5 Ways Large Tents Make Life Easier

We are always looking to find ways to make life easier. Whether it is a life hack to shave 10 minutes off your favorite dinner recipe, or an easier way to tackle laundry – anything and everything helps. So why wouldn’t you want to learn about all the ways large tents can make your life easier? Ok, so you don’t see a need for tent – but you need storage, right? Or maybe you don’t have any items that you need to store, but you are in the middle of planning a retirement party and were concerned about finding the perfect location. Whatever your needs, don’t overlook these tents.

Large tents are versatile and offer plenty of room for events, parties, storage, or protection while you complete your latest projects. Keep reading to find out just how easy these tents can make your life.

They give ample amount of space to utilize

There are few things worse than holding an event or a party and having your guests packed in like sardines. Most people prefer to be comfortable – and welcome their personal space with open arms. Large tents can make this easier.

With their open floor plans (no poles) and walls that easily open the entire side of the tent, any overcrowded dilemmas you may encounter could be solved rather quickly. In fact, all four sides can open, allowing your party to flow freely from the great outdoors to underneath the canopy, without any barriers.

Large tents provide a versatile venue

Have you ever wanted to throw an event or party, but had trouble locating the best space to meet your needs? Wouldn’t it be great if you just had a wide-open floor plan that you could decorate as you wish? For instance, one that allowed you to decide where to put the food, the bar, the dance floor, etc. because, let’s face it – an art exhibit is going to need to be laid out differently than a wedding reception –  and both will be different from a kid’s birthday party.

A tent is a large blank canvas. Thankfully they have no poles jeopardizing the interior space, but rather along the perimeter. This means that under your tent, you will have an open space to organize the best layout, getting the flow your event desires.

Large tents can act as temporary storage buildings

Large tents can come in handy and offer much need storage space. Especially for individuals or companies who:

  • work in the construction field and need to store heavy machinery or other equipment.
  • construct home remodel jobs and need an outdoor space for storing supplies and other equipment.
  • deal with natural disasters and need space for storing food and water or medical supplies.

Whether it is any of the above, for personal needs, car storage, or temporary housing — these temporary storage buildings are there for you, providing the space you need. They are ideal for large objects, as well, since the sides provide ample entrance space and the inside area is wide open, without any poles or other structural beams to get in the way.

They can protect against rough weather

Outdoor events are wonderful – especially during the warmer months. Nature makes a decorative backdrop that can’t be beat by any party store decoration. Unfortunately, the weather can be unpredictable and, when you least expect it, it can soak the event you have spent months planning.

Deciding to utilize a large tent can give you the best of both worlds. It can allow you to hold your outdoor event while putting a barricade between your guests and mother nature’s fury. The walls of tents can be opened or closed, depending on the weather. And they are strong enough to ward off winds, hail, snow, and heavy rainfall. The good news, too, is that they are climate controlled – so if its beautiful out, but still a tad bit chilly, you can rest assured that your guests will be warm and toasty in your outdoor tent. Or if it is a hot summer day, your guests will appreciate being able to cool off from the sun.

Large tents are cost-effective

Sometimes you just need more space – permanently or temporarily. But, you don’t always have the means to build on to your home or business. Large tents can offer years of service to you by giving you the extra protected space you need without requiring the formal construction of a new building.

If you are still not convinced as to how large tents can make your life easier, check out these perks and see if any apply to your “I need more space!” situation:

  • You need temporary storage for your office as you have ordered additional items in preparation for a large, upcoming sale.
  • You have decided to renovate your home and must remove large items temporarily while the renovation is taking place.
  • Your city has declared a state of emergency and the local hospitals are at capacity. You need a space where you can set up triage and begin to treat the more minor patients.
  • Your equine facility has taken on more horses than normal and activity has been bustling. So, you are looking for storage space, housing, or training/riding arena space.

Tents are cost-effective as they do not require formal construction procedures. Do you know what else this means? It means that you don’t have to wait months for your new space to be ready for your use. Tents can be erected rather quickly and are ready to go in no time! Because they are completely customizable, you can get just the right size for your space.

Your needs are unique to you. But whatever they are, a large tent can help. They make life easier because they are designed to meet your needs, they can be erected quickly, and can provide all the conveniences of an indoor space or permanent building – without the cost and time.

Transition to Off-Grid Tent Living Using a Tent Rental

Home as we know it keeps us safe, it keeps us warm, it keeps us dry, and it keeps us comfortable. It also keeps us connected. Our world today has us absorbed by electronics. We lose out on so many precious moments of life because our attention is drawn away by a ring, a ding, a chirp, or a you’ve got mail. It is more common to see a group of individuals standing together looking down at cell phones than it is to see a group of kids playing a game of baseball in the park. When you feel overwhelmed by all the technology, it is time to try out tent living to unplug. From using a tent rental for shelter to raising livestock, you could turn a piece of vacant, secluded land into an adventure and an opportunity to disconnect yourself from all the daily stimuli.

Keep reading for the basic steps to help you transition to world of off-grid tent living.

Using a Rental for Tent Living

Shelter is necessary. You may think that you want to go off the grid in an extreme way, but, after exposed to the wildlife, the insects, the weather and its elements, you will likely change your mind – quickly.

One of the most cost efficient forms of shelter is a large tent rental. These tent rentals are especially handy since they can be assembled at any location. If going off-grid tent living, that could mean you will need shelter in a remote area with the possibility of tricky terrain. Tents are customizable, allowing you to design them to meet your needs in size, and shape. You can also include flooring, sidewalls, windows, etc. Rental tents are also made of durable fabric and can withstand any potential damage that can come your way.

Other potential shelters are campers, or professionally built residences. Anything that is large enough to live in and turn into a comfortable tent living space can be your shelter.

Water is a Necessity

It’s a fact of life – if you want to survive, you will need access to clean water. Unless you plan on walking down to the creek to fill your bucket, walk back home, treat your water, and hope you have enough for all that your family will need – you are going to want to make sure you are hooked up to a well or some other water irrigation system that can deliver you clean water.

Say no to gathering water bottles and gallon jugs, unless you intend to reuse them. You are going off-grid to live off the land. Therefore, don’t pollute that very land with wasteful plastic!

Food

Here is when you must show everyone what you are made of. Are you able to forego dining out, fast food, and Starbucks? Will you learn to hunt for your food and have a farm with livestock and a garden? Livestock, such as cows, chickens, ducks, turkeys, and pigs, among others, can serve as a great food source. Tending a garden can produce healthy and tasty veggies and fruits that are full of the good stuff for you. The best news? You control what your livestock eats and what you spray on your garden. In other words, you will finally have total control over the food your family eats.

You will likely make sporadic trips to a grocery store or market, depending on how remote you’re tent living is. However, when you do so, you can stock up on staples like rice, beans, powdered milk, or any other non- perishable food items you may desire.

Energy Sources

The rage is all about solar panels! These panels use the sun’s rays and convert it to an energy source. The cost of solar panels may put a dent in your wallet initially. However, the system will last you for many years. When you average out the monthly cost you currently pay in your fully-wired home, you will realize you are actually going to be saving money.

Wind is another possible source of energy. However, not all off-grid tent living homes are located in areas in which wind would be a feasible source.

Septic

You will have to go to the bathroom. Your family members will, too. It is a fact of life. And, well, it must go somewhere. Because you will want to make sure your waste doesn’t negatively affect your food sources or water, you will want to ensure you have a properly functioning septic system. Whether it is built into the ground or a motor home-type septic tank that will require occasional emptying, you will be thankful for the septic tank.

Another method some hardcore off-grid folks choose is a composting toilet. This will collect your waste and turn it into compost.

Whatever method you choose, make sure to consult the zoning board in your area to confirm your septic method meets the requirements.

Willingness to Embrace Change

When choosing to move to a remote location and completely rearrange everything about the way you currently live your life, you are going to have to expect some difficulty in adjusting. Living off grid means getting rid of things such as TVs, cell phones, tablets, computers, washers and dryers, microwaves, air conditioning, etc. Sure, you can still have these items, but you will not likely have the means to use them how you are used to. Remember – you are making your own energy now.

Many people who have chosen this route either loved it or hated it. It surely isn’t for everyone. But, those who love their decision and have embraced the change to off-grid tent living, have found a sense of calm that somehow gets lost in the midst of all the electronics. In fact, families are brought together because, being cut off civilization, they don’t have anywhere else to turn. It can break down barriers. And for those with kids – this change can teach responsibility, the joy of the outdoors, learning to live off the land, and staying connected with family.

Are you ready? Unplug and go. Now – before you change your mind!

Events That Call for a Large Tent Rental

There are times when the expense associated with building a permanent structure is not worth it. This is especially true when the structure will only be used for a short time. One way to ensure there is always a place to get out of the sun or seek shelter from a bit of rain that passes through is to include a large tent in the event planning. Here are a few scenarios that call for renting this type of tent.

Temporary Storage

The warehouse you own is in need of repair. The thing is that the inventory that is normally kept in the structure has to be moved before the repairs can get underway. Since you have a sizable amount of land adjacent to the warehouse, why not invest in renting a large tent that is supported with a lightweight aluminum frame? You can rent a tent that is large enough to house your inventory while the repairs are made. Once the job is done and you move everything back into the permanent structure, it will be easy enough to take down the tent and have it returned to the owner.

An Ideal Place for a Wedding Reception

You and your intended have planned an outdoor wedding. While holding the ceremony under the trees sounds great, setting up the reception in an open area could pose some problems. One approach is a large tent rental that can serve as the site for your reception. Keep in mind that tent rental services normally offer many different sizes. You won’t have trouble finding one that will accommodate a couple hundred guests. Plus there’s room for the chairs, tables, and space to set up the cake tables and the food. If it starts to rain during the ceremony, everyone can gather in the tent and stay high and dry while you exchange your vows. Thanks to a large tent, you are ready to deal with just about anything that could happen.

A Job Fair at the Local Park

You are charged with organizing a job fair for the local chamber of commerce. Given the season, the idea of holding the fair at a local park makes sense. There’s plenty of parking, and an open space that will be just right for a large tent. In fact, you will be able to offer space for a hundred exhibitors to set up. There will even be enough room to create large aisles for attendees to walk around. This gives them room to check out what each exhibitor has to offer. Best of all, the expense of securing the park along with the cost of the tent rental will be much less than using a different venue. You save the chamber money and still make it easy for people to exhibit and attend the job fair.

Community Yard Sales

Your neighborhood association wants to hold a yard sale as a fundraising event. The local park is a nice setting, but what about rain on the day of the sale? Consider renting a large tent and covering the cost by allowing participants to a small amount for room to display the things they want to sell. The tent provides protection from the elements, something that could entice shoppers to hang around longer and by more treasures.

Large tent rentals can come in handy for many different residential and commercial activities. Talk with a rental agency and get an idea of how others have used the tents in the past. That will help you decide if a rental would make your next event more successful.
