Reserving a few months ahead allows us to reserve just the size and color of tent and other rental items that you need.
Where can I find pricing information?
This article is part of a series of posts with further explanation on each of our frequently asked questions.
One of the first questions we get when people contact us is, "what is the price?" Everyone is looking for the best value. However, there are many variables in tent pricing. We have a wide range of tent sizes. Any rental of up to three days does not increase the price. However, renting longer than three days will increase the price incrementally. Also, your distance from our location can change the price as well. For this reason, we don't list our prices on our website. As a starting point, 80% of the weddings we serve cost between $350 and $5,000 total. This includes delivery, installation, all the accessories, removal and tax.

Can I Keep a Tent Warm in the Fall?
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.

Tent Washing
Our yearly tent washing is in full swing. We are working hard to be sure that our tents are looking great for the coming summer season. Our new tent washer can wash 5,000 square feet of fabric in each load. It's just like a giant front-load clothes washer. Here are some pictures of the process.
After the tents are washed, we hang them up to dry.
