Benefits of renting a party tent and how to choose the right one

If you’re planning a special outdoor occasion, such as summer wedding,
you’re probably already overwhelmed with how costly such an event can be.
Choosing the right tent to fit all your guests is not only a challenge - there
are so many shapes, sizes and colors on the market! - but it can also be
terribly expensive. The tent structure alone can cost you anywhere between $500
and $5,000, the flooring can get to above $2,000, chandeliers will be around
$50-$500 each, and the side walls will cost you a total of $400 - and that’s,
if you decide to go with a moderate-sized tent.
The worst part is that, after your party is over, you’re unlikely to use
your tent ever again. So, should you give up on your dream outdoor wedding or
special celebration? Of course not - you just have to be smart about it. If
you’re located or planning a party in South Jersey, renting a party tent with Equipment & Event
Rental can not only
spare you a lot of money, but also save you some of the troubles, associated
with finding the perfect tent and getting it ready for the big celebration. A
quick calculation will show you that the cost of buying an average-sized tent can get
up to $10,000 and renting one of our fabulous high-peak
tension tent will cost you only around $400 per day! Apart from the obvious expense-related
benefits, we at Equipment & Event Rental can also help you pick out the most suitable tent for your dream
celebration or party.
If you’re one of the people that like to be prepared in advance, don’t
worry - we’ve got you covered. With the many choices of types, sizes and shapes of tent rentals available on the market, getting your head around a single one can
be quite challenging. The first thing you need to know about wedding or party
tents is that they’re, generally, divided into two types: pole tents and frame
tents.
If you’re looking forward to your green outdoor wedding, a pole tent
might be the better choice for you. These have to be staked, which makes them
an excellent choice for grass. Pole tents are typically the more popular
choice, when it comes to party tents, as they’re larger in size, easy to set up
and relatively portable. The only disadvantage is that you’ll need to place the
tables, dance floors and stages around the central pole.
Frame tents are generally more versatile and can be installed on almost
any surface, including asphalt or a deck. They’re the superior option, as
they’re suitable for both outdoor and indoor celebrations, but are generally
more expensive. There are no poles inside, which means you’ll get more square
footage available - and you won’t have to worry about fitting your sеating
arrangements around the poles.
There is a third type of tent, which is very similar to the pole tents.
The Tension Party Tent comes with a much greater center height - this is why
they’re often called high peak tents. If you’re looking for a dramatic effect,
a high peak tent will be your best choice, and these types of tents are
extremely popular for weddings or any sort of formal events. Tension tents are
just as easy to set up and install as the pole tents, and are ideal for wet and
windy weather, as they offer greater stability.
An Engineered Frame Tent is another option. An ultimate option. It is a durable tent that you can use for parties of all sizes. Thanks to its adjustable size, you will have no problem taking advantage of it for any event. You can rent this tent in any length needed by adding additional 20' extensions.You can enjoy its stronger build and appealing design no matter the event you are hosting. It is a perfect party tent rental for everything from laid back events to formal occasions, like weddings and graduations. Its modern and simple design ensure it will fit into all events. You can enjoy this extra covered space no matter what you decide to do.
Great, you’ve chosen your type of tent, but how about the size? You
probably already have a pretty solid idea as to the number of guests that will
attend your party or event. Different types of parties, however, require
different square space per person. As a rule of thumb, allow approximately 15
square feet per wedding guest, 10 square feet for cocktail, and 13-14 square
feet per person for a garden party.
If math’s not your strongest suit, follow Equipment & Event Rental’s simple tips for picking the right size of tent for your party. If
you’re looking at around 50-100 guests, a 30x60 pole tent will provide you with
enough space to eat, talk and even do a bit of dancing inside the tent. Parties
with up to 150 guests usually require a 40x60 pole and for those massive
celebrations, go with a 40x80 Engineered Frame Tent that can easily host up to 200-250
guests!
When thinking about the type of tent and the space you’ll need, make
sure to take into account the possible additions, such as lighting, heaters and
fans. Make sure you’ve also included extra space for the chairs, bars, tables
and, of course, food. We at Equipment & Event Rental can also offer you a smaller tent you can use as a catering tent, as
well as flooring and side walls, which are a great idea, if you’re expecting a
windy or a chilly evening. Make sure to check the material of the tent you’re
looking to rent, as some materials are generally more suitable for specific
climates, than others. Polyester is the most popular choice, as it’s
affordable, durable and water-proof, but a combination with vinyl provides
UV-resistance, as well. If you’re hosting your party in a humid climate, ask us
about our tents with UV-resistant polyethylene, as they’ll provide you with
extra resistance to moisture and rain, and are also quite portable and easy to
move around.
Take into account whether you’ll also need party tent walls and
flooring. Cooler weather and evening events generally require side walls in
order to keep your guests warm and cozy, and protect you from insects. If
you’re bothered about insects, but don’t want to go with full side walls, opt
for a party tent netting. If your dream party involves a dance floor or a
stage, consider a party tent flooring - its type will largely depend on the climate
and the type of event.
If you’re planning a big event, a formal celebration or a wedding party,
don’t give up on your dreams, just because they’re costly. Go with the smart
option and rent a party tent with Equipment & Event Rental - choose the best one, following our advice and give your guests a
night worth remembering!
