When you are shopping around for tents for hire in the Vaal Triangle, it’s best to know what your options are. Your options will usually be determined by your venue choice. For instance, peg and pole marquees do not do well when erected on soft soil or beach sand. Below are a few of the tent options available for hire in the Vaal Triangle:

• Peg and pole marquees – as mentioned before, these are better suited for rigging on hard surfaces. The pegs and poles can create a tripping hazard, so it is important to light up the danger areas outside the tent, so that people don’t get injured. These are the traditional types of tents to hire, and are available in various sizes.

• Frame marquees – these tents are created on a sturdy frame, so there is no need for pegs and poles to secure the unit. They can be rigged on grass, hard soil, cement, or tar. These tents are more versatile than peg and pole tents. They are available in various sizes and you can choose between options such as ones with windows, some with sides that can be rolled up, or some with fixed sides. The choice is yours.

• Bedouin tents – these are stretch tents that are designed to provide an attractive focal point. They are elegant and versatile. They can be rigged absolutely anywhere and everywhere. The rigging team can create all kinds of funky styles to give your event that creative and eye-catching edge.
