Pole tents
Pole tents give you that classic backyard wedding look. The center poles lift the top into tall peaks, and they are an invitation to decorate: wrapped in fabric, strung with globe lights, or hung with a chandelier. Our 40-foot-wide pole tents can be built longer than the sizes in the catalogue: if you need a 40 x 200, we can make that happen. Our largest tent, a 60 x 100, is the one that goes up for Grandma’s Marathon.
One thing to plan for: a pole tent is staked, so it needs an additional five feet on each side. A 40 x 80 tent wants a 50 x 90 patch of lawn.
Frame tents
Would you like a flexible tent that can be weighted or staked? A frame tent stands on its own frame, with no poles in the middle of the room, so tables and a dance floor can go anywhere under it. We offer traditional frame tents and high peak frame tents, up to 40 x 100. Because a frame tent can be held down with weights instead of stakes, it is a good fit for a driveway or a patio.
Canopy tents you set up yourself
Would you like to set up a tent on your own? Our canopy tents come in 20 x 20, 20 x 30 and 20 x 40, with setup instructions, and they are a great option for small backyard gatherings and graduation parties. Pick one up at our shop on Ogden Avenue and we will load it for you. If you want the tent, tables and chairs in one price, see our graduation packages.
Sidewalls, lights and heaters
Sidewalls close a tent in against wind and rain, solid or with windows, with doors to match. String lights, globe lights and chandeliers finish it after dark, propane and diesel heaters keep it warm when the evening turns cold, and fans keep the air moving on a hot afternoon.
How to choose a tent
Start with three questions, and the answer usually picks itself.
- What is underneath it? Grass takes stakes, so any tent works. On pavement, a frame tent can sit on weights, and a pole tent can be anchored into the asphalt with the property owner’s permission.
- What happens under it? A seated dinner with a dance floor needs far more room per guest than a ceremony in rows or a standing reception. Tell us which, and we will draw it.
- What should it look like? High peaks and center poles read as a wedding. A clear span reads as a room. Window walls keep the view; solid walls keep the weather out.
You do not have to guess, and you do not need to know your tent size. Most people know how many guests are coming, and that is where we start. Our Party CAD system lays out the tent, the tables, the bar and the dance floor to scale, so the layout is settled before anything is loaded onto a truck.
