The most important part of planning for an outdoor event is selecting the canvas shelter. You just have to get the right one. Critical factors such as size, shape, and design all come into play. Not forgetting the nature of your event. We have come up with five basic types of shelters to help you get a better understanding.
The frame tent
This happens to be the most common outdoor shelter in events. Party planners prefer it due to its simplicity. It does not take long to install. As long as you find a good spot for the frame, what follows is placing the canvas on top and you are ready to go. There is always enough room inside to accommodate a good number of tables and chairs. There are no support poles to obstruct views.
Pole tents
Just as its name suggests, these portable canvas covers make use of several poles both inside and outside to hold the canvas fabric in place. They create mountain-like peaks which give it an elegant look. The high peaks also create enough ceiling room for mounting your lighting.
Transition tents
Unlike the first two, this type of cover serves as a walkway, or gathering space for guests before getting to the main tent. Hence the name “transition”. Apart from shielding guests as they come to the venue, it also plays a great role in enhancing the beautiful outlay of the structures.
Clearspan tents
This one also comes with a frame structure. The beams are made from aluminum which makes them robust and durable. There is adequate interior space to accommodate all your guests and still have room for a dance floor. It is up to you to decide whether you want hard or glass sides and white or clear tops. The versatility of this outdoor shelter is just infinite.
Sailcloth tents
The sailcloth tent is a combination of everything fun. Combine that with the crisp and elegant look and you have an incredible canvas shelter for your event. The translucent fabric enables you to play around with different lighting at night depending on what you want to portray or achieve. It has a remarkable picturesque appeal when you watch it from afar.
