Entertaining outdoors this summer? Order a Party Tent

By Andy Mason

When it comes to arranging an event to be held outdoors one of the first things that need to be arranged is cover for those attending the event should the weather turn bad? Today there are numerous companies who hire our party tents and all that go inside them in a wide variety of different shapes, sizes and styles.

So of course when hiring party tents the first thing you need to decide up is what kind of one it is you want for your event. There are two types to choose from. Either you go for the traditional style party tent made from canvas and which uses poles and guy ropes to hold it in place and keep the structure up.

The other kind of party tent that you can now hire comes with a aluminium frame and these are much easier to erect and require no guy ropes or poles for them to remain in place or up. With this particular style of party tent you will find that they can be placed on any kind of surface and also close to other structures. Also you will find that unlike the traditional style party tents the aluminium ones are more stable and allow more area to be covered.

Another thing about using the aluminium framed party tents is that decorating them is a lot simpler and quicker to achieve. The roof is pitched so installing the right sort of lighting to create the perfect atmosphere for your event is much easier as well.

Because of the lightness of the frame the material covering the aluminium party tents is made from polyester, which has a much softer feel to it and also is much more pliable. But this material is just as durable as the canvas used on traditional types of party tents and will still protect those inside from the elements.

It is important that whether you hire a traditional or aluminium framed party tent that you may sure that it is correctly positioned. The first thing you need to make sure of is that the surface on which the party tent is to be erected is flat and even. Also you need to ensure that the party tent has been situated as to the essential services like water and power that you will need. If you keep such factors in mind when determining what type of party tents to hire then you will find it much easier to remain in line with the budget that has been set for the event.

Another thing you need to be taking into consideration before hiring party tents is what size you require. If you need a large one then you will need plenty of space on which it can be erected. Also the larger the tent then the more time will be required by the hire company to erect and decorate it and then to take it down after the event has finished.

Many people today are seeing the benefit of hiring party tents rather than rooms in hotels for holding major events in today. Along with costing much less they also offer the chance to locate your event in some wonderful places. However, before you do hire such a structure you should spend some time looking at the various companies who hire out such facilities so you can make a more informed decision on which one to use. - 15266
