When choosing the different types of party rentals you need for your special event, one of the things to consider may be about the tent. It does not matter what time of the year your event will take place as tents can be heated or cooled as needed. A tent has the ability to give a festive air to the occasion.

It can turn your occasion into an intimate and personalized event. You can use tents for any and every occasion. Here are some tips to help you decide which type of tent would be best suited for your special event.

1. Size Of Location/Site

Depending on the size of your location as well as the number of guests will determine your decision on picking the tent. It may also be possible that you may require more than one tent. As a rule of thumb, make sure that you have at least ten feet all around the perimeter of the tent. This helps when setting it up as well as for safe anchoring. Keep in mind adjacent buildings, washrooms, cooking facilities and access to and from the tent.

2. The Surface

Staking is a safe way to secure the tent and for this, gravel and soil would make the best surfaces. However, do not worry if it isn’t. For stone, asphalt or sand (or other surfaces), there are secure options with safety in mind as well. One word of warning when staking though; you need to make sure that there is nothing beneath the surface that can be damaged, so make sure to check with an underground utility locator.

3. Access For Service Providers

Keep in mind the access for any service providers because this could cause you to incur more costs. If heavy equipment has to be carted for a long distance, it could get expensive. It’s important to consider access points and ease of access so that you never run into trouble. There may be heavy tent equipment and also some other heavy party rentals like photo booths or arcade games for some extra entertainment of some guests, so consider ease of access when choosing a location.

4. Decorations For The Tent

Remember that a tent is just pretty much a blank canvas. You need to get creative and think of decorations and lightings. You can always ask a friend who is creative to help you to come up with great ideas. Perhaps it is a themed event, so appropriate decorations will make it a huge hit with everyone.

5. Types Of Tents

There are different types of tents such as pole tents which can span a large area and not be too expensive in doing so. These are good because they can be installed quite quickly in a flat, open area. There are frame tents which can fit in an area where a pole tent may not. A tidewater tent can glow and create a unique ambience.

A few other things to consider would be the rental rates including installation and dismantling, early morning or late at night installations, which will require more labour and will drive the price up and any customized requirements. Many factors will affect the tent you will require but the best thing to do is to call the experts and go over any special needs and requirements so that everything will go smoothly for your special event.
