Canopy

A light duty tent, generally available only as an “over-the-counter” rental for back yard parties and small events. Canopies are an easy to install favorite for the do-it-yourself person. Typically used for short durations, canopies will shield from sun & light rain.  Canopies are only available for a maximum of 3 day rental - not designed for long-term installation. Sidewall is available as an option. ANCHORING METHODS FOR CANOPY TENTS

Rope & Pole Tents
	Rope and Pole Tents use one or more center poles to support the tent. Guy ropes and stakes provide stability. Information about sidewalls will be here in the future. ANCHORING METHODS FOR ROPE & POLE TENTS

Frame Tents
	First, we assemble an aluminum frame, then stretch the fabric over it before standing it on the legs.  These tents offer more versatility from staking.  Water barrels or concrete weights may be substituted for staking where drilling is not an option.  Additionally, frame tents can be erected with a smaller footprint, since guy ropes are not required. This is advantageous when erecting against a house or garage.  Frame tents do not have centerpoles, allowing for unobstructed planning. ANCHORING METHODS FOR FRAME TENTS

Clearspan Tents

A Clearspan tent is the newest generaton of tent or structure. These structures feature an assembled framework of box beam (or I-beam) arches that support the fabric roof and define the shape of the structure, in much the same way as a pipe frame-supported tent. The stronger construction of the aluminum or steelbox-beam frame makes these structures suitable for larger or longer-term applications than other types of tents. The box-beam framework also allows for large areas of unobstructed "clear span" space beneath the fabric roof. Able to withstand extreme weather Some types of Clearspans may withstand heavy snowfall. Side wall slides on a track and are closed to weather. Easiest to heat or A/C Framework allows for unobstructed space ANCHORING METHODS FOR CLEARSPAN TENTS
