Tent Information
Tents are anchored by stakes or concrete blocks.
There is a 10% upcharge for any tent requiring a concrete block.
Sidewalls are not included in the tent rental but are recommended in the event of cold, windy or heavy rainy conditions.
Sidewalls can also be utilized on just one area of a tent as a backdrop or to hide an area such as restrooms or catering prep areas.
Sidewalls help with wind but should not be used as a “wind barrier”.
A gap can be left in the sidewall install for an entry/exit or they can be folded back while guests enter and can be closed back once in/out traffic is stopped.
Our sidewalls do not roll-up but clip-on and off the perimeter of the tent.
The amount of lighting needed depends on the time of the event, the atmosphere you’re wanting to create, as well as the tent size/type (if applicable).
Give one of our showrooms a call and we are happy to discuss and quote your lighting needs!
We have perimeter lighting, string or ‘Italian’ lights, chandeliers, uplighting, and spot lights.
Measuring for a tent can be tricky depending on the placement, size, type, and terrain.
We are happy to do a site visit to inspect the area and to advise on what will work or what would need to be done (branches trimmed, etc.) for a tent to be able to fit your space.
If temperatures are going to be below 60* during your event, we recommend heaters to keep the temperatures appropriate or at room temperature.
The quantity of the heaters can vary depending on the location of the event, if it is a tented event, and how many people are attending the event.
If temperatures are going to be above 80* during your event, we recommend fans in order to move air and keep the temperatures appropriate or at room temperature.
The quantity of the fans can vary depending on the location of the event, if it is a tented event, and how many people are attending the event.
We do offer air conditioning for our tents! Please contact us at info@event-rentals.com for more information.
