There’s nothing quite like a great outdoor party. Whether you’re planning for a birthday, corporate event, wedding, graduation, anniversary, or just a Sunday backyard barbeque, holding your event outside adds a unique and personal touch. Undoubtedly one of the most important items you’ll need when planning the ultimate event is an outdoor event tent.

It’s important to select the right outdoor event tent for your occasion and needs. There are two basic categories of event tents: the traditional pole tent and the frame tent. These two types of tents differ in the process of installation required as well as the structural framework used to keep the tent upright.

Pole Tent

A pole tent relies on poles within the center of the tent as well as peripheral poles covered by a tent-top. It may be installed on surfaces which can be staked, such as grass or asphalt. The tent’s center poles are not driven into the ground; instead they are tensioned and secured using ropes, ratchets, and stakes. These center poles provide a good deal of support and strength, thus allowing for a pole tent to cover much larger areas than a frame tent can cover.

Frame Tent

A frame tent does not use support poles down the middle. Instead, the frame tent uses interlocking bars which join together to form a rigid metal structure capable of supporting the tent-top. The result is an enclosed area which is uninterrupted by standing poles. Frame tents can be staked in place, like pole tents, but they may also be simply held down by weights. Frame tents can be installed on just about any needed surface, even wood decks and patios.

Before deciding on an event tent, carefully consider the size of your venue and how many guests you will be entertaining. Other important items you may want to consider include tables, chairs, buffets, dance floors, china, linens, flatware, and catering equipment.
