Top Tips for Renting the Perfect Event Tent with Rental Stop!
Posted by rentalstop in Events on March 11, 2025
Planning an event? Whether it’s a wedding, corporate gathering, festival, or backyard party, a tent can provide comfort, protection, and style for your guests. But choosing the right one involves more than just picking a size. At Rental Stop, we offer a variety of tent styles, plus all the extras you need to make your event a success. Here’s what to consider when renting a tent:
- Choose the Right Tent Size
The size of your tent depends on the number of guests and the layout of your event. Will you have tables and chairs? A dance floor? A stage? Make sure to allow enough space for people to move around comfortably. Rental Stop offers tents in multiple sizes, so you’ll find the perfect fit for any occasion. - Pick the Best Tent Style
Different events require different tent styles. Here’s a quick breakdown of what we offer:
• Frame Tents – No center poles, making them ideal for tighter spaces or areas where staking isn’t possible.
• Pole Tents – A classic, elegant look with high peaks, best suited for grassy areas.
• Pop-Up Tents – Easy to set up and great for small gatherings or vendor booths.
Not sure which one fits your event? Our team at Rental Stop can help you decide! - Consider the Setup Location
Where will your tent be set up? Grass, pavement, or concrete? Some tents require staking, while others need weighted anchors. If you’re setting up on a hard surface, we offer water barrels and concrete blocks to secure your tent safely. - Plan for Weather
Outdoor events come with weather unpredictability, so be prepared! Rental Stop offers tent sidewalls for wind and rain protection, as well as tent heaters and fans to keep your guests comfortable in any season. - Don’t Forget the Extras
A tent alone isn’t enough — you’ll need accessories to complete the setup. Luckily, we have everything you need, including:
• Tables & Chairs – From banquet tables to elegant seating options.
• Lighting – String lights, chandeliers, and LED fixtures to create the perfect ambiance.
• Flooring & Staging – Keep things level and dry with our flooring options or elevate speakers and entertainment with a sturdy stage. - Check for Permits & Regulations
For larger tents, many cities require permits. Before your event, check local regulations to avoid last-minute issues. Need help? Rental Stop can guide you through the process! - Plan Your Budget Wisely
Tent rental prices vary based on size, style, and accessories. Consider all costs, including delivery, setup, and take-down fees. At Rental Stop, we provide transparent pricing and rental packages to fit your budget.
Renting a tent doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With Rental Stop, you get high-quality tents, expert advice, and all the extras to make your event seamless. Contact us today, and let’s make your event unforgettable!
“Miracle on Stadium Street”
Posted by rentalstop in General on November 30, 2010
Miracle on Stadium Street
It all started about 2 months prior to the 2010 NBA All-Star Game when Rental Stop was approached by the National Basketball Association (NBA) regarding tent rentals for the big game at the new Dallas Cowboy Stadium. The tents were needed to cover the security gates at all the entrances to the stadium. We were honored that the NBA had chosen to use our Services and Tents for the largest crowd in All-Star Game history.
The install earlier in the week went well. It looked like another perfect and smooth Rental Stop Event was going to happen on Sunday. However, we had one unforeseen complication; Mother Nature had different plans for all. The forecast was calling for snow or some type of freezing precipitation late in the week but the real question is how much and where in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
While we were anticipating the weather we were also getting ready for the 
arrival of some close business friends from the North East Coast. They operate an event and party rental store and were coming back from the American Rental Association (ARA) Convention that was held in Orlando, Florida. The reasoning for them to show up in DFW was that a Blizzard was hitting the east coast and their flight was cancelled so they decided to visit us for a few days. They thought they were getting away from the white stuff by coming to DFW. They were in for a rude awakening. That very next morning after their arrival we all awoke to a white blanket of snow. By 8 am the Dallas Fort Worth area had a total of 4” snow and it was still coming down quite heavily.
Normally, light snowfalls do not affect tents; unfortunately the tents that were erected per the NBA requirements did not have sidewalls on them. With no sidewalls installed on the tents prohibited us to use tent heaters that would help eliminate accumulation of heavy wet snow on top of the canopy top. Accumulation of snow on top of the tents could possibly cause the tents to collapse thus creating issues that are not needed right before this huge event. Plus we wanted to show the entire Dallas Cowboy Organization including Jerry Jones we were able to handle an unusual situation.
With that said, we were blessed however to have good fellow tent friends in town that knew how to work in the snow a
nd to deal with the tents. After 24 long hours, a total of 12” of snow and a lot of hard work, the snow stopped, the skies cleared, the tents were still standing, and the crowds started to come for the big event.
We thank God for this “Miracle on Stadium Street” he showed us this past February. He tested us and gave us just enough to handle and we thank Him each and every day. We thank all who were involved on and off the site as well as those who prayed for the safety and the positive outcome that was achieved. This Event was truly a Team effort for all involved. Thank you LORD.
