There are several types of tents available for rental, including frame tents, pole tents, sailcloth tents, pop-up canopies, and clear-top tents. Frame tents are versatile and can be set up on various surfaces, while pole tents feature center poles and are ideal for larger gatherings. Sailcloth tents offer an elegant look with their translucent fabric, and pop-up canopies are great for smaller events. Clear-top tents provide an open-air feel while still offering protection from the elements. For more details, check out our tent types guide.

To determine the appropriate tent size, consider the type of event and the number of guests. A general guideline is to allocate 10-15 square feet per seated guest and 6-8 square feet per person for cocktail-style events. For example, a 20x20 tent can accommodate around 40 seated guests, a 20x40 tent fits approximately 80, and a 40x60 tent can host about 200 people. It's best to consult with your provider for tailored sizing recommendations.

Tent permit requirements vary by municipality, tent size, whether it's commercial or residential, and fire code. We recommend contacting the Provo city government, building department, or fire marshal's office directly to confirm requirements for your specific event.

It's generally advised to book tent rentals 3-6 months in advance during peak season (May through September), particularly for weddings. For smaller events or off-season bookings, 4-6 weeks ahead may suffice. Always reach out to providers directly to check their availability.

Prices for tent rentals can vary significantly based on factors such as tent size, type (frame, pole, or sailcloth), rental duration, delivery distance, and additional features like sidewalls, flooring, lighting, and HVAC. While a small 10x10 tent may start at around $150, larger options like a 40x60 wedding tent could range from $1,500 to $4,000 or more. It's advisable to request quotes from multiple providers for comparison.

When evaluating tent rental companies, consider their Google ratings and the number of reviews for credibility. Look into the services they provide, such as delivery, setup, and takedown. Check if they handle insurance and permits, their cancellation and rain policies, and whether extras like sidewalls, flooring, lights, and heating/cooling are included or available as add-ons. Our directory highlights ratings and review counts to assist in your comparison.

Typically, a standard tent rental includes the tent itself, basic setup and takedown, and delivery within a designated local area. Additional items like sidewalls, flooring, lighting, tables, chairs, linens, heaters, and fans are often offered as separate add-ons or as part of a full event package. It's important to confirm what is included with each provider before finalizing your booking.
