Rent or buy a tent?

After we learn about these 10 rental companies, you will find that the large tent rental prices are surprisingly expensive. Sometimes the same size canopy tent will be cheaper to buy than to rent. This way you can use it many times without spending the extra money to rent.

My advice is if you want to have a huge event. If the number of people exceeds 150 or the size of the tent exceeds 20x40, then choosing a specialized rental company can save you energy. These companies provide other party supplies besides tent installation and dismantling services. This also saves you the trouble of having to find a second rental company.

However, apart from the high rental price. You also need to be responsible for all the items because once they are damaged in any way, they need to be compensated.

Of course, there are several benefits to buying a tent. First, the overall cost will be lower than rent. You can use it multiple times, or even lend it to family and friends, and it can be used as an outdoor carport even when there is no event. Secondly, you don't have to worry about the damage that will result in compensation. Finally, the sense of accomplishment of preparing and decorating an event by yourself will be unparalleled.

So, rent or buy a tent? This answer will depend on the actual situation and budget of the event. No matter what the choice is, I hope your event will go well.
