Renting a good tent is vital when planning an outdoor wedding. While tents can offer a cozy and personal touch to an outdoor wedding décor, they also protect you and your guests from unfavorable weather conditions. Tents are more flexible in comparison to existing facilities since you have a lot of option in regard to where and how you want the wedding to be. Below are tips on how to choose the right wedding tents.

Before you choose the size of the wedding tents, you need to know how big your guest list is, the banquet and the dance floor. Getting a small canopy is not hard but for large canopy sales, specialized companies have bigger sizes. If the guests are going to be sitting on long tables, you will need a big tent. A band or dance floor will require some extra space. It is therefore ideal to have all these details in mind when looking for a tent.

Know the theme of your wedding; this can add creativity to your tent choices. There are professional services who offer tents which are customized according to themes. Summer weddings will need light tents with a clear roof top while a beach wedding party should have a strong tight tent in order to resist the pressures of wind and it should also be big enough to give people a great view.

Consider the style of the tent. Ask about the details of construction so you know in advance what you are getting. Most tent canopies are vinyl with aluminum support frames. The quality and style of the tent should be visually appealing especially for photography.

Arranging a variety of tent canopies on one property for different uses is the best way to entertain guests throughout the different stages of your wedding. For dinner and dancing, you should opt for roomy oval, a small round tent for cocktails and a medium oval for the outdoor ceremony. Other tent uses will include bridal preparation, lounge sitting and a play area for kids.

The side of the tent is a standard item and should not be removed. You do not know when the temperature will drop or a breeze will pick up. You can install the sides and then roll them up, leaving the tents open to the landscape until the sides will be needed.

With the above information, you are sure to get the right type of wedding tents for your special day. For a specialists opinion contact the professionals at canopymart.com. Selling everything from tents to canopies they’re sure to have what you’re looking for.

We decided the best way for you to make an informed decision, was to tell you about the difference.Cutting Corners To Save A Buck On your Swing SetThis is how large manufacturers bring you lower prices. They cut corners on quality, safety and durability.Swing Set Installation TimeMuch easier to assemble than the other guysWe hear it all the time, “It took us over 30 hours to put the other guys swing set together”. Compare that to our average time of 6-8 hours.So why the difference in time? Kid’s Creations pre-assembles most of the swing set components for you. You just have to bolt it all together. The other guys? Well they ship you a big box of nails and screws and you get to do it.So how precious is your time to you? You think you’re saving money when you buy a $900 dollar big box store swing set. Think again! After you put 30-40 hours into assembling it you’ll wish, just like many others, that you had paid a bit more and had less the installation time not to mention the added safety and quality!Swing Set Screws, Bolts & Swing ConnectorsBigger is stronger!Kid’s Creations uses larger bolts and screws. Our lumber is thicker and stronger than our competition so we have to!Swing ChainsTake a look at the chains we use. They are much bigger, so parents can join the fun and they are also dipped in plastic so small fingers and hands don’t get pinched.Canvas CanopyKid’s Creations swing sets need a bigger canopy to cover the square footage. Our canopies are made from 12 oz. vinyl. That is the same material that they make commercial grade tents from.Swing Set Tower Deck Planking & Support BeamsDarker wood, used by our competition, is stained to look like redwood. In most cases it is made of Pine or Chinese Fir to cut costs and give the manufacturers a better bottom line.Aside from the swings, your children are going to be running, jumping and playing on the deck and supports. If you don’t read anything else read this! Look at the difference between our supporting lumber. Kid’s Creations uses 2 x 6 deck planking vs. the 1 x 6 of our competition. We round our corners a full 1/2 inch to keep your children scrape and splinter free. What would you rather have your kids playing on 2, 3 or even 4 years after you purchase this set?It is absurd to have only a 1 x 6 as a deck support but that is what you get when you buy from the other guys! Kid’s Creations swing sets uses a 4 x 6 deck support beam. We build our sets to allow even parents to join in the fun!Swing Set Tower SupportsOnce again the dark wood is stained to resemble redwood by our competition.

Notice how our 4×4 beams are bigger than theirs!Play Set Rails, Ladders & RockwallsWhen you mass produce the first thing you start doing is looking at ways to cut corners and costs. This is how a swing set manufacturer makes more money! By selling you a watered down version of a better swing set. The competition’s rockwall is a prime example. Are they selling a rockwall or a glorified ladder? By leaving out 4 or 5 planks on their rockwall they are saving money on their bottom line and you are paying for an inferior swing set.Our ladders are constructed to support moms and dads who want to join the fun. Compare with the ladder our competition uses. Which play set would you want to climb?Playset SlidesThe Kid’s Creations slides have a large supporting spine of plastic that runs the length of the slide to support and prevent bending. It is solid and vs. our competition’s slides that are honey combed and full of air pockets. The competitions slides may support your young ones now but as they get older and bigger don’t expect them to be as sturdy.In summary Kid’s Creations will save you money in the long run if you buy one of their wooden swing sets. They take less time to set up, last longer and most of all they’re safer than the out of the box kits.
