When a corporate event, a wedding, a special event, party or fundraiser is planned for outdoors, often times an event tent or party tent will be required. Protection from the parts and supplying for a central gathering area is essential. Over the years I’ve collected a few horror stories involving outdoor events. Some of the worst stories involved workers not realizing incisively where the power lines are located – both overhead and underground. Be sure to use an insured rental company who works with a qualified and trained staff to make sure your next event is a safe and pleasurable affair. POOR INSTALLATION: A South Carolina hotel’s expansive grounds provided the perfective backdrop for a young couple’s wedding mid-afternoon reception. The wedding planner had expended two long days with her crew embellishing the inside of a high-top marquee tent. It rained the night before the wedding. The tent company (from Florida) had staked the marquee tent in the grass; however, something had not gone well. The tent gathered a lot of rain in drooped pockets on the roof and by late morning, a lot of of the stakes pulled up. The reception was forced to move inside the hotel lobby, not an idealisti solution as there was scarcely sufficient room for the guests. POWER LINES: Two workers were killed and two others injured when a tent pole struck a power line at Thorn Hill Farms in McClellanville, SC. Dexter Keyes, 37, and John Fortney, 45 of Stage Presence Equipment Rentals were electrocuted when the metal tent pole they were erecting touched a low hanging power line over the site. (Projection, Lights & Staging News: PLSN.com) STRONG WINDS: Last summer in Washington D.C., severe weather caused trees to topple. A permanent tent erected in the National Mall collapsed from the powerful wind gusts where assorted humans had taken shelter. Luckily, all were rescued and no one was seriously injured. (WJLA.com news) MICROBURST: “DALLAS COWBOYS BUBBLE TENT COLLAPSES” This structure is not the traditionalisti event rental, but a bubble canopy. 70-80mph winds and a crazy microburst are the leading contenders for why the tent collapsed. Three people were severely injured, including the Cowboy’s scouting assistant who is permanent paralyzed. (Story here) STRONG WINDS: At a University of Buffalo graduation ceremony the winds became more inviolable and stronger. As persons at the event noticed the weather getter worse, they asked to move the ceremonies inside. Shortly thereafter the tent collapsed. (WGRZ.com) YET MORE STRONG WINDS: 5,000 festival goers were under the Oktoberfest Bier Garden tent and when it comes to 2,000 people were under another tent when they collapsed from strong winds. 21 humans were taken to the hospital. (TulsaWorld.com) Not all tents are staked in the ground. Some are built distinctively to handle strong wind loads. Saddle spans, (ask known as saddlespan tents) for instance, are rated for up to a 70mph wind gust and are not always anchored into the ground thru traditionalisti tent stakes. Some tents use particular eco-ballast (large recycled concrete blocks) as an anchoring system and galore tents use water ballast tanks. All these anchor schemes may work exceedingly well when installed correctly by trained crew. Some tents such as TopTents most recent addition to the marketplace are specially designed to even withstand snow loads. SAFETY FIRST! Ask questions:
