How much does it cost to rent a tent?

Pricing depends on the item you choose, your event date, and your delivery location. Our crew delivers, sets up, and picks up, and the delivery fee for your ZIP is shown at checkout before you pay. Enter your date and ZIP on any product to see that item's live price and confirm it is available.

How much space will my tent require?

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.

How far in advance should I book a tent rental?

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.

How many people fit under a tent?

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.

Can your tents be used on concrete?

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.

What are the different types of tents available for rent?

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.

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

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.

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

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.

How are your tents cleaned and sanitized?

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

What product do you use to clean the tents?

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

How high are drive-through tents?

We use 10ft poles for drive through tents.

What size tents do you recommend for drive through capability?

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.

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

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.

Testimonials

Sky High Party Rentals is the best in the industry (Houston-area) for bounce houses, inflatable water slides, snow cone machine, and lots of other fun party supplies! the delivery team was excellent setting up and taking down the water slide, and they made our event a huge success by their professional work and friendly customer service. We have rented a huge waterslide and snow cone machine from them for many years for our Back to School Fun Day, and we have always had the best experience --all good. A few times there has been a small problem with the equipment, but they sent their crew to us quickly and fixed the problem very fast. This year we did not have any problem at all, so they just dropped off the items and picked them back up when scheduled. It is very easy to rent from this company, because it can all be done online. They also have excellent customer service and when you call you get to talk to a person not a computer. It is easy to get the answer to the question you have, because they have great customer service and it is fast to reach someone. We could not recommend this company more, because like I said they are just simply the best!

The delivery crew took great care of us from start to finish! We rented a dunk tank for our community event, and the entire experience was fantastic. Everything was set up and ready to go when we arrived, and they made the whole process easy and stress-free. They were friendly, helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the event. The dunk tank was a huge hit, and we couldn’t have asked for better service. Five out of five stars! I would absolutely recommend SkyHigh to anyone looking to rent equipment for an event!

We had such a good experience! The bounce house was a hit and we had such a good time celebrating and having fun! It was also a surprise to find a basketball hoop in the bounce house. The kids had fun trying to get balls through the hoop. Timely arrival an hour and twenty minutes before the event and they came by later in the afternoon to pickup. We will definitely keep Sky High Party Rentals in mind for future parties.

10 out of 10 service. The delivery team did an incredible job with everything from helping me book to setting the equipment up and giving me tips on how to optimize the fun using water slide. I have used this company since 2018 for my daughter’s birthdays and play events. Recommend services to friends and family. Already planning the next kids event.

We've rented water slides from Sky High several times over the years for birthday parties, and they've always been great to work with. This year the slide we originally booked was damaged before our event, so they upgraded us to a bigger one at no extra cost. The kids loved it, and the whole process was easy. Definitely recommend Sky High for inflatables!
