When throwing a party, it’s always recommended that you buy a gazebo from party rentals in your area. You can also rent it. Studies show that many people renting party tents for the first time make plenty of costly mistakes. Here are some of the common mistakes and how to avoid them:

Not doing enough research

I can’t tell how many people rent the wrong tents and spend huge amounts of money that they shouldn’t have. Just like in any other business, there are many types of companies in the market that you can rent from. Different rental companies have different types of rental tents. To get the right tent you need to take your time and research the different providers in your area. As rule of thumb never make the mistake of renting from the first rental company that you come across.

To avoid being in a hurry when looking for the tent, start your research early enough. Event planning professionals recommend that you start the process 2-3 months before the event.

Renting the wrong party tent

Party tents come in different sizes, shapes and designs—it’s up to you to choose the one that is right for you. Due to haste or ignorance, most people rent the wrong units. Most of these people rent tents that are either too big or too small for their guests. Others rent old tents that get torn during the party. This results to them being required to repair the tents.

To avoid this, you need to have a plan. Make a list of the number of people that will be attending the party. This is to enable you rent the right size of tent. A good quality tent is one made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polythene. If you find one that isn’t made from any of the two materials, stay away from it.

Poor party tent installation

I bet you have attended an event where the party tent collapsed. The collapse of the tent is as a result of poor installation. To avoid the embarrassment and inconvenience that comes with poor tent installation, hire a professional to install it for you.

Conclusion

Renting the right tent is all about research and proper planning. To rent the right unit, take your time to find a reputable tent rentals in your area. In addition to ensuring that the rental company is reputable also ensure that the tent is of high quality.
