Commercial Tents: A Tent for Every Event



Commercial Tents: A Tent for Every Event
What do construction projects, corporate events, graduation parties, and outdoor weddings have in common? They are all ideal situations for a tent. Commercial tents are great for company picnics, trade shows, parties, and temporary warehouse storage as well. They are durable, versatile, and can be tailored for a variety of events. Some advantages of tents include:

·         They come in a wide range of sizes, so they can accommodate a variety of events
·         They can be equipped with heat, air-conditioning, hard-surface floors, carpets, and electric lighting
·         They can be set up and dismantled quickly
·         They are portable, and so can be put up in places where permanent structures aren't available.

There are a variety of tent types, each with their own advantages:

·         Pole tents come in a variety of colors, and have that classic peaked roof look. They are best used for short-term purposes, as they do not resist severe weather as well as some other types of commercial tents.
·         Tension tents are similar to pole tents in that they come in different colors and have attractive peaks. However, the support tension is distributed equally throughout the roof, which allows for a variety of designs.
·         Pipe frames are the least expensive, but also the smallest type of tent. They are good for backyard parties and other small events where you want to provide shelter from the sun or rain.
·         Clear span tents are ideal for events, especially larger ones. Their modular design means that they can be configured in nearly any width and length, and can be large enough to cover up to over 100,000 square feet. They are strongly weather-resistant, and are designed for both short and long-term use.

Because there are a variety of commercial tents available, your best option is to speak to an experienced professional about which type works best for your event.
