Types of Party Tents

Pole tents. Pole tents are held up by poles secured in the ground, both at the center and around the perimeter. They’re tied down with ropes or cords to keep the canopy taut and stable. These lightweight, versatile party tents are available in a considerably large range of sizes, from tiny versions to cover a food or beer stand to tents capable of accommodating a massive wedding reception. The central support poles offer a unique opportunity for decoration; they can be festooned with garlands, ribbons, and other various decor elements.

Frame tents. Instead of having a canopy supported by poles, frame tents use a metal support structure. One of the advantages of this type of tent is that there isn’t any need for central poles, which can free up quite a bit of space. Although they’re more complicated to set up than pole tents, they’re somewhat more stable. They can also be set up on hard surfaces like tarmac and concrete, whereas most pole tents require soft ground. Like pole tents, they come in many sizes to accommodate different needs.

Tension tents. Tension tents are similar to pole tents, supported by outer and central poles. However, the canopy remains taut without needing to be tied down. They have taller peaks than pole tents, which can keep the interior cooler by allowing for more air flow.

All three types of tents are commonly requested by customers who are looking to rent party equipment, from families planning birthday parties to communities getting ready for music festivals. It makes sense to keep all three in stock, preferably in a variety of sizes, to take advantage of the need for shade and shelter from the rain during outdoor summer events.
