If you’re planning an outdoor event, chances are you have questions about tent rentals. Here are some of the most common FAQs to help you book with confidence—whether you’re hosting a wedding, reunion, festival, or backyard party.
What Types of Tents Are Available?
Most companies offer frame tents, pole tents, high-peak, clear-top, and sailcloth varieties. Your provider will explain which works best for your surface, size needs, and event type.
How Do I Pick the Right Size?
Share your guest count, layout, and activities (dining, dancing, buffets) with your rental company. They’ll recommend the size and can provide site visits or CAD layouts to ensure a perfect fit.
What Accessories Can I Add?
Popular add-ons include sidewalls, doors, lighting, flooring, climate control, and branded decor. Ask about options for comfort, privacy, and design upgrades.
When Should I Reserve a Tent?
Book early—especially for peak seasons, weddings, or large events. Some dates fill up months ahead. Weekday rentals and off-peak dates offer more flexibility.
What’s Included in My Rental?
Rental prices usually cover the tent, standard setup/takedown, and basic cleaning. Delivery fees, extended rental times, accessories, and permits may cost extra—always request an itemized quote.
Can a Tent Go on Any Surface?
Tents can be staked in grass, anchored on concrete, or installed on decks. Challenging sites may need an inspection and extra anchoring or weights.
What About Payments & Deposits?
Expect a deposit (often 25–50%) at booking, with the balance due before delivery. Cancellation policies vary; late changes or deletions can affect your refund.
Setup & Removal Timing
Rentals typically include multi-day use, with setup a day or two ahead and takedown after your event. You can request specific timing to fit venue access or decorating plans.
Weather Concerns—Can I Cancel?
Some companies let you cancel close to your event for a partial refund, especially if weather forecasts change. Always check policies before booking.
