FAQs

Q: What size tent will I need for my event?

A:

The first thing you must decide when renting a tent is the proper size to accommodate your guests. Our event specialists can help you with that. If you decide on a pole tent, either a Navi-Trac or Century tent, you need to allow an extra 5 feet around the perimeter of the tent. This means that if you are renting a 20’× 20’ tent you need a 30’x 30’ area for installation. In addition to the perimeter of the tent you will need to also consider things above the tent, such as trees and utility lines.

Q: Do I need to cut my grass before installation?

Q: Do tents need permits?

A:

Tents are not permanent structures, but permits are required if the tent is being erected on public land. The fee for a permit varies based on the requirements of your city or town. Pranzi Tents and Events will take care of contacting the appropriate authority and pull a permit as needed. The cost of the permit will be added to the rental of your tent, and listed separately. For tents going on a private residence there typically is no a need to pull a permit.

Q: What about item rental security?

Q: Can you barbeque underneath the tent?

Q: What ground surfaces can a tent be constructed on?

Q: What measurements do I have to take when renting a tent?

A:

First you will need to arrange for a site visit. Our staff will survey the area and help you decide which size tent best suits your event and available space. Second, the area will need to be staked-off prior to the delivery/set up date. For the safety of our employees, you, your family and your guests, the Pranzi Tents and Events staff will call Dig Safe Inc. to pre-mark the area so that we are aware of any underground utilities prior to set up.
