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.
For more information, see our tent washing page.
Tent Washer
We've just received our new tent washer. It's the largest tent washer on the market and can wash 5,000 square feet of tent fabric at once. It is specially designed to gently clean tent fabric without damaging it. This will enable us to keep our tents looking their best all year.
Rooftop Tent Installation
Tents For Rent and it's partners created an event in a tent on the top of a parking garage for a donor dinner at the Hershey Medical Center.
Sailcloth Tents
Recently a new style of tent has been introduced. It has its roots in the nautical industry and it is increasingly popular for all types of events. Inspired by the sea, it is constructed of sail cloth material. With nautical flair, the sculpted peaks and eaves combine with a no-valance design, creating an open air event space like nothing you’ve seen before. The translucence of sail cloth enhances daytime events with natural light, and positively glows when lit for evening gatherings. The tents have rounded ends and have 10’ openings between the sidepoles. They come in a wide range of sizes:
20’x17’, 20’x27’, 20’x37’
32’x 30’, 32’x40’, 32’x50’, 32’x60’
44’x43’, 44’x63’, 44’x83’, 44’x103’, 44’x123’
We are considering adding these tents to our inventory and we’d like to get your feedback about these tents. Would you be interested in them? Do you like the look of them? The cost to rent them would likely be about 25% more than a similarly sized standard pole tent. Contact us to let us know what you think. We look forward to hearing from you.

Hurricane Weddings
Numerous couples had weddings planned for the weekend that hurricane Irene arrived. We were able to save the day for a number of weddings. The rain created many challenges. However, the weddings went on in spite of all the rain and wind. Here is an article about it:

Well, Hurricane Irene came, saw, and conquered.
She may have put a “damper” on some east coaster’s plans, but for those getting married, it was just the opposite.
Luckily, for the special couples that secured Saturday, August 27th, 2011 as their wedding date, had many fine wedding professionals that helped make their big day a success without a flaw, or drop of water!
We were so impressed by the performance of Tents For Rent LLC that we want to share the story of the extremes they went to ensure that one wedding in particular went off without a hitch, or a drop. Daryl Sensenig and the staff of Tents for Rent LLC provided a tent for Kristin Keating’s wedding, which hosted 325 people outside the Keating family home in Haverford, PA.
“The hurricane made the installation challenging because it rained during a large portion of the wedding. The day before the wedding, we added 170’ of covered walkway to accommodate the guests coming into the cocktail tent. We also added flooring to the cocktail tent on the Saturday morning of the wedding. The flooring had to be brought in from Washington DC at the last minute in order to fill the requirements.”
“During the wedding, the tents held up very well in the wind. There was a tremendous amount of water runoff that came through the tent because of all the rain, and the floor became flooded in spots. However, everyone had a great time.”
The Keating family was absolutely overjoyed with the services that Tents For Rent LLC provided that day. Daryl fondly remembered a quote from the client, “I cannot get over how we pulled this off. Everything was carried out with heroic efforts. Truly, I feel like I was working with the Red Cross! Everyone, I cannot thank you enough for the beauty of the evening. I cannot tell you how many people told me it was the best wedding they ever attended …the most beautiful wedding they ever attended and the warmest most relaxed (ah HEM…well, we know the truth on that one…) wedding on record, and they had more fun than they ever had a wedding.”
So yes, if your wedding has any outdoor components to it, there is absolutely always the chance of rain. In this case, the most important thing to remember is to always have a rain plan. Discuss the rain plan with your wedding professionals so they know exactly what you want and they can offer you advice on how rain plans typically play out at your specific venue. Just remember…you are marrying your best friend and no amount of rain can ruin your unconditional love for each other. Plus rain is good luck, right?
Bravo to Tents For Rent LLC! You made another couple’s wedding day unforgettable and reminded us all in the biz that the show must go on…even in a hurricane!
Great Wedding, Happy Couple
