New Year, New Tent: How to Choose the Best Tent Rental For Your Needs

2019 is here, and that means more celebrations, trade shows, and events. Here’s how to choose the best tent rental for your needs this year.

The new year always signals a fresh start or a new beginning. It is a time of resolution, of goal-setting, of do-overs and re-starts. Welcome to your new year. It is time to shed the old and embrace the new.

This rule also applies to tent rentals. Perhaps it is time to get a new one for the new year. After all, your tent has an important job.

 

Choosing the Best Tent Rental 

It doesn’t matter what you use it for, whether it is for personal use or for business.

You likely bought a tent because you needed to protect someone or something from potential inclement weather.

• Maybe you like the indoor appearance of an outdoor setting.
• Or, maybe it is the option of an HVAC system that makes the tent so worthwhile to you.

Whatever you use your tent for, keeping it updated and healthy in appearance can ensure that it is meeting your needs – all while being pleasing to the eye.

So, what is new since you last bought your tent? We’ve put together a guide to help you choose the best tent rental for your needs.

 

1. Determine the Use for Your Tent

Before you can take any step further, you need to determine the use for your tent.

If you currently have a tent, then you likely already know what you want to use your tent for.

However, for those who don’t have a tent, you may – or may not – know how beneficial they may be.

Tents serve a great purpose.

• They can be used for occasions, such as weddings and birthday parties.
• They can also be used for corporate events and trade shows.
• These tents work well for so many industries, such as construction, aviation, and agricultural. They can store large machinery and equipment. They can cover important projects and can even house cattle and other livestock.

There is no limit to what you can do with a temporary tent structure.

But, because there are so many choices to make when choosing one, you must know how you intend to use it.

 

 

2. Choosing Between the Types of Tents Available

There are multiple types of tents to choose from, but which is the best tent rental for you?!

The different types of tents include

• Pole tents
• Frame tents
• Marquee tents
• Carnival tents
• Other options

The two most common, however, are the pole tents and frame tents. What you need the tent for will determine which tent is the best fit for your needs.

– Pole Tents

Pole tents are perhaps one of the most popular tents as they have been around for years. They are customizable and come in a variety of sizes.

Unfortunately, if you are looking for wide-open space for storage or to maneuver large equipment, you will have to work around the poles.

In addition, depending on where you intend to erect the tent, you will have to make sure you have space for the guy lines and stakes that are required to maintain this tent structure.

– Clearspan Frame Tents

Clearspan tents – frame tents – are perhaps one of the most versatile tents available on the market. They are also very customizable and come in a wide variety of sizes.

Unlike pole tents, clearspan tents have no poles or other obstructions underneath the fabric. Instead, you have a wide-open space that you can use.

In addition, these frame tents can be constructed on all types of ground because there is no need for guy lines or staking.

As you can see, the tent you choose will be solely determined by your need for cover.

 

3. Determining the Space You Need

To find the best tent rental for you, it’s essential to determine the amount of space you will need.

But don’t fret!

Clearspan tents can come in ranges from 10 feet wide to 164 feet wide. They are modular, so they easily increase or decrease in size in 10- or 16-foot increments.

The size of the tent is the size you will have under the fabric. There is no bars, poles, or barriers.

What does that mean for you?

It means that you can schedule that party, plan that corporate expo, or complete those winter construction jobs with ease – and on time.

 

 

4. Choosing Amazing Accessories

Believe it or not, there are many amazing accessories that can come with your temporary tent structure so that it better fits your needs. For example:

• You can choose flooring that will make the space under your tent feel as though it is indoor. This can include everything from wood and tile floors to carpeting.
• Side walls work wonders to keep out what you don’t want under your tent, such as unfavorable weather, pesky insects, and other undesirables.
• An HVAC system can make all the difference for your guests, employees, or whatever you decide to place under the tent. It provides heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. This means you can use your tent any time of the year – despite the temperature outside.
• Banners, logos, and specific colors are other customizations that can be added to your tent structure.

Let’s not forget how important lighting is to your tent. You can use various lighting techniques or add lighting fixtures that will enhance the benefits of your temporary structure.

 

5. Finding the Right Fabric You Desire

Most tents you see erected are made of white fabric. Did you know that you have options when it comes to the frame covering?

While the white fabric is strong, durable, and reflective of the heat, it also blocks out the outdoor view.

If the reason you chose to have an outdoor event is that you would like the beauty of nature to be incorporated in your event – or to enjoy some natural sunlight (or moonlight) – then you may want to consider choosing clear panels.

That is right, you can have a clearspan frame tent draped with clear panels. This gives you the best of both worlds – you can have all the perks of a tent without blocking out the natural beauty on the outside.

 

Conclusion

It’s a new year and it’s time you invested in a new tent.

Before you waste your resources, look at all the benefits and options available with new tents and get yourself the best tent rental to fit your needs.

Happy new year.
