Summer isn't the only great time of the year to host an event outdoors. Surprisingly, wedding celebrations are just as likely to be hosted in September and October as they are in June. This is because fall is a great time to come together to enjoy the great outdoors and the beautiful colors of the fall leaves.
How To Keep Your Corporate Event Running Smoothly Even When There's Rain
One of the biggest difficulties with planning an outdoor event in advance is you're never sure what the weather forecast holds in store. Of course, you can check the library's copy of the Farmer's Almanac for a general idea, but odds are your experience with the weather involves a lot of prayer and a series of heavy sighs.

How to Decide if an Outdoor Wedding is for You
As you're planning your wedding, you may wonder if you should plan an outdoor wedding or keep it indoors.
Reasons you should plan your wedding outdoors:
- You love the outdoors, fresh air, sunshine or stars
- You're planning a country or rustic wedding theme
- You have an outdoor space that is significant to you
- You want your wedding to be relaxed or casual
Reasons to opt for in indoor venue:
- You have a low tolerance for cool or warm weather (although tent heating and cooling are available)
- You aren't willing to adjust plans to work with weather changes
While there are pros and cons of planning an outdoor wedding, we're sure you'll be just as happy with your event as these customers were.

Project Spotlight: Custom Pavilion
At Tents For Rent, we delight in working with you to solve even the most difficult challenges. For Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, we did just that. They had a rooftop patio with a beautiful view. The only problem was that the sun and the rain made it unusable for much of the summer. Before we could install a tent on the patio, there were several challenges that we needed to overcome:
- The patio was a rooftop and thus needed to remain waterproof.
- The patio was right in front of the announcer's stand. So, it needed to be very low profile.
- The roof was not strong enough to support the weights required to secure the tent.
- The patio had two levels.
Each of these challenges alone would have been difficult to solve. After surveying the location and extensive discussion on what would be the best solution, we worked with Anchor Industries to design a custom tent that all sloped in one direction. This created a solution that gave Mohegan sun the needed space until their new facility was completed. The tent was complete with lighting, heating and all the necessary amenities for a great outdoor event...rain or shine. Do you have a difficult tenting challenge? Contact us today. We'd love to help.

What If a Storm Comes While the Tent Is Up?
What is the difference between a frame tent and a pole tent?
This article is part of a series of posts with further explanation on many of our frequently asked questions.
Many people wonder what the difference is between a frame tent and a pole tent. This article will be a bit more technical than most. So, I'll do my best to make it easy to understand.
Pole tents, also known as tension structures are an evolution of the earliest type of tents. The forerunners to modern pole tents were the big top circus tents of the past. They have one or more high peaks in the center. Their structure comes from the fabric itself. They can be installed quickly with no need for beams to support them. Many of today's pole tents are engineered to withstand up to 70 mph sustained winds and 90 mph gusts. Pole tents are the most economical type of tent that we offer. They are great for weddings, backyard parties and other events of all kinds. They have tall, graceful peaks and airy spacious interiors. Many people prefer this style over the more traditional square frame tent appearance. They can be installed on nearly any surface where stakes can be driven into the ground.
While pole tents fill the needs of most of our customers, there are some situations where only a frame tent will fit the bill. Frame tents, also known as clearspan structures or clearspan tents offer some unique advantages. Sometimes, tents must be secured with weights instead of driving stakes into the ground. In locations where a driveway cannot be penetrated or where underground utilities make it unsafe to drive stakes, a frame tent with weights is the perfect solution. Frame tents are much more flexible in the ways that they can secured. They can be installed on a deck, patio or even the rooftop of a building. Frame tents have other advantages as well. They have no interior poles. This is great for construction projects where machinery must work inside the tent or events where poles would obstruct the flow of people. Frame tents also work well as weather protection for a stage at a graduation ceremony or other outdoor event with a large audience. Lighting and speakers can be hung from the aluminum beams of the tent. The front of the stage can be completely unobstructed by tent poles. Frame tents can also be easily raised to a taller height to cover a stage or to allow machinery to enter the tent. Some people prefer the more modern, "Euro" appearance of a frame tent.
Still not sure which type of tent you'll need? Contact us and let our representatives find the best solution for your event. Whichever type of tent you choose, rest assured that Tents For Rent will provide you with a quality tent and excellent service to make your event successful.
