Some tents offer beauty, ambiance and functionality. Many do not. Don’t be left in the heat.
Often potential clients make a comment that the tent is “Only if it rains”. In the beginning of this heatwave which Environment Canada suggests may well last into September the choice of tent supplier could not be more important. Many companies in the business are still using older style traditional tents with less sophisicated fabrics. The answer is simple, Poorly engineered tents can be purchased at half the price of a quality tent.
Tents supplied by ASAP Tent and Party Rentals all have heat blocking technology and good looks. Euereka Tents pioneered the “high peak” swoopy look that everyone wants or has tied to copy. Advanced tent design by Todd Dalland/ Happold Design is the recognized world leader in fabric design and technology and available at ASAP Tent and Party Rentals in Toronto and the GTA.
Poolside Party Tent Rental
Do one thing really really well…
Order your tent from ASAP Rental now.
We are often asked at ASAP Tent and Party Rentals “When do I need to order my…..(stuff)”?
You should order your tent as early as possible to avoid disappointment. While we can have many tents on the shelf we quite often run out of specific sizes of tents or types of chairs.
If you order early you have the peace of mind that will lead to a better planned event. Another advantage of ordering early is that when we do not have availability we can make the necessary arrangements to get the missing items
Bell Canada
ASAP Tent and Party Rentals telephones are broken yet again. This is the third time in a month. The guy inservice was apologetic and said they may restore service in a day or two June 22, 2011 by the end of tomorrow or something. He will send an e-mail on our behalf to Canada from his office (in some unnamed foreign country) to let them know.
Try us by snail mail. Oh I forgot, Canada Post doesn’t work either.
Our calls to get a refund for the last outage are being ignored. Am I surprised…not. Being without phones for 8 days in one month is disgraceful. It would not be quite so bad if they made a little effort to repair them but the service department is in some south Asian country and the do not have any ability to get things done.
You can phone us though so don’t panic. We paid our bell bill but they still don’t service us. Try us on our telus phone it seems to be working today. The temporary number is 905 833-3653 or 416 909-6873
BTW they said it was a computer glitch affecting many phones across Canada. What’s up?
Here is what happens when a tent installation goes wrong.
A major disaster was averted when The Kern County Fire Department and the management of the Mojave Air and Space Port ordered the evacuation of the 25 X 50 metre structure. It almost certainly saved lives at the flashy rollout of the Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo just minutes before the temporary structure was destroyed by the wind.
Wind gusts were recorded at the airport in excess of 62 knots (71 mph) . The 25 x 50 metre clear span tent that was erected as a press conference room and hospitality lounge for the media and 800 guests collapsed.
This tent was installed using 4000lb weights every 16?.
Party Tent Collapse Virgin Galactic Rollout
MOJAVE, CA – DECEMBER 7: California Gov. Arno…
Virgin Galactic’s founder Richard Branson threw the event for the Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo rollout. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger of California and Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico were at the event but left before the evacuation. In Richardson’s case, just minutes before the evacuation was ordered.Also in attendance were Lindy Brockway, Victoria Principal, Eve Branson along with about 1000 guests and staff. Among those invited were guests that had paid $200,000.00 for tickets on the first flight of SpaceShipTwo.
The party was in high gear when the evacuation was ordered att 7:36 PM. The tent collapsed at 8:12 PM, according Kern County Deputy Fire Chief Mike Cody.
Fortunately the tent was evacuated and guests bussed out before the wind lifted the structure and destroyed two domed hospitality tents.
“Please go to buses”
“At 7:36 p.m. we asked Virgin Galactic’s event management firm to evacuate the structure and two inflatable tents. That was accomplished in an orderly manner,” Witt (The Airport Manager) said in a press release.
“Hundreds of attendees were loaded on buses and the structures were empty when the building collapsed,” Witt said. “As a result, no one was injured.”
