DID YOU KNOW?

Tent Planning Made Easy

 

You should allow a minimum of 10 feet around the perimeter of the tent for set up. For example a 20 x 20' size tent would require an optimum 30 x 30' area for proper installation. We can work with a smaller area but please advise us so we may be prepared. 40 x 60' tents and larger require an extra 10 feet to secure guy lines and stakes.


* Remember to look for over-hanging branches or fixtures that may interfere with the tent installation.

  •  

  • For larger tent installations we require drive up access with our truck due to the weight of the tents...so please let us know so we may plan accordingly.

     

  • Try to have a basic plan of where the most logical place to install your tent is, especially for large tent installations with catering tents and walkway canopies.

     

  • Where are those power lines? Underground and overhead utilities are very important to locate when erecting a tent. Give your local utilities a call to inspect your tent site. This should be done as far in advance as possible, once you have booked your tent, to ensure smooth installation.

     

  • When you call to inquire about your tent rental, you will be asked about the surface of your tent site - grass, dirt, wood deck. There are special methods of installation for each type of surface but please keep in mind that, unfortunately, not every situation can be accommodated.

     

  • At Cody Party Center safety is our number one priority.

TENT QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

 

How are the tents anchored?

Steel stakes are driven into the ground. The actual number and size of the stakes depends on the tent size and wind load they may be subjected to. Every situation is different and may call for different measures but the end result will be within manufacturers anchorage guidelines.

Do stakes damage an asphalt parking lot or driveway?

No, it will make a hole about 3/4 to 1 inch in size which can be easily repaired with asphalt plugs if needed. Often, they will fill with dirt and gravel and you would be hard pressed to even find them after awhile, even if you know where to look.

When do you install and remove a tent for an event?

For example, if your event is Saturday, we would usually install the tent on Wednesday or Thursday depending on the time your event begins. Pick-up is most often scheduled for Monday. Every event is different and arrangements can usually be made to accommodate everyone.

 

Please keep in mind that weather is a major, uncontrollable factor when scheduling tent installations and pick-ups.

Do I need a floor in my tent?

Most often, grass is all the flooring you need. If there is uneven ground or dirt and gravel a sub-floor is an option. Depending on the type of event you are planning you may require a dance floor or staging. Freshly laid sod does not make a good floor.

Customer Testimonials
Thanks for letting us pick up the linen rental a day earlier in such a short notice. It helped greatly when there were so many other things to be taken care of for a wedding. Your team is great and the price is also very reasonable. - Christine
