Canopies & Tenting Tips
Types of Tents
Danny Thomas Party Rentals provides canopies and tents for any event size. Some of the tent sizes we have available are 10 x 10, 10 x 30, 15 x 15, 20 x 20, 20 x 30, 20 x 40, 20 x 60, 40 x 40, 40 x 60, and 40 x 80. Please contact us if you need larger sizes as we can assist you with any size tent your event requires. We rent frame style tents which have no interior poles, but rather a framework of poles on the outside edges of tent (see picture). Installation is included in the prices to rent our canopies and tents.
For installation on grass, a tent can be anchored with stakes. For installation on a hard surface, water barrels can be used as anchors.
One of our sales representatives would be happy to meet with you to preview your event location and determine your exact tenting needs. There is a 150.00 on site consultation fee charged that is applied towards your rental order. Our on site consultation will include a cad drawing with a scaled drawing of your event.
Types of Tent Siding
To enclose your tent, we have sidewalls which are available in solid white or white with panoramic windows.
Tent Lighting
To light the interior of your tent, we have three kinds of lighting available: five-globe chandeliers which hang from the center of the tent, track lighting which is mounted to the tent frame, and uplighting which is angled upwards to light the tent. A quote can be provided upon request.
Tent Flooring
Black Astroturf and wood subflooring are available.
Climate Control
Equipment to heat/cool the interior of the tent are available. In addition, if your event site does not have the capacity to power these machines, we can provide a generator to supply power to them.
Additional Considerations
There are many additional considerations when renting a tent. Our sales representatives can assist you with city permits (required on all tents over 20' x 20'), debris management, parking issues, security services, site and utility survey, and any other needs you may have. Call to make an appointment for an on-site tent consultation.
