Common Party Tent Features By: Trevor Mulholland

A party tent is commonly used for weddings, trade fairs and other events where 50 or more people gather. This type of tent is more expensive than ordinary shelters used in camping and it usually requires special equipment to build. Tents for parties are harder to pitch than ordinary tents, that's why most of the time they are rented rather than purchased. Most companies that offer these tents for rent also offer services for pitching and dismantling.

People who need a party tent should consider first the kind of environment where the shelter will be built. Firms that offer tent rental services often charge extra if the venue is not exactly the best place to erect a tent. For example, a concrete ground will be more of a challenge to tent builders as compared with uncovered earth. The distance of the venue from the renting company is also a consideration; more often than not, the farther the place is from the renting company's headquarters, the higher the fee.

Weddings are some of the more common events that make use of big tents. Because a wedding is not a frequent occurrence, most consumers would prefer to rent a tent rather than buy one. Tents for something as festive as a wedding are offered in various designs and colors, although white is, of course, the most common. Oftentimes, companies that provide wedding tents also offer accessories such as carpets, floorings, platforms, tent decorations, awnings and even lighting.

The type of tent that will be used for a party should be chosen with the weather condition in mind. If the party will be held during the summer, tents without side covers are the most appropriate. Most of the time, tents for summer parties are comprised only of a roof and several sturdy poles. If there is dancing involved, center poles are usually not used. Instead, the shelter is supported using stakes and side poles and the center is left free so that people can move around without a center pole obscuring their view or preventing them from dancing at the center. For events like these, canopy tents are the most commonly used.

For events that need to accommodate a hundred guests or more, frame tents are the more favored. Several frame shelters can be joined together to form a single, big space where people can get together and mingle. Frame canopies can also be erected in such a way that different configurations can be formed depending on the theme of the party.

Using a party tent is more practical and economical than finding an indoor space to house a number of guests or more. It is also an advantage that it can just be dismantled after the party and there will be no worries about having to tidy up and put furniture back into their proper places after the event.

Wedding Tents Rental - A Perfect 'Plan B' Option By Claire Bowes

Wedding tents can be a blessing in disguise and are designed to give you options that you thought were not possible...

You are about to embark on the planning and preparation of a wedding and my guess is that it will be a Spring/Summer wedding, and you are thinking about the idea of renting a wedding tent. The idea to host a wedding, or at least the reception in the garden, or on a beach, is an idea that appeals to many brides-to-be.

However, the more you have considered hosting your wedding outside, the more you will have realized that no matter how well you plan in advance for your wedding, the weather is something you simply cannot plan or control. Even in the summer there is always a good chance that it could rain, be windy or a little cooler than what was forecasted. These weather factors could put a strain on your day as you will be worrying what the weather has in store for you, and, if the worst should happen, the guests won't like to be stuck outdoors in the rain or wind.

Renting a wedding tent is a perfect 'Plan B' option for several reasons:

• They are remarkably easy to erect and take down;

• You can choose the size and design to suit your occasion;

• You can decorate them to fit in with the theme of your wedding;

• Your guests can have the option to mingle inside or outside of the tent, depending on the weather;

• Your guests will be impressed with such an elegant structure and convenience;

• You can have your dream 'outdoor' wedding without the worry of the weather!

Wedding tents can come in all types of shapes and sizes to suit your individual needs and taste. For example, if you want to hold the whole reception outside, then you can opt for a large marquee type tent that can cover an entire dining room and dance floor included. Or, if you just wanted something small and eloquent to cover a buffet table, for example, then you could simply opt for a small awning.

Obviously the cost of renting wedding tents will vary enormously depending on the size you choose. Therefore it would pay you to shop around and do your research on various wedding tent rental stores to get the best value for your money. You can either do your research online or look in your local Yellow Pages directory to see what wedding tent stores are near you and if they include the price of erecting and taking down the tent for you.

If you are planning an outdoor wedding and are thinking of renting a wedding tent, then I am sure that your head is now buzzing with lots of ideas on what type of wedding tent is right for your occasion, how will you dress it, where exactly to place it in your garden, or favorite beach location. The ideas are endless as to what a great impact a simple wedding tent can do to save your outdoor wedding worries.
