Know Your Structure

Understanding tent types helps you choose the perfect solution for your event

Frame Tents

The versatile standard. No center poles to block the view. Perfect for driveways, patios, and concrete surfaces. Our frame tents can be installed on virtually any surface using weighted anchoring systems.

High Peak / Tension Tents

The elegant choice. Sweeping peaks that look stunning in garden settings. These tents require grass for staking and create a dramatic visual impact with their cathedral-style peaks.

Pop-Up Canopies

The quick solution. Ideal for street fairs, ticket booths, or food vendors. Easy setup and teardown, but not recommended for formal dining events or overnight installations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common tent rental questions

Can you set up a tent on concrete?

Yes, we use frame tents secured with concrete weights or water barrels. This allows us to safely install tents on driveways, patios, parking lots, and other hard surfaces without drilling or staking.

Do I need a permit?

Generally, tents over 400 sq. ft. may require a permit depending on your city and the duration of the event. Our team can advise you on local regulations and handle the permit application process for you.

How much advance notice do you need?

We recommend booking 2-4 weeks in advance, especially during wedding season (May-October). However, we often accommodate last-minute requests based on availability. Contact us as soon as you know your event date.

What if it rains or gets windy?

Our tents are designed to withstand typical California weather conditions. We use proper anchoring techniques and can add sidewalls for rain protection. For extreme weather forecasts, we’ll work with you to ensure guest safety.

Can I see the tent before my event?

Absolutely! We encourage clients to visit our facility to see our inventory in person. You can also request photos of recent installations similar to your event needs.
