POLE TENT

Rent Your Nashville Pole Tent Today

Pole tents are one of our most popular tent rental alternatives for a variety of reasons. Pole tents have a grace to them because they create a swooping effect. When you look up at pole tents, you won't see any metal frames; instead, there will be a white vinyl covering. 

Pole tents are most often used on grass and feature central poles with supporting stakes that are driven into the ground. These structures have the capacity to add side walls or drapes to enhance the overall attractive atmosphere.

Traditional. Versatile. Sturdy.

If you're hosting an event outdoors and on grass, then pole tents are likely the best option for you. They stake into the ground for support, however this makes them difficult to set up on harder surfaces like concrete or asphalt. Pole tents also have a centerpole that provides extra support and gives the tent a nice peak at the top--making it more visually appealing and perfect for photographs.

Some customers fear that the center poles will hamper any event activities or deem the area unsightly; however, the support poles are minimalistic and still permit virtually uninterrupted viewing within the tent space. Plus, they provide another chance to get decorative by adding floral arrangements, twinkle lights, or other decorations to further enliven your event's atmosphere.

Our team at CTC Nashville offers a wide variety of high-quality pole tents for rental, perfect for any upcoming events you might have. In addition to the tent rentals, we also offer other party rental items to help make your event a success. Give us a call today – we can’t wait to work with you!
