Do you need to hire a tent yet you don’t know where to start? Here are a few tips to help you pick an ideal yet functional tent for any private or corporate event.

Start looking for an appropriate tent as soon as you can

There are times in a year when most people choose to hold their functions. For instance, during the summer when the weather is nice and warm, there is an increase in outdoor activities and consequently, the demand for tents increases. An early search will allow you to pick a tent with all the qualities you need.

Know the numbers

Working without a number is a recipe for disaster.  Just like not having enough food for your guests can be embarrassing, not having enough space for them to stand or sit during the occasion can be a major turn off. Knowing the number of guests who will come to your event will help you pick the right tent to hire, which is neither too big nor too small.

Value versus price

Different companies hire out their tents at various prices, and although you might associate high prices with high quality, it is not always the case. Instead of using the price as a determinant, aim at getting value for money, and you might get a good quality tent at a fair price.

Is the tent company insured or not?

Insurance will cover you in case an accident occurs, injuring your guests and property gets damaged. Such accidents may happen at any time without warning, and the best thing you can do is to be prepared.

How old is the tent you intend to hire?

Some tents will be in good shape even after many years of use while other will be quite worn out. It is a good idea to inspect the tents before hiring them to avoid any nasty surprises. Inspecting them will also give you a clue how strong they are and if they meet the required minimum standards for tents.

 At what location is your tent being put up?

The location will determine what kind of tent to get and whether you will need to consider other things such as heating and lighting. The safety in the area should also be a priority for everyone’s security.

Book early

You can never go wrong by booking early; booking as early as possible will help rid your mind of worries and ensure that you will hire the right tent for the right occasion and not have to settle for what is available.
