FAQ - Houston, TX Globe String Lights for Tents | Sky High Party Rentals

Question 1

Can your tents be used on concrete?

Accepted Answer

For an additional fee, Sky High supplies water barrels that will keep your tent secure on concrete and hard surfaces. Please keep in mind that in order for the barrels to effectively secure your tent, your location must be able to provide a source of water also.

Question 2

What are the different types of tents available for rent?

Accepted Answer

The types of tents available for rental typically include pole tents, which are supported by poles and are ideal for larger events; frame tents, which have no center poles and offer a clear span of space; canopy tents, perfect for small gatherings or daytime events; and clear top tents, which provide a unique aesthetic by allowing guests to view the sky.

Question 3

How do I choose the right size tent for my event?

Accepted Answer

Choosing the right size tent depends on the number of guests, the type of event, and the space required for other elements like dance floors, tables, and chairs. A general rule is to allow 10-12 square feet of space per person for banquet-style seating and 15-20 square feet per person for cocktail-style events.

Question 4

How much space will my tent require?

Accepted Answer

At least 5' of space surrounding the perimeter of the tent is required (Although 10' is recommended). We recommend that you perform all area measurements before the day of your event.

Question 5

What do I do in the event of an emergency weather situation with the tent?

Accepted Answer

In the event of a hurricane, tornado, or thunderstorm, evacuate the vicinity of the tent and seek shelter immediately. Very strong winds can displace the tent, allowing it to topple or move freely. Call us immediately, however keep in mind we use very strong stakes and heavy water barrels to secure tents from the ground.

Question 6

How are your tents cleaned and sanitized?

Accepted Answer

All tents and rental items are cleaned and sanitized as they are returned.

Question 7

What product do you use to clean the tents?

Accepted Answer

We only use (ARA) American Rental Association approved chemicals to clean all tents after every use.

Question 8

How high are drive-through tents?

Accepted Answer

We use 10ft poles for drive through tents.

Question 9

What size tents do you recommend for drive through capability?

Accepted Answer

You can use a 10x10 tent if you just need a place for shade while cars pass by. Another option is to use a 20 x 20 tent or bigger with our 10ft poles.

Question 10

How far in advance should I book a tent rental?

Accepted Answer

It's advisable to book a tent rental as soon as you have your event details finalized, especially during peak seasons like summer or early fall. For large events or specific tent types, booking several months in advance may be necessary.

Question 11

What should I consider when selecting a site for tent installation?

Accepted Answer

Key factors include the size of the site, ground conditions (grass, concrete, asphalt), accessibility for setup crews, and any overhead obstructions like branches or power lines. Ensure the site is level and has adequate space for all event components.

Question 12

How much does it cost to rent a tent?

Accepted Answer

Rentals start from $395, with delivery, setup, and pickup included. Your exact price depends on the unit, your event date, and delivery location - enter your date and ZIP on any product to see the live price and confirm it is available.

Question 13

How many people fit under a tent?

Accepted Answer

Allow about 10 sq ft per guest for rows of seating, or 15 sq ft with tables. So a 20x40 tent (800 sq ft) holds ~80 standing / ~50 seated at tables; a 30x30 ~90 / ~60; a 40x80 ~320 / ~200. Tell us your guest count and we'll size it right.
