Come Rain, Come Shine: My Love Affair With an Industrial Tent
I didn't even know what industrial tents were until somebody talked me into getting one.
I thought they were something for a hundred people to sleep in on a massive camping trip.
When my husband took me to go look at them I was initially skeptical about what we would do with one.
He bought it anyway, and it has proven to be a great addition to our outdoor gear.
When looking for industrial tents, it is important to figure out what you would like to use them for.
If you are planning to use the canopy for outdoor events that are away from your home, such as seafood boils, picnics and family reunions in the park, you may want to consider purchasing one made of lightweight materials.
Some of the lightweight materials available include aluminum or fiberglass.
While these versions may be on the more expensive side, you won't regret spending the extra money when you feel how easy they are to carry and how collapsible and small they become for transport.
If you will be using the industrial tent at home and don't plan to travel with it, you can spend less money.
Try to find a model that is made with a metal support system.
These cost less, even though they are just as durable as the lightweight versions.
They are great for using as a carport or permanent shaded spot in your backyard.
We have truly enjoyed using our tent for all sorts of occasions.
The best use of the tent was when we hosted our niece's rehearsal dinner underneath it.
Most tents, including ours, are fully flame retardant, which means that we were able to load up the tables with candles of all sizes to create a truly romantic atmosphere for the dinner.
Because of the tall ceilings, we were able to feel a cross breeze as it blew through the area, but no one even noticed when it began to rain.
The sound did not make it through the canvas.
The following day, we were able to move the tent back to our driveway where it became our carport once again.
Whether you are planning an event or simply need a long-term solution for shade in your treeless backyard, these structures are a wonderful solution to many quandaries that may come up.
They are available to rent or to purchase, and you can assemble them yourself with the accompanying instructions.
No matter your price range, you will find one that meets your needs.
As a former skeptic, I can now truly say that I highly recommend them!
