Buying Suitable Event Tents

There are few things that enhance the look and professionalism of a corporate gathering or party like a high quality event tent. Whether used for shielding guests from sun, rain or cold, it's important to have a tent that is sturdy, attractive and large enough to accommodate guests. There are a few tent-types to choose from: pole tents which feature the traditional look with high-peaks, framed tents which can be large and more room-like, pop-up structures that provide quick set-up, to the newest innovation in event tents, the "igloo" type inflatable structure, available from X-Gloo. To choose the right tent, it's important to consider the use, the location and the support needed to set-up and break-down the tent. Planned use of a special events tent is important to think about when looking to purchase and/or rent an enclosure. If the need is for a one-time event, renting is generally the best option. In this case relying on the recommendation from a supplier based on the specifics of the need and their experience is the smartest option. In this case, traditional pole or framed tent enclosures make sense. For ongoing use, purchasing makes the most sense. Again, the type of use is important to consider. Many corporations, clubs and universities need event tents to act as a meeting hub during events. In this case, one of the considerations is logistics. If the tent needs to accommodate a wide range of situations and terrain, a lighter more portable structure is preferable. This makes transport or shipping to the event simpler, as well as moving the structure to the final set-up location (say in the middle of a field or parking lot). Set-up is another important consideration. Pole-type and framed tents require specifically trained personnel to safely put up the enclosure and ensure it is properly anchored. Light enclosures like portable pop-ups and X-Gloo inflatable tents require only one or two people to set-up and are intuitively designed so no special knowledge is needed. The X-Gloo in particular is exceedingly simple to assemble. This inflatable event tent can be put up single-handedly in just minutes using either a manual or electric air pump. There are no lines or cords needed, and the structure can be staked or weighted down to provide stability in any weather. The last consideration is signage. Most event tents also double as promotional signage to raise awareness of a brand or company name. This is another area where the X-Gloo excels. The main structure of the X-Gloo comes in a variety of colours to match or complement any logo or branding scheme. Further, the side panels of the tent can be custom printed to include any corporate, club, university or organization signage. These panels are separate from the main structure, so different panels can be printed for different event types making the X-Gloo extremely versatile. The most versatile event tent on the market today is X-Gloo inflatable (see X-Gloo pictures for proof). The portability, ease and speed of set-up, and design possibilities make it unmatched by any other type of tent or enclosure.
