Frequently Asked
Questions
How do I book a tent?
To book a tent you should start by
calling us to make sure that the tent size you need is available
for the date you need. If you require any other accessories you
should check on the availablity of those as well. Once we have
confirmed that items you want are available we will take your
information and "put you in the book" which confirms your
items.
If you are renting a pole-style tent,
you will need a grass area that is at least 5 feet larger than the
tent on all four sides. So, for example, a 40'x60' pole-tent
requires a grass area that is 50'x70'. Normally, a frame-stye
tent requires only 2 extra feet of space on all four sides. So, for
example, a 20'x40' frame tent can be set-up in an area that is
24'x44'. The pole-style tent requires an area that is all-grass,
while the frame tent does not. In both cases, the area where the
tent is to be installed cannot have obstructions on the ground or
lack proper overhead clearance. Because it is important to ensure
that a proposed site is suitable, we offer site inspections for
customers who are not sure if they have enough room for a given
tent size.
Yes. We normally will travel to areas
of the Province that are within about 100kms of the city limits,
although we occasionally may decide that we can travel further or
cannot travel that far depending on other commitments that we might
have that weekend. There is a travel charge for locations beyond
Thunder Bay city limits.
We do not rent out any tents that
customers install themselves. Our professional crews have the
experience to set-up the tents. There are so many variables that
contibute to the rigidity and proper set-up of our tents that we
need or installation experts, with all of their experience, to do
it right.
No. There is no charge for delivery of
tables, chairs and dance floor when they are rented with a tent,
even if they are going to an out-of-town location. Once you pay the
travel charge for your location there is no additional charge for
adding items on to your order other than the cost of the items
themselves.
Our customers are responsible for
setting up the tables and chairs. We look after installing the
tent. If you are renting a portable bar or a dance floor we will
install that as well. The tables and chairs we will only deliver
and remove, although we do deliver them to the inside of the tent
when we can.
Our tents come with free 24 hour
emergency service so if you have any problems at all give us a
call!
What happens if the tent gets
damaged while I'm using it?
It all depends what happened. If your
little nephew took a knife and ran down one of the sidewalls you
will be responsible. If somthing happens during a storm then you
are not responsible. We trust or customers will keep our equipment
in the condition they got it so that many other people can enjoy
our services.
What kinds of decorations can I
use?
Crate paper streamers seem to be the
only thing other than packing tape or duct tape that will damage
the tent. If the streamers get wet the colour actually leaches out
and soaks right into the tent material leaving a unrepairable
stain. The tape actually leaves a film of glue on the tent material
that is very difficult to remove.
Can I take some walls down if
it gets to hot inside the tent?
Of course you can. All we ask is that
you fold them up as best you can and keep them in a dry place so
they don't get damaged. After your event just put them in the tent
so that our crews can get them.
