests and food stations. Since they are light, they aren’t ideal for long term installation. You should also avoid installing them in high winds and heavy rain situations. They are usually secured by rope.
Pole tents: they are supported by a number of perimeter and centre poles. They come in different sizes and colours and are ideal when you install them on flat grass or gravel.
Frame tents: they are ideal for both indoor and outdoor installations. They are made of a thick vinyl stretched over an aluminium frame in order to create a tenting arrangement that doesn’t obstruct the middle poles for support. Depending on the situation, they are either staked or weighted down. Many people prefer stacking them as they look great when staked.
Tent rental tips
Before you contact a tent rental company you should do your research and ensure that the company is reputable. You should also know the style of seating, activities that will take place during the party and the size of the party area. You also need to know the grade or slope of installation. The cool thing is that many reputable companies will visit the site and inspect it.
Many people tend to make mistakes when renting party tents and you shouldn’t be one of the people. You shouldn’t make assumptions on the size of party tent that you need. As rule of thumb you should consult a party tent professional who will advise you on the right size to go with.
Proper installation of party tents takes time; therefore, you should always contact the tent company a few days before the party in order to leave enough time for proper installation.
Conclusion
This is what you need to know about party tents. For ideal results always work with a reputable party rental company.
