Planning a graduation party shouldn't be as stressful as homework.
Keep Your Construction Project on Schedule Even During the Winter
When I think of a tent event, I think a beautiful spring day. The sun is setting and a soft breeze is blowing as a couple exchanges their vows. However, this certainly isn't the case for every tent event. In January 2014, ARCO Design/Build and Stief Concrete were working on a construction project that was running behind schedule because the cold weather was delaying the pouring of the concrete walls. Stief Concrete looked to Tents For Rent to supply tents, heaters, power and lighting to allow the construction project to move forward in spite of the unusually cold weather.
The site presented some unique challenges. Parts of the tents could not be secured with traditional stakes. Instead, they needed to be secured with concrete anchors that could penetrate only 5 inches into the concrete. Yet, they had to be able to hold the tents in place safely and securely. Also, during this time there was a severe propane shortage that increased prices and made propane difficult to find at any price. We kept a crew onsite during days that concrete was being poured in order to open and close the tent walls to give access to the work crews. In addition, tents needed to be moved frequently as the project moved forward. Frequent changes in the weather and schedule required us to be flexible to keep everything moving forward smoothly.
All in all the project is moving forward smoothly and the tents are allowing this project to be completed much more quickly than otherwise possible.

Tents for Haiti Earthquake Victims
We're shipping two tents to Haiti today via Food for the Poor. Two 20' x 40' tents will be used for training tents.
Tarps for Haiti
We've now shipped over 8,000 tarps to Haiti for use as temporary shelters. We are now working with several organizations to provide large tents that will provide better long term shelters, schools and dining facilities until they can be rebuilt.
Haiti Earthquake
Tents For Rent is working with Christian Aid Ministries to provide 10,000 tarps for temporary shelters in Haiti. We have currently secured about 7,000 tarps with rope that are ready to send to Haiti. Some of the tarps have already been airlifted to Haiti and the rest are being packed into containers for shipping. It seems that a tarp is a poor shelter, but many of these people lived under tarps before the earthquake. Also, tarps can be shipped and distributed very quickly and efficiently with limited transportation resources. We are also working with other organizations to provide small tents for housing as well as larger tents for dining facilities and semi-permanent schools.Please pray for these people in Haiti and donate as you are able.
