Please note any access challenges like steep driveways, narrow gates, or specific HOA communication needs when booking. Flat, clear surfaces are always best for efficient setup.

Tent Rentals in Columbus — FAQ
Do I need a permit for a tent in a Columbus park?
Yes, for larger tents or certain public spaces, you will likely need a permit from the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department. We recommend checking their guidelines based on your specific location and tent size.
Can tents be set up on asphalt or concrete?
Many of our tents can be secured on asphalt or concrete using water barrels or weights, but please specify the surface type when booking so the vendor can bring appropriate anchoring equipment.
What if there's inclement weather on my event day?
Our local vendors closely monitor Columbus weather. In cases of severe storms or high winds, they will work with you on safety protocols and potential rescheduling options.
What size tent do I need?
Plan ~10 sq ft per guest for seated dining, ~6 sq ft for cocktail style. A 20×40 tent fits about 80 seated guests; a 40×60 fits around 240.

Most cities require permits for tents over 400 sq ft or on public property. Our vetted operators handle permit guidance for your specific venue.
