Outdoor Parties - Order a Party Tent

By Andy Mason

If you are arranging an event that is going to be taking place outdoors then you need to arrange some sort of accommodation that guests can go into if the weather turns bad. As you will soon find when it comes to party tents there are many different shapes, sizes and styles that companies can hire to you.

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 choice you have and which is also much easier to erect is the aluminium framed type of party tent. Not only are these easy to erect but don't require guy ropes or poles to keep them up or in place. They can also be situated on any kind of surface and if need to can be erected close to other structures. Also unlike the traditional type of party tents these ones are very stable and can cover a very large area.

Furthermore it is much easier to decorate an aluminium framed party tent than the traditional style ones made from poles and canvas. These types have a traditional style peaked roof and so putting lighting up is easier and you are then able to create the perfect atmosphere for the event that you are holding inside it.

The material used to cover the aluminium framed party tents is polyester which although lighter in weight than the canvas used on the traditional style ones is just as durable. However, it does feel much softer and tends to be more pliable but offers a high level of protection to those inside from the weather.

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.

Something else that you will need to take into consideration when hiring party tents is the size of tent you need. Remember the larger the tent the more space will be required for it to be erected on. Also the bigger the tent the more time the hire company will need for erecting and decorating it and then to actually take it down.

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.
