The holidays have a way of sneaking up on you. One week you’re thinking about fall yard work, and the next you’re staring at a calendar wondering how Thanksgiving is already three weeks away. If you’re hosting a gathering, decorating a commercial property, or planning a community event this season, now is the right time to start thinking about what you’ll need — and what you can rent instead of scramble for at the last minute.
At Rental Stop, we’ve been helping DFW families, businesses, churches, and event planners get ready for the holiday season for over 40 years. With more than 2,000 rental items across our Grand Prairie and Arlington locations, we’ve got the equipment to make your season a lot smoother.
Here’s a broad look at what’s coming up and how we can help.
Hosting a Holiday Gathering? Start With the Basics
Whether you’re planning a Friendsgiving for 30, a company holiday party, or a neighborhood Christmas dinner, the most common problem is the same: not enough seating, not enough table space, and not enough room.
That’s where we come in.
Our Party & Event Rentals cover everything from Tables and Chairs to Linens, Tents, and Audio, Video & Lighting. If you’re moving the party outside or into a garage, a tent keeps guests comfortable and gives you the space you need without renting a venue.
Don’t Forget the Comfort Factor
Texas winters are unpredictable. A mild December afternoon can turn into a chilly evening fast. If your event has any outdoor component, plan for it. We carry a full range of Heating & Cooling Equipment, including the Patio Heater for smaller outdoor spaces and larger options like the Tent Heater for tented events. Your guests will thank you.
Decorating This Season? A Lift Makes It Easier
If you’re hanging lights on a two-story home, decorating a commercial building, or stringing garland across a church entrance, a ladder only gets you so far — and repositioning it every few feet gets old fast.
A lift changes the whole job.
We carry a range of Scissor Lifts & Aerial Lifts suited to different decorating situations. For residential work, the Vertical Mast Lift 12′ Battery and One Man Lift 24′ Battery are popular choices — compact enough to maneuver around a yard, with enough reach to handle rooflines and second-story eaves. For commercial properties, retail centers, or larger buildings, the Scissor Lift 19′ Battery or Scissor Lift 26′ Battery give you a stable platform to work from.
Need to reach a taller structure or work on uneven ground? The Tm34 Towable Lift Gas and Tm50 Towable Lift Gas are towable options that can be set up in a parking lot or on a property without needing a truck-mounted platform.
Not sure which lift fits your job? That’s exactly the kind of question our team loves to answer. Give us a call and describe what you’re decorating — we’ll point you in the right direction.
Planning a Fall or Holiday Event? Think Ahead
The holiday season is one of the busiest times of year for event rentals. Tents, tables, chairs, heaters, and generators all move fast once October hits. If you’re planning a fall festival, a school or church event, a corporate holiday party, or a community gathering, the best thing you can do is start your reservation early.
Our team offers Event Planning Services including site inspections and CAD drawings to help you figure out layout, tent sizing, and equipment needs before the day of. It’s a resource that takes a lot of the guesswork out of planning.
A few things worth thinking through now:
- Guest count and seating layout — How many people, and how will they be arranged?
- Indoor vs. outdoor — Do you need a tent? What’s your weather backup plan?
- Power needs — Will you need a generator for lighting, sound, or heating equipment?
- Comfort — Are you planning for a cool evening? Heaters make a big difference.
Start planning now. The holidays are closer than they feel, and the earlier you plan, the easier everything gets.
