Event tents are temporary structures that are designed to provide shelter and protection from the elements during outdoor events. They can be used for a wide range of events, from weddings and parties to corporate events and trade shows. The tents below are or a bicycle safety advocacy group.

The main function of event tents is to provide a covered space that is protected from rain, wind, and sun, allowing the event to proceed regardless of the weather conditions. In addition to protection from the elements, event tents can also create a sense of intimacy and enclosure, helping to define the event space and create a more immersive and engaging experience for attendees.


Event tents come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from small pop-up tents that can be set up quickly and easily, to large-scale structures that can accommodate hundreds of people. They can be customized with a range of features, including lighting, heating and cooling systems. Tents play a vital role in ensuring the success of outdoor events by providing a safe, comfortable, and visually appealing space for guests to gather and enjoy the festivities.



Types of Tents

Finding the right tent for your needs is crucial. In the video above you can see multiple styles for different needs and purposes. So, what kind of tent do I need and what can I order to create my very own custom tent?

  1. Pop Up Canopies: These tents are designed to be lightweight, portable, and easy to set up. They are ideal for smaller events, such as farmer's markets, fairs, and outdoor craft shows.

  2. Commercial Frame Tents: These tents use a metal frame to support the structure that is composed of aluminum poles. They can be set up on any surface, including concrete and asphalt, and are ideal for events where staking the tent is not possible.

  3. High Peak Tents: High peak tents are pole tents with a unique peaked roof design, offering an elegant and versatile space for outdoor events. They are an alternative to commercial frame tents because they have a more elegant design as opposed to the classic design of the standard frame tent.

  4. Inflatable Tents: Inflatable tents are temporary structures that can be quickly and easily inflated, providing a unique and eye-catching space for outdoor events.

Choosing the right type of event tent will depend on the specific needs of your event, including the size of the space, the number of guests, and the type of event you are hosting/attending. Of course, we are here to help with not only ideas but in the entirety of the customization process.
