There are a number of tent types each with unique attributes. Analyzing
each tent’s characteristics, in conjunction with each customer’s specific
needs, enables us to help pick the most appropriate tenting solution that best
meets each customer’s unique needs.

Tent Materials
Tent tops should always be made out of flame retardant material. There are
two primary types of material – translucent and blackout. Translucent is a
lighter material that allows light to pass through. Blackout is usually a heavier
material that blocks light and thus more heat than translucent.
Most striped tents use translucent material. Pure white tents can use either
translucent or blackout material. In Texas, blackout material is typically preferred to assist in decreasing the heat load on guests.
Almost all of Rental World’s white tents use the upgraded blackout material.

Tent cleaning and Storage
Rental World has over 30 years experience
in event rentals.
Our lessons learned, along with industry training, and competitive benchmarking have lead to the development of industry leading tent-related processes.
These Rental World standards and processes help ensure that our customers receive high quality, clean tents each and every rental.
TENT CLEANING - Between each rental, each tent is washed and dried,
checked for damage, and repaired as needed. All but our very largest tents
are washed in one of our giant
industrial washing machines.
Most tent companies do not
wash their tents after every
rental. When they do wash
their tents, most companies
use
pressure
washers,
brooms, and sometimes floor
buffers. Although Rental
World used this same
method for over 20 years, this
manual method simply does not provide the same
quality washing as our industrial washers. Rental
World’s cleaning methods keep our tents whiter
and brighter than the competition.
Rental World utilizes cleaners engineered specifically for tents. These tent specific chemicals provide optimum cleaning performance, while maintaining tent luster and material integrity. Standard
chemicals such as bleach and degreasers, used by most rental companies,
deteriorate the tent material and lead to tents becoming dull and brittle.
27
Tent Storage
TENT STORAGE & INSTALLATION - To ensure that our clean
tents remain clean and undamaged, Rental World stores
each tent in labeled dust free
storage boxes. These boxes
keep our tents clean, dry, and
protected during storage, loading, and transport. Finally, during installation grounds tarps
are placed under the tents to
help ensure that your tents remain as clean as possible for
your event.
Festival Booths
Rental World has hundreds of colorful, eye-catching
booths and tents to satisfy almost any event's booth
and tent requirements.
Our 8x8 and 10x10 festival booths come in a variety of bright colors. Each
booth has a large front area for signage and a rearward sloping roof for a sharp
clean look. Each booth may be set up as an independent unit or clustered together into colorful pods.
Our versatile booths may be set up with open or countered fronts. Full mesh
or solid sidewalls can be added instead of or in addition to the standard colored
half sidewalls to meet your event's specific requirements.
Along with our standard line of festival booths, each of our frame and
frame/cable tents can be set up as a booth with or without counters. In addition, Rental World recently added a line of aluminum 42”x42” ticket booths
with lockable doors and available AC.

Pole Tents
Tension Tents
Pole tents are the industry's
proven tents for all types of events!
Tension tents provide
high sweeping peeks
for dramatic effects!
Pole tents are one of the oldest and most utilized tent designs in the industry.
Pole tents range in size from 10x to 120x and come in a full range of colors.
Pole tents typically provide the most affordable tenting solution. The most common sizes are 40x and 60x.
Pole tents always have
center poles. On 60x
and larger tents, they
also have quarter
poles.
Poles tents
must always use
stakes or anchors.
Pole tents may be setup in almost any
length.
Tension tents are similar to pole
tents in that they also have center
poles. Tension tents do not have
quarter poles, but sometimes
they do have twin center poles as pictured by our
100x below. Like pole tents, tensions tents must be staked or anchored with
bolts. Like pole tents, tension tents can be setup in almost any length.
Tension tents are noted for their sleek elegant lines, high sweeping slopes, and
are most often white. They are used extensively for weddings and other higherend events. Tension tents generally hold-up better in windy conditions, and
some tension tents are engineered.
Along with a standard line of white tension tents, Rental World designed a
custom line of promotional tents in various designs and colors as shown on
page 35.

Frame Tents
Kedar Frame Tents
Frame tents provide unobstructed
interiors for maximum design flexibility!
Kedar Frame tents
offer unobstructed
interiors in almost
any length!
Frame tents look quite similar to pole tents. They
each have constant sloped
roofs.
However, frame
tents have an aluminum
skeleton that supports the
tent canvas providing an
unobstructed interior. The
aluminum skeleton provides points to easily
hang small items such as
lights and drapes.
Essentially, Kedar Frame
tents are a hybrid between
a frame tent and a structure
Congress Ave.
tent.
- Austin
Like a frame tent, an aluminum skeleton is erected. Instead of standard tubular
rafters, the rafters are typically twin tube and contain channels to secure the
tent tops. The tent tops have ridges along each side that feed into the channels
similar to a structure tent.
Bike Fest 2001
Kedar frame tents are heavier than frame tents, and typically stronger. However, most are not engineered. Like a frame tent, kedar frame tents may be
secured with stakes, anchors, or ballasts. One big advantage of kedar frame
tents are that they can be set-up in any length.
Because of the aluminum
frame and assembly labor,
frame tents cost more than
pole and tension tents.
Frame tents can be staked,
anchored, and unlike pole
and tension tents ballasted.
Frame tents are generally
not engineered but can typically take wind loads on par with tension tents.
Frame tents typically range in size from 10x to 40x. Continuous lengths of
frame tents are typically limited to about 120 feet.
Available Sizes:
• 10x10 to 10x120, 10ft increments; 15x15
• 20x20 to 20x120, 10ft increments

Frame/Cable Tents
Structure Tents
Great looking
high-peak tents
with unobstructed
interiors!
Rental World carries
the largest line of
structure tents
in South Texas!
Frame/Cable tents (marquee
tents) are a hybrid between a
frame tent and tension tent.
Frame/cable tents have high
sweeping peaks like a tension
tent but without center poles.
Structure tents are considered
the ultimate in tenting. A true structure tent is engineered.
With proper installation, many structure tents can handle wind loads from 50
to even 90mph. Most are rated around 60 to 70mph.
Frame/cable tents have perimeter frames similar to frame tents.
In place of rafters, frame/cable
tents use cross cables between
the frame’s corners. The cables
support “flying” center poles.
Some frame/cable tents are engineered. Frame/cable tents
typically can handle winds a little
higher than frame tents.
Auto Show - McAllen
Frame/cable tents typically
range in size from 10x to 40x
but are most common in 10x
and 20x sizes.
Structure tents use large aluminum beams with base plates. The base plates
are typically staked straight down. Each frame section is constructed on the
ground, attached, to the base
plates, and then rotated into the air.
Once several frame sections are in
the air, the tops can be pulled
across the frame through kedar
slots similar to kedar/frame tents
mentioned previously.
Borderfest
Structure tents do not use exterior guy straps, just the anchors
through the base plates. Structures can be ballasted with
water boxes or concrete ballasts.
Turkey Fest - Cuero
Structure tents can be constructed in any length.
They are available in sizes ranging from 10x to even 200x! All of Rental
World’s structure tents come standard on 10’ legs.

Rental World carries a huge

tents. So, we worked with several suppliers to develop our own line of highpeak colored promotional tents that are sure to stand out!
We carry a variety of sidewalls, anchoring products, drapes, double glass doors, lighting, and
even custom printed tops and walls.

a viable option.

practical anchoring method for your event.

The key to almost every successful event is planning.
Let Rental World help take your event
to the next level with professional looking entrances
and gate systems.
Rental World understands that technology can be a very powerful tool when
used properly to greatly improve the planning process. Rental World designs
and lays out most events using our PartyCAD software.
With PartyCAD, we are able to digitally design and layout each event in amazing 3-dimensional detail. From simple backyard parties, to large weddings, to
multi-acre fairs and festivals, our PartyCAD software allows us to provide detailed, scaled drawings and renderings.
Our software even allows virtual 3-dimesional color walk-thrus that truly allow
event planners to gain a unique perspective.
For simple layouts, we can quickly layout tents, tables, chairs, and other
items based on estimated dimensions
or actual measurements. We can

Many of our events have found it
extremely useful to have a Rental
World event planner attend event
meetings. We can show and discuss the event design on a large
screen via computer
projector and make layout changes on the fly during the meeting.
At minimum, e-mailing diagrams for review, discussion, and approval proves to
be an extremely valuable tool.
