40' Wide Pole Tents
Pole tents are our most popular wedding tent rental because they have very little metal to detract from the elegance of the event. They have high sweeping peaks that create a blank canvas to decorate with lighting and fabric decor. They are also the most economical tent per square foot. All of our pole tents can be outfitted with flooring, walls, heaters, and air conditioning to help further protect your event from the elements.

There are many factors that go into sizing a tent, such as the available area at the event location, style of tent being used, event type, and power requirements to name a few. Due to all the possible variations, it is always best to have a tent rental expert discuss your event needs with you, and view your event location to size your tent properly.
