Question 1

What size tent should I rent?

Accepted Answer

When inquiring about the size of the tent, consider the following factors:

How many guests do you want to accommodate underneath the tent?
What are the measurements of the space where the tent will be situated? 
What else would you want inside the tent other than the guests (table and chairs)? Other products can include buffet/food tables, cake table, head table, dance floor, stage, bar, decor items, etc.
Once we know the answers to these questions, we can recommend the best size tent for your event.

Question 2

Are weights needed for my tent?

Accepted Answer

Weights are NOT needed if the tent is going on grass. If the tent is going on anything other than grass (such as asphalt, interlock, patio, deck, etc.) then cement weights are required to anchor the tent. If there is an important pipeline or septic tank underneath the surface, then weights are required as well. We use 350-400 Lbs. cement weights to anchor our tents.

Question 3

Should I rent a tent for my backyard event?

Accepted Answer

Backyard events tend to be more private and intimate, whether it be weddings, birthday parties, special anniversaries or celebrations. We always tell our customers to be well prepared for anything to happen on the day of their event. That being said, a tent is always the best and safest option to go with. If the weather is rainy, windy or sunny, a tent can shelter your guests from all types of weather. Canadian weather is so unpredictable, so it’s always best to plan for the worst.

Question 4

Is a permit required for my tent?

Accepted Answer

A permit is NOT required for tents that are 600 sq.ft. or smaller. For anything larger than 600 sq.ft. (20’x30’ tent), a permit is required and the city has a right to inspect. For most private events, the city will not inspect. However, for public events and large corporation events, a permit may be required. Contact us for the engineered drawings and the safety certificates.

Question 6

Accepted Answer
