Title: Which Event Tents are best for Outdoor Events?
1 Which Event Tents are best for Outdoor
Events? The demand for various types of event
tents has been steadily rising across the United
States and across the world. Any memorable event
is only as successful as its planning, setup,
and execution. Custom event tents can make any
get- togethers, parties, weddings and several
other occasions for celebrations a great
success. Whats more, if you are planning to host
outdoor events, you will require a thorough
understanding of which outdoor events tents are
best-suited for what you have in mind. Outdoor
celebrations require adequate protection from the
elements, must have enough space for a large
number of invitees, should add some flair to the
party and must also be sturdy.
- For outdoor events, there are several options you
can choose from, including crest, pavilion and
pinnacle tents. Unless you have a pretty good
idea about each of these variants, theres a
chance that your much-anticipated party or a
family get-together may fizzle out due to a
sudden downpour. - For your ready reference, listed below are two
separate types of tents. The first list, or
Section A deals with the different types of
event tents. Section B will follow and it will
cover those event tents that are best-suited for
outdoor use. Lets begin! - Section A- The many types of event tents
- There are several technical terms associated with
these structures that make it pretty difficult
for the layperson to select the perfect tent. - To that end, we have broken down all event tents
into 2 broad categories - The first one is an instant canopy These
models have multiple centre poles inside and all
across the perimeter. These poles are usually
manufactured of
2- durable metal. The poles ensure that event tents
are well-supported and there is a low chance of
any untoward incidents. - The second type is the event tent. These do not
have any internal supporting poles these are
supported and held down by a metal frame.
Aluminium is used most frequently. These tents
are available in a wide variety of sizes. Some
may be your run-of-the mill 8x8 pop-ups while
the biggest ones can have diameters of 50 feet
or more! - Do note that pole tents are generally larger than
the other type.
Instant canopies explored These are usually the
go-to models for different types of events. They
are versatile, cost significantly lesser when
compared with a frame tent, and have been around
the longest. There are 2 principle types of such
diy tents used worldwide. These are the
following. 1. Party/all-purpose canopies These
are the most basic event tents in this category.
Party tents are lightweight, can withstand the
harsh sun and can also provide protection from a
few spells of rain. Of course, they are not as
efficient if it starts raining heavily. Most of
these models are available in the 15x15 plus
the 20x20 size versions. These are rather easy
to set up 2 experienced people can finish the
job in half an hour!
3- Depending on the model you are purchasing, you
will also get a set of sidewall ropes, stakes,
poles and a user manual. - During our research, we came across Extreme
Canopy, a renowned retailer of event tents and
plenty of high-grade accessories. They are
located in Southern Californias Huntington
Beach, a city close to the sea. Extreme Canopy
is the American subsidiary of The Extreme
Corporation, a leader in this business since
2003. - Also Read Which Kind Of Personalised Canopy
Tents Are Best for Brands? - Pros and cons of instant canopies
- These tents are lightweight, portable, and have a
vinyl covering that acts as a barrier to the
elements. Conversely, these event tents are not
available in larger variants and should not be
your first choice if the weather forecast
indicates chances of gusty winds and heavy
rainfall! - Heavy-duty pole tents/Party tents
- As the name suggests, these are hardier than the
previous model. These tents require a large and
clean area for staking think of gardens, lush
lawns and even asphalt parking bays. These event
tents are extremely durable and are much better
at resisting bad weather. - Two sizes are used on most occasions the 40
the larger 60 variants. These party tents have
been improved upon in recent years and their
central poles used nowadays are brilliantly
engineered to withstand high winds. Smaller sizes
are also available if the event demands it. - Pros and cons of heavy-duty party tents
- The positives include the durability of these
models, besides the fact that party tents are
considerably less expensive when compared with
equivalent frame tents. On the other hand, there
might be some difficulty locating a large-enough
spot for staking. - Event tents explored
4Now we come to the frame tents, the ones which do
not require any central supporting
structure. These wonderful items traditionally
have a vinyl top which is securely attached to
the metal frame. As we mentioned earlier,
aluminium is the most common metal used in this
type of event tents. Round aluminium tubings, in
fact, constitute much of the entire frame
regardless of the size of the tent. One huge
advantage of these tents is their versatility.
For example, high-quality models can provide an
open and uninterrupted view of the outside since
the aluminium frames allow the installation of
sidewalls. These features make frame tents
excellent for hosting larger groups of people
without having to worry about the weather
conditions. Some top-range frame tents also make
for ideal event tents, since multiple
independent compartments can be created using
walkway canopies. You can easily carve out a
separate food counter, a bar, and even small
shelters for children to play in. Overall, these
are great options for all sorts of parties and
family reunions, now that the COVID wave is
receding a bit with each passing day. Pros and
cons of event tents There are no perfect
tents these models too have their own share of
good and not-so-good aspects. Advantages include
plenty of room inside, the ease of setting them
up, adjustable height, numerous opportunities of
customizing the interiors including adding
chandeliers etc., and the fact that they can be
custom-built with your ideas as the main design
aspects. One major disadvantage is the high
price-tag that these event tents bear. Plus, you
might also need to pay some additional amounts
for specialized or bespoke equipment which are
used for proper installation. Internal
decorations are also worth a considerable
sum. Section B The best tents for outdoor
events Outdoor events bring with them entirely
new sets of challenges. Many of the event tents
mentioned in Section A can also be used
indoors, provided there is enough room. Outdoor
tents must be almost immune to inclement weather
conditions, must be strong and should ideally be
easy to assemble and pack-up.
5- Here are some professional-backed ideas for
outdoor tents. - 1. Pop-up event canopies These lightweight and
gaily printed tents are widely used across trade
fairs, sporting arenas, open-air music concerts
and the like. We went through the collection at
Extreme Canopy and their range of Pavilion tents
stood out. These are extraordinarily hardy units
which use 2 ½ aluminium frames to combine both
strength and low weight. - These are essentially frame tents. They are
renowned for their affordability and their roofs
made from Siren PVC. - Pagoda frame tents These tents can be set up on
almost any surface so long as the right
accessories are used. We believe that the range
of Pinnacle tents, also manufactured by Extreme
Canopy, is the best in this category. They are
certainly more robust and a lot more durable than
the Pavilion model, given their heavy-duty
aluminium frames. - The Pinnacle range is clearly one of the best
event tents available for outdoor use at the
moment. - With no guy ropes and without any central
supporting pole, these models are customizable
for different kinds of events! - Heavy-duty frame tents Planning to host a
seriously large party with several guests, plus
arrangements for food and drinks? Check out Crest
tents, another model rolled out by Extreme
Canopy. These giant freestanding structures are
best-suited for weddings, corporate events and so
on. Their modular design is fantastic and the
structure seems as solid as a brand-new ship! - Finally, all of these outdoor events tents can
also be used for business promotional purposes
as well. For private events with close friends,
nothing beats Crest tents, a byword for luxury
in a tent!
