Let’s Get to Know Classic Pole Tents
When you hear the phrase “classic party tent,” what comes to mind? For most of us, it’s a traditional pole tent, with its raised tent top held up by center poles, its perimeter dotted with guy ropes knotted onto tent stakes. If you’re looking for a true party tent aesthetic, a pole tent is definitely the way to go.
It’s no wonder pole tents are etched into our minds as “traditional” party tents. Of the four primary tent types, pole tents have been the most popular all throughout the history of party tents. In the event and party rental industry, pole tents are considered the standard. The “go to” party tent that professionals know they can rely on in any situation.
Their popularity is easy to explain. Pole tents are inexpensive, their setup isn’t too complicated, and they look great at any type of event you could need a party tent for. The fact pole tents are highly prolific in the event and party rental business means more and more people are introduced to them day after day, too.
The Most Popular of All the Party Tent Styles
Of the four primary styles of party tents—pole tents, frame tents, high peak tents, and pop up tents—pole tents are easily the most popular. You’ll find them parked on the grass at county and state fairs, weddings, music festivals, and practically any other event.
Pole tents cost less than most other tent styles, but the tradeoff is that they’re slightly more difficult to set up. Their space is obstructed too, by center poles inside the tent and guy ropes and stakes outside the tent. Also, they aren’t ideal for long-term setups the way frame tents are.
Don’t let any of that fool you, though. Pole tents are sturdy, reliable, and versatile. Equipped with tent sidewalls, they’ll put up with a surprising amount of less-than-optimal weather. And they come in a huge assortment of sizes and colors too, so you can find exactly the sort of party tent you need for any occasion.
