You don't have to set up your tent yourself

If you've ever gone camping before, you know how challenging setting up a small tent can be. Unfortunately, normal-sized tent rentals are much bigger than standard camping tents!

Fortunately, when you rent a large party tent, it should come with a crew of people who know how to construct the tent correctly. That way, you can continue to focus on the party or event while the professionals get that 200-person tent setup.

Outdoor event tents are surprisingly strong

This may come as a surprise, but tent rentals are capable of withstanding some pretty severe weather, including high winds and most thunderstorms. After all, they're built to withstand the elements. While they might not survive a tornado, these tents can handle thunderstorms, hail, and more.

If the weather forecaster was wrong and the weather turns nasty at the last minute, no fear -- the event can go on.

Rental tents are flame retardant

What's a party without some good entertainment? Between fireworks, grills, and birthday candles, there might be plenty of fire at your event. Fortunately, there's no reason to fear an uncontrolled fire: all rental tents should be flame retardant. This is not an excuse for reckless behavior, but it should put any worries you might have to rest.

Tent rentals come in all shapes and sizes

Every event is different; as such, there is not "standard size" for event tents. Instead, tent rentals come in a wide variety of sizes. It's up to you to determine how big you need yours to be.

To figure this out, you first need to know how many people will be attending. Then you multiply that number by the number of square feet needed per individual. For example, six square feet per person are needed at your average cocktail party. For a nice sit-down dinner, you will need about 15 square feet per person. But for a dance area, you can get away with only two square feet per person.

You can have an HVAC system on your tent

The thought of holding an outdoor event in extremely cold or hot temperatures can be stressful, but you can actually have an HVAC system on an outdoor party tent.

Whether you need air conditioning, heating, or ventilation, this means you can hold an outdoor event at any time of year.

Tent rentals don't require flat ground

Unlike camping tents, rental tents don't need a specific ground type to be stable and functional. They also don't utilize guy lines, poles, or stakes. This makes event tents highly versatile and convenient for practically any occasion.

As you can see, event tents are ideal for just about everything. Whether you need a place to host a birthday party, wedding reception, or corporate event, rely on Tents For Rent today.
