Do You Need a Frame or Pole Tent?
We are asked many times about the differences of pole and frame tents, where these tents can be situated, and about the aesthetic differences, so here is a quick overview to explain the differences of a frame tent and a pole tent.
A pole tent is secured and supported by driving stakes into the ground; and so, it is not suitable to put a pole tent on concrete or asphalt surfaces. (Unless we are allowed to stake into the hard surface).
Pole tents mostly go on grass areas.
There will be at least 1 center pole inside a pole tent. Some clients like to use the poles as a feature, decorating them with vines, plants, fabric, or flowers. For others, the poles are an inconvenience, obstructing table layouts and views.
Most people think that a pole tent is more pleasing to look at from the outside, as it creates peaks and dips in the overall shape of the tent, and on the insides there are no metal pipes visible.
A frame tent is free standing and can go on grass, asphalt, concrete or a deck. It does not have any poles inside the tent, and so, the square footage isn’t compromised at all by having to plan around the inside poles.
The frame tent is generally more expensive to rent because of the labor involved in setting up the tent, and the actual cost of purchase.
The actual frame of this tent is aluminum pipes, which are visible on the inside of the tent, they can easily be covered if you prefer, by simply putting on white pipe liners, or by lining the whole tent with an elegant fabric liner.
When it comes to cost the pole tent is a little more economical.
We use our knowledge and expertise to recommend the right tent for you and your event, depending on your requirements, ground surface, and available space.

When deciding the size of tent that you need, there are various things to consider, to get the right size for your event.
The first questions you will need to ask yourself are:
1. Where is the tent going be set up?
2. Are there any size restrictions for that area? Overhanging branches, decks, pools etc.
3. Is the tent going on concrete/asphalt, or on grass?
To help us with your quote, and get the right size tent for you, it will help if you can measure the area and take some photos. (Or why not make it easy on yourself, and we’ll come and do this for you, free of charge, and without any obligation on your part). 😊
There is a form on our website for you to answer all of these questions, again if you’d rather we come out to discuss everything with you instead, just let us know, we’ll schedule a good time to meet.
https://merryraytents.com/contact-us
1. How many guests are you expecting?
2. Will they all be seated at once or will it be more a cocktail style reception with mixed standing and seating? Would you like round, or rectangular tables. Banquet style seating, and/or cocktail tables?
3. Are you having a dance floor, or space for dancing?
4. A band? How many are in the band, and do they need a stage?
5. A DJ?
6. Bar/beverage service area?
7. Buffet tables, cake table, or food stations?
8. A table for a guest book, gifts, or guest favors?
9. Is there anything else that needs to be covered?
There's lots to think about when planning an event under a tent. We’ve been doing this for over 30 years and we can help to make this as easy as possible for you. Give us a call 352-400-9626

Planning A Tent For your Wedding.
Don’t wait until the last minute to book your tent .
If you are planning a tent for your wedding, the best time to choose your tent is sooner rather than later. Chances are if you’re planning a wedding outdoors and think rain is potentially an issue, or shade is needed, so too are other couples. Adequate planning will ensure you get the style and size that you need.
We recommend calling us as soon as your date is set, we'll come out, go over everything with you, take a look where the tent is going, and help you decide on lighting options and your decor.

No job is too big or too small, and we'll be happy to come and meet you at your event location to go over the details, and make recommendations.
Between us we have over 50 years of experience in the tent rental business, with 48 of those owning our own company.
