Renting a tent for an event can be exciting, but it can also be a challenge as you should figure out how to choose the right tent for your event.
The size of the tent is one of the main considerations you should be making, based on the number of guests and what you will have inside – for example, just rows of chairs or tables with a buffet and dancefloor.
– A 20×40 tent can welcome up to a hundred guests and is a typical setting for wedding ceremonies (two rows of chairs with an aisle in the middle).
– A 30×60 tent is a great choice for 200 – 250 guests and has enough space for various shapes of tables.
– A 40×60 tent is your go-to pick to host your entire event in one place, as you can squeeze in buffet tables, a bar, a dance floor plus dinner tables and chairs.
When it comes to style, it mostly depends on the surface, whether it’s grass, cement or asphalt. If it’s grass, a basic tent with stakes will do. However for cement and asphalt, you will need a standing tent. Also think about the tent’s inner flow: you can either have poles, which will stand in the way, or use a frame tent which will make for a more spacious environment, without any obstructions.
Materials the tent is made from for the frame and the cover is another factor that you need to consider. The material for the tarp is important because it will make it easier for you to know if the tent will be protected and water proof or if the tent will leak. The frame work should be durable enough that it can withstand some of the gust of winds, but it should also be light enough that you can move the tent around as needed.
Last but not least, don’t forget add-ons such as lighting, audio-video and a podium if needed.
To be frank, selecting a tent isn’t an easy thing as there are so many elements to take into consideration which is why it is recommended to talk to a professional to find out what will work best for you.
