You might be planning an outdoor wedding and want a place for your reception dinner and dance. It could also be you are holding a special birthday party or maybe an anniversary gala. Whatever your event is, you may want to have a place where your guests can feel protected from the elements and enjoy their time.
Renting a tent for your event can provide a great outdoor space for your occasion that is elegant and has the feel of a ballroom or conference room. How do you choose the right tent rental for your next event? Here are a few tips to help you pick the best one.
The Size of Your Event Site
There are two important things you must think about when picking out tent rentals. You must first think about how many people are going to be there, and how big the event site is. If you are holding a large gathering of a couple of hundred people, you are going to want a large tent or even several tent rentals to accommodate everyone.
If you are having a smaller event, then you might want a small or medium-sized tent. You also need to take into account that the tent will need space for its anchors and any other amenities you may need, such as an outdoor kitchen or bathroom.
The Type of Ground the Site Has
You must take into account the type of ground surface the site of your event has when looking at tent rentals. Tents can anchor on any number of surfaces; for example, soil or sand and even gravel. In fact, they probably are the safest option as the anchors can get a better grip onto the ground on these surfaces.
If your event site has another type of surface, however, such as asphalt, concrete, or stone, you will need a different type of tent anchor to keep it in place. Make sure you know the type of surface that is on the site where your tent will be set up, as it will help your party planner or tent rental company pick out the right tent for you.
What the Location Is Like Has an Effect
When checking out tent rentals you need to take into account what the location is like at the event site. For example, is it on the waterfront where it can be exposed to potential water splashes? Is it in a mountain region or valley that has high winds or dust particles? Will it get cooler at night or does it stay rather hot and humid? These are all things you must think about when looking at tent rentals. You may want a sturdy tent that can withstand higher wind gusts. You may also want a tent that can have open sides to let in some air so it doesn't get too stuffy.
Take a look at your event site and ask your party planner or tent rental company what they recommend for that particular location.
