Additional Information
Tents themselves will stop the rain from coming down on your guests, however, once the water runs off the side of the tent, if your tent is setup in an area where water would puddle or flow through, the tent will not stop puddling or water from flowing through, and your guests may be standing in water. The only way to stop the water from hitting your guests’ feet is to add a floor.
Tents are no different than your home or car in that they face condensation. Condensation occurs when warm air collides with cold surfaces, or when there’s too much humidity in your home. When this moisture-packed warm air comes into contact with a chilly surface, it cools down quickly and releases the water, which turns into liquid droplets on the cold surface. This will result in what feels like rain inside your tent when it’s simply condensation. The only way to avoid this is to have constant air flow from a forced air heater.
For any tent that must be staked into the ground, all underground sprinklers, septic or other underground utilities must be flagged before installation; we are not responsible for hitting any lines underground.
Permitting fees may be applicable.
