In this blog we’ll offer some creative uses for your tents – from warm up rooms to pop-up shops. Read on for ideas on expanding your offerings and making the most of your commercial event tent fleet!

Event Industry

Events are the bread and butter for many of our clients! From weddings, to commercial events, to festivals, tents are prominent in the event industry. They provide weather protection, style, and even branding options. Also, tents are easily customizable which makes them able to accommodate nearly any type of event – no matter the location or size.

Construction Industry

Have you ever thought about how your commercial event tents could be used in the construction industry? Tents are an appealing option for construction sites because they offer mobile workspaces for meetings, equipment storage, work breaks, and office spaces. Additionally, tents can help construction crews protect their equipment and unfinished projects from the elements.

Sports & Entertainment Industry

Sports fans and concert goers alike can benefit from commercial event tents! For athletes or musicians, tents can serve as a warm up room, VIP lounge, or a setting for press conferences. On the spectator side, tents can serve as temporary seating or viewing areas. Also, they can be used for pop-up shops so fans can buy merchandise to take home from the event.

Emergency Services And Disaster Relief

When disasters strike, tents can be a big help to those in need. They can serve as temporary housing for displaced individuals, medical facilities, emergency supply storage, and even as control centers in emergency situations. Would you consider using your commercial event tents for this cause?

Restaurant Industry

The COVID-19 pandemic rapidly increased demand for commercial event tents in the restaurant industry as consumers prioritized safe, outdoor dining options. Tents became a game-changing solution, helping restaurants:

• Expand their outdoor seating which not only aligned with social distancing guidelines, but also helped restaurants accommodate more guests.
• Create ambient al fresco dining experiences.
• Establish weather-protected outdoor dining experiences – extending their seasonal operations.

Beyond the pandemic, tents are still used in the hospitality industry to help restaurants maximize their space and create elevated experiences for their customers. Now, commercial event tents provide comfortable, customizable and stylish rooftop bars, garden cafes, and more.

Retail Industry

Even if stores have brick-and-mortar locations, they could still benefit from tents for a variety of occasions. Tents can be useful for retailers in the following ways:

• Customizable pop-up shops for special events or sales
• Mobile shops for attending trade shows and outdoor markets
• Short-term expansion for brick-and-mortar locations

By tapping into this market, tent renters can diversify their client base while increasing their rental revenue.

Agricultural Events, Educational Workshops, and More!

From temporary greenhouses to covers for farm equipment, tents have many uses in agriculture and beyond! Commercial event tents can provide an excellent shelter during a variety of agricultural events including livestock auctions and farm equipment demonstrations.

Beyond agriculture, educational workshops often necessitate tents. When classes go outdoors, they need coverage for field trips, outdoor science labs, outdoor classrooms, and more. Protection from the elements helps students focus on learning!

On top of all of the use cases listed above, there are even more uses to consider for your commercial event tent fleet! Here is a non-exhaustive list:

• Outdoor workout classes
• Wine tastings
• Fairs
• Drive in movie theaters
• Religious services
• Political rallies
• Pet adoption clinics

Tents can make all of the events above more enjoyable by providing protection from the wind, rain, and sun, while creating the customizable spaces that are suitable for a variety of needs.
