What is the cheapest tents rental?
Rain Gutters 10’, 15’, 20’ at $1.10 per lin. ft.. Remember that delivery is priced per order, so very small orders cost more per item once delivery is added.
Do rental prices include delivery and setup?
No. The prices shown are the rental for one event day: the partner's rate plus our 10% fee. Delivery and pickup, setup, a damage waiver and sales tax are itemized on your free quote before you pay anything.
How can I save on tents rentals?
Size the tent to the seated layout, not the guest list. Book an off-peak date. Skip sidewalls in summer unless rain is forecast. Combining categories on one order also saves, because one delivery covers everything.
