Tent Information You Should Know

Tent Grading

In order to insure the proper tent quality for your event, all tents are inspected, cleaned and graded on a regular basis. The tent grades are A, B+, B or C. All of our A and B+ grade tents come with upgraded white side poles as opposed to B grade and colored tents coming with natural wood side poles.

• A tents are top of the line or wedding quality which means the tent is bright, crisp, clean and free of spots or stains.
• B+ tents are of nice quality, still bright and clean but will possibly have some minor spots or scuffing or a small repair mark.
• B tents are the middle of the line, they look nice but the color will be faded and some unnoticeable scuffing, stains, and repairs may have occurred.
• C tents stand for commercial grade, these tents are structurally strong but will be faded, have large stains or spots on them. These tents are most commonly used for auctions or weather protection when appearance is not a consideration.

Quality Control

Bob Mutton Party Rental and Event Planning’s tent crews use drop cloths for set up and tear down. Inspection tags are placed on all tents after a tear down so our warehouse maintenance staff can clean or perform repairs as needed.

Tent Heating and Cooling

We have a variety of sizes of BTU heaters. The heaters are L.P. gas forced air heaters for climate control. Please call for more information and prices.

Ceiling, pedestal and floor fans are available and will improve air movement through the tent for cooling purposes. Air conditioning is an option, but can be very costly.

Tent Decorating

Decorating can give you many options to transform your tent into something imaginative. Through our experienced staff, we can theme or set the mood to enhance your event and make it breath-taking. With our knowledge and hands on experience we are willing to customize to create your dream come true.

Tent liners are available upon request, please call for pricing and style.

Tent Lighting

Lighting is one of the most effective components to accessorizing and setting the mood for your event. If looking for a soft ambient lighting for your event we offer a wide variety of light from parameter lights, chandelier lights up to twinkle lights/swaged with material throughout the tented environment. We can highlight items like staging, dance floors, cake table, food buffet, dinner tables all with pin spot lights or can lighting.
