What's included with every tent

More than fabric,a full tent package.

Our tent rentals come with delivery, installation, on-site supervision and breakdown by our own crew — plus the option to pair any tent with flooring, lighting, climate control, drape, staging and tabletop from the same warehouse.

Tent types

Frame, pole, clearspan

Frame tents for any surface (asphalt, concrete, grass), pole tents for grass-only applications, and clearspan designs for large single-span events or climate-controlled installs.

Sizes

Any size, any color

Every configuration from small backyard frames to large multi-bay installs — and the largest tent and canopy inventory in SWFL, so we’re almost never booking against ourselves.

Flooring

Subfloor, wood, turf

Pair any tent with flooring — subfloor systems over uneven ground, hardwood dance floors, AstroTurf or carpet — sized and specified for your surface and event.

Climate

HVAC & heaters

Tent-rated HVAC units and heaters in our inventory — because Florida weather doesn’t care about your event date. Sized against your tent, guest count and season.

Lighting

Market, chandeliers, LED

Market lights, pendants, chandeliers, uplighting, pin-spots and programmable LED wash — integrated into the tent install by the same crew.

Walls & drape

Sidewalls & pipe-drape

Sidewalls (solid or window), tent liners, French pleat liners, pipe-and-drape partitions — we dress the inside of the tent as thoroughly as the outside.

Install & strike

Licensed install team

Expert installation team with on-time delivery and breakdown. 24-hour on-call staff, professional appearance, fully licensed and insured.

Add-ons

Everything the tent sits next to.

Tables, chairs, tabletop (china, flatware, glassware), linens, staging, risers, portable bars, skirting, concessions and tent/party accessories — on the same quote, from the same warehouse.

How a tent rental works

Seven steps,from first call to strike.

Every tent — whether a small backyard frame or a large multi-bay clearspan — moves through the same predictable cadence. A local install lead stays with you from scoping through overnight strike.

01
Step 1 · Scoping

Call & meeting

We meet with you or take the initial call to learn about the event — guest count, venue, dates, surface type. This grounds the tent recommendation (type, size, color, accessories) before we quote.

Guest countVenue & surfaceTent type direction

02
Step 2 · Q&A

Theme & servicing

We answer questions on theme, accessories, flooring, climate, lighting, permit needs and anything else relevant to your tent — working through it all up front.

Accessories neededPermit questionsService needs

03
Step 3 · Written review

Layout & quote

We take the information back and prepare a written review with a tent layout, rental spec, and a single line-itemed quote. You’ll see exactly what’s included.

Layout draftLine-item quoteDelivery window

04
Step 4 · Confirm

Present & adjust

A second meeting to confirm the tent selection and hone details together, then present final recommendations and any optional add-ons (climate, lighting, flooring).

Final selectionAdd-on optionsApprovals

05
Step 5 · Coordinate

Suppliers & permits

Once the tent is locked, we contract supporting suppliers, coordinate with your venue, handle any permits or engineering stamps required, and supervise all setup prep.

Permit supportVenue coordinationEngineering stamps

06
Step 6 · Install

Crewed setup

Install begins ahead of the event — tent erected, floors laid, climate tested, lighting run. Our install team is in radio contact throughout and coordinates with your other vendors.

Tent erectedFlooring laidLighting & climate

07
Step 7 · Event & strike

On-site & teardown

On-site during the event (or on-call if the event is unstaffed). Strike begins promptly after event end — tent down, floors up, site cleaned.
