How To: Prep & Plan For Your Tent Rental

The second thumbnail displays a How To Video on General Tips -- please watch!

IMPORTANT INFO:

When renting a tent, it must be installed on a flat surface and properly anchored to the ground.

Tents cannot be set up under utility lines, low-hanging tree branches, structural overhangs or hanging lights. Best not to set up under trees at all.

Tent rentals include either stakes or concrete blocks, depending on your site, event needs and tent requirements, so that your temporary shelter won’t shift or blow away during your celebration. Pole tents must be staked for safety, so they cannot be set up on hard surfaces.

You need at least 4 feet more space on all sides for a tent to properly fit and be accessible.

When your tent rental calls for staking equipment into the ground, that area must be free of any underground utility lines such as water, power or sprinkler systems. Please call 811 and ask them to mark off your underground utility lines BEFORE your tent delivery. And don't forget to mark off your sprinkler systems in the space where the tent will be set up.

Please specify whether you will need tent side panels when you place your order. Some panels have windows and some do not; you cannot choose. Side panels do NOT roll up when installed.

FOR DELIVERY:

Have access gates, doors or entryways unlocked prior to our arrival. If indoor delivery, please make sure the middle bar is removed from all double doors prior to our arrival (if applicable).

OUTDOOR USE:

Grass should be mowed at least 2 days prior, not the day of or night before delivery or set up.

Shut off all sprinkler systems while you have your rental(s).

Clean up any dog or animal droppings prior to our arrival. We may refuse to set up or drop off if there is a mess.

The set up area should be flat and at least 10 feet away from pools and bodies of water. Our equipment must be folded, deflated, covered or otherwise secured during heavy rains and winds that exceed 15 miles per hour.
