SITE INSPECTIONS
PLEASE NOTE: All tents are meant as temporary shelter and must be evacuated under extreme weather conditions. Tents are NOT guaranteed, 100% waterproof.
Location
After the proper tent size and style (frame tent vs. a pole tent) has been determined, choose a desirable location for tent.
- The minimum area required for a pole tent is 8′ in length and width more than the actual tent size. This allows enough room around all sides for stakes. (Example: A 40′ x 60′ POLE tent requires a minimum of 48′ x 68′)
- The minimum area required for a FRAME tent is approximately 1’ around the perimeter when staking and 6’ around the perimeter when using water barrels.
Overhead
Visually check the specified area for any and all overhead obstructions that could possibly be in the area of the erected tent top.
- This includes tree limbs, branches, basketball rims, power lines, etc.
- Our 30 wide pole tents are 18′ high, 40 wide are 21’high, and 50 wide and 60 wide are 24′ high.
Underground
It is the renter’s responsibility to locate all possible underground utilities that could be located in or around specified area
- Utilities could include, but not limited to water, gas, electric, telephone, sewage, etc.
- If any utilities lay underground of the specified area, THEY MUST BE MARKED.
