As you may know, tents aren't just for camping outdoors. A professional tent is also a useful rental for outdoor events. If you need local tent rentals, here are some questions to ask.

1. What Events Do You Cover?

There are many types of events that local tent rentals are useful for. According to Zippa, as many as 2 million weddings occur in the U.S. annually. June happens to be the most popular time for weddings, and many of them take place outside. Your local tent contractor may also be able to supply tents for birthdays, banquets, graduations, and other parties.

2. Do You Offer More Services?

Will your event be standing-room only? If not, you may need some other features such as chairs and tables. Some tent companies can offer these services. Some also offer a dance floor so everyone can have a designated space to party the night away outside.

3. Is There a Rental Limit?

Make sure you're clear on any limitations with the rental. Do they have restrictions on the size of the event they can cover? Can they supply tents for a party of 50 people as well as 500 or 1000? For example, if you're having a multiple-day party or festival, you will need to confirm if you can have their tents up for several days or a week.

4. What Is the Pricing?

Don't make assumptions about pricing. You can always compare quotes from at least three different rental companies. Ask if the final fee includes the cost of the tents themselves, setup fees, and delivery fees.

5. Can I See References?

When narrowing down your list of local tent rentals, start asking for references to contact. By talking to references, you'll be able to get insight into the quality of the tent rentals and services available. If the rental company can stand on their work, they shouldn't hesitate to give you these direct contacts.

Whether you're planning a wedding, graduation party, birthday gathering, or plan to have many outdoor events, you want to ensure your guests are protected.
