Delivery FAQs

You must arrange this service during the time of booking. If no setup services were requested and you require them during delivery, the driver(s) will need to receive authorization.

Tent FAQs

  • Pop-Up Canopies:

    Pop-up canopies are typically smaller structures that are designed to be easy to set up and take down. They are often used for backyard parties, picnics, and other events where shade or protection from the elements is needed. Pop-up canopies are typically made with lightweight materials, such as aluminum or steel frames and polyester or nylon canopies. They can be set up quickly without the need for any special tools or equipment.

    Frame Tents:

    Frame tents are larger structures that are typically used for weddings, corporate events, and other larger gatherings. They are freestanding and do not require any support poles in the center of the tent. Frame tents are made with aluminum or steel frames that support the weight of the tent, and they are typically covered with vinyl or polyester material. Frame tents can be set up on any surface, including concrete, asphalt, or grass, making them very versatile.

    Pole Tents:

    Pole tents are similar to frame tents in that they are also used for larger events, but they require support poles in the center of the tent. Pole tents are typically made with vinyl or polyester material that is supported by wooden or metal poles. The poles are staked into the ground and then the tent is raised around them. Pole tents are a little more challenging to set up than pop-up canopies or frame tents, but they are still relatively easy to assemble with a team of people.

    WE ONLY OFFER POP-UP CANOPIES FOR EASY BUDGET-FRIENDLY OPTIONS AND FRAME TENTS AS WE’RE NOT BIG FANS OF POLES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TENT.

  • Typically, we need at least 5 feet around the entire tent to give our team room to build it and maneuver but also to stake into the ground. For example, if you’re needed a 20x20 tent, we need a 30x30 area so we have 5 feet on each side. If you’re unsure if a tent can be installed, please email us the dimensions and a photo of the area to support@theeventrentalguys.com

  • Absolutely! A frame tent can be installed on a hard surface like concrete, asphalt, or any other hard surface. In fact, one of the advantages of a frame tent is that it can be installed on any surface, unlike pole tents that require staking into the ground. To install a frame tent on a hard surface, we use concrete blocks to secure the tent. It's important to ensure that the weights or anchors used are appropriate for the size and weight of the tent being installed.
