The Tent Connection has the inventory to service large outdoor events with multiple tents and large quantities of tables and chairs. Provided with enough time, our crews can set up hundreds of tents and distribute thousands of tables and chairs. If you are promoting an event in the Northeast give us a call. All of our tents are frame style also known as clear span. They do not have any center poles and are very adaptive to custom set-ups. A variety of methods can be incorporated in securing them to surfaces such as blacktop, grass or cement. Larger tents are required to have a minimal amount of staking or 1000 lb. weights to insure they are stable. When we stake in blacktop pilot holes are made and stakes are placed through them. On take down these holes are filled with stone and cold patch and compacted. The holes are soon undetectable. Adequate staking is an important safety issue with tenting ands needs to be treated as such. Our experienced crews can transform a back yard into a dry and shaded place for your special function. Provided that your yard is fairly flat and accessible, we can set up our frame tents in areas where conventional pole tents will not fit. Space is maximized with elimination of center poles and the flexibility of staking. Once the tent is up we can bring in the tables, chairs, dance floor, staging and/or lighting. Tables and chairs are stacked under the tent. The customer or caterer must set up and break down. Tables can be covered with our disposable cater cloth or fitted plastic coverings, rented linens or something equivalent. Determining the tent size is important and a good place to start with an outdoor event. Tent size and the amount of tables and chairs are determined by the number of guests and the activity taking place.
