❓ Frequently Asked Questions: Wedding Tent Rentals
Do I need a permit to put up a wedding tent?
In most municipalities, tents larger than 400 square feet (20x20 ft) require a local building or fire department permit. Your tent rental company typically handles permit filing and fire marshal inspections.
How much clearance space is needed around the tent?
Pole tents require an extra 5 to 10 feet of staking clearance on all four sides (a 40x60 ft pole tent requires a 50x70 ft flat ground area). Frame tents require only 2 to 3 feet of perimeter clearance.
