Know the Different Types of Tents Before Renting One

A move from the widely expected canvas as a material of choice for tents, different materials are being used in the making of tents depending on use, weather and aesthetics. That being said, tents are classified according to their uses. There are tents for camping and there are tents used on occasions such as weddings.

1. Dome tents are one type of camping tents. They are named so due to their dome shape. They are differentiated by durability, shape and sometimes packaging. They differ in fabric depending on the weather conditions they are to be used in. The heavier the tent, the harsher the weather it can be used in. When getting a camping tent, you should ensure it has the specifications needed for the weather, number of people per tent and area where the tent will be pitched.

2. Frame tents are mainly used in events such as weddings. Just as the name suggests, this type of tent has poles and a metal frame holding it up. This tent will require more decorating since the metal poles that make up the frame are exposed. Therefore, the poles can be used to hang string lights or they can be draped using fabric.

3. Marquee tents are among the most sophisticated types of tents that are used in events. This tent has both a frame and peaks. Therefore, it looks more like a combination of the pole and frame tent. It can have fabric draped on its ceiling for a dramatic effect.

4. Clear span structures — This, as the name suggests, has a clear top. It’s used for events. This tent’s main purpose is to increase the aesthetic value of the event, seeing as one can enjoy viewing clear skies and even dine under the stars.
