Pole Tents

A tension style tent that is supported by a number of perimeter poles and center poles. It relies on the tension of the vinyl fabric roof for its structural integrity. Pole tents are staked into grass or asphalt and cannot be weighted. Pole tents are easier to set up than frame tents making them a more economical choice comparatively. Center poles can be draped and tent liners can be added to make for an elegant look.

​

  • Pole tents are available in the following widths: 20’ | 30’ | 40’ | 60’ and can span in length over 200'

​​

  • Installed anywhere where staking is possible and ground surface is level

​​

  • Aesthetically pleasing due to the high peaks

​​

  • When measuring, be sure to account for an additional 5' around the outside perimeter of your tent for stakes and tension.

​​

  • Ask about additional sizing options.

Frame Tents

​Frame tents are free standing without center poles to maximize square footage. They can go on grass, asphalt, concrete, staging, even, decks and swimming pools. The labor involved is greater than the installation of a pole tent. Frame legs can be draped and tent liners can be added to make for an elegant look.

​​

  • Frame tents are available in the following widths: 10’ | 15’ | 20’ | 30’ | 40’ and can span in length over 150'

​​

  • Can be installed on multiple surfaces directly beside a building or home

​​

  • More flexibility with your layout and floor plan

​​

  • Can be weighted with cement ballasts to safely secure the tent if staking is not an option. Due to costs, tent weighting is a good option only if you absolutely can not stake the tent.

​​

  • Ask about additional sizing options.

Clear Top Tents

Not to be mistaken for "Clear Span Tents", "Clear Top Tents" have a free-standing framework of aluminum poles similar to "Frame Tents" that support a clear vinyl keter style roof without the need for interior poles. This self-supporting structure requires an anchoring system of stakes or concrete weights to hold the tent in place.

​

  • Our Clear Top Tents are 30' wide and can span over one hundred feet in length.

​​

  • Can be installed on multiple surfaces directly beside a building or home

​​

  • Can be weighted with cement ballasts to safely secure the tent if staking is not an option. Due to costs, tent weighting is a good option only if you absolutely can not stake the tent.

TENT SIZE AND LAYOUT:
 In general, our recommended tent size and table quantity calculator will accommodate your guest count for dining and cocktail style events only and do not accomodate necessary space for the additional spacing you may require for a successful event. Typically this initial recommendation is based on the assumption that you are placing standard five-foot-round tables or eight-foot banquet tables of 8-10 guests in an efficient pattern. Please speak to one of our event specialists if you need room for a dance floor and/or stage, lounge area or if you are choosing extra-large round tables or farm tables, or are mixing banquet and round tables. You want to avoid miscommunication and a cramped layout.
YOU MAY NEED TO CONTACT INDIANA 811:
According to Indiana State Guidelines Indiana 811 must be notified of all pole tents and frame tents that are being staked into the ground so they can mark for any pipelines that could be damaged during tent installations. Indiana 811 must be contacted 5-7 business days prior to the event date and is the responsibility of the client. If Ace Party Rental has not recieved an 811 Notification Number within 3 business days prior to the event date Ace must contact Indiana 811 and charge the client an additional $100 service fee.
DON’T FORGET YOUR CATERER: 
You’ve thought about your guests’ comfort, but remember that your caterer has needs too! For smaller events a caterer may be able to work out of the house or a garage but for most events they will require a catering tent. Experienced caterers have worked many outdoor events before and know exactly what size cook tent they need, so just ask. Often, specialty caterers like barbeque companies do not require tents, but you should still check.
