If figuring out the size wasn’t enough, you will also need to figure out the style of tent you want! Let’s go over the different types of tents that can be rented for parties and events.

Types of Tents for Parties and Events

 
Type Description
Tension Pole Tent Secured with 32"- 42" stakes, these tents are mostly installed on grass. Asphalt is possible if staking is permitted. Their design features poles that create beautiful peaks, and adding a touch of elegance to your event.
Frame Tent  These free-standing tents can be set up on any surface, offering versatility for your event location. With no interior poles, you enjoy unobstructed space.
High Peak Frame Tent This hybrid tent combines the best of both worlds: it offers the peaks of a tension pole tent while boasting the unobstructed space of a frame tent.
Frame Structure Tent This tent features wider openings and taller ceilings compared to standard frame tents, enhancing its spacious feel. It’s capable of supporting more weight, perfect for commercial setups. With tightly fitting sections and walls, it’s the ideal choice for effectively utilizing heating and air-conditioning, ensuring comfort in any weather.
