How to buy Party Tents

Buying a party tent or marquee tent, requires research and planning. Party tents come in a variety of prices, colors, sizes, materials, and structures so take every element of its planned use into consideration.

Planning

Calculate the number of guests and amount of furniture you intend to use when calculating the size of the ten you will need. Knowing the planned activities is important in choosing the the ten's needed height, flooring and lighting.

Selection

Study the seller’s tents carefully. Consider purchasing a used tent rather than a new one. Choose the material based on durability, climate and how easily it can be cleaned. The ground under the tent and weather, determine whether stakes or leg weights are needed. The siding and roofing of the tent should complement the type of entertainment, climate and time of day the tent will mainly be used.

Considerations

Validate your choice by asking the seller questions that are pertinent to the event. They should include the product's durability, maximum capacity, installation, and storage after the event. Make sure the tent is legal in your area and is compliant with the fire marshal’s safety rating CPAI-84. Also, check with the property where your event will be held to ensure that tents are allowed.
