What are the different types of Tents and Permanent Fabric Structures?
Party Canopies are light weight coverings designed to shelter against the sun or light rain; usually supplied as an inexpensive do-it-yourself alternative to a proper pole tent.
Pop-up Canopies are small lightweight collapsible frames with a fabric cover designed as a do-it yourself rental. They offer light protection and are used when quick setup is needed.
Pole Tents are more festive looking and less expensive than frame tents. They are the strongest and will stand up in severe weather.
Frame Tents are a vinyl cover over a metal frame and would be used if there is no need for center poles.
Temporary or Permanent Structures otherwise referred to as "clear span structures". They are the ideal tent if you are covering an area for a short or long period of time, you need a large area covered with no restrictions from poles or you are going for a more sophisticated look.
What size tent do we need for our guests?
This depends on the event. We use the following general formulas: Sit down dinners: 15 square feet per person. Buffet dinners: 10 square feet per person. Assembly: 8 square feet per person. Please keep in mind that these formulas are general and as a general rule of thumb you should estimate high.
What size tents do you have?
Our smallest tent is 75 square feet. Our largest single tent is over 300,000 square feet. Our tent sizes start at 7'6" wide and range all the way up to 200 feet wide. The length can be as long as your needs require.
