Pole vs. Frame - Which Tent Should I choose?

The two different types of commonly used tents for outdoor events and gatherings are pole tents and frame tents. Pole tents, just as they sound, are tents which are stabilized by securing poles into the ground. Because of this, they are ideal for areas with grass but not for areas with hard surfaces such as concrete. For a tent to be considered a pole tent, there must be at least one pole holding up the tent. For tents with just one single pole, the pole will be located in the center of the tent. This offers balance and stability as well as an opportunity for additional decoration to be hung. It also gives the tent a more traditional tent shape with a tall peak in the center. While some prefer this option, others do not. If the pole is a concern for you and your guests because it may be seen as an eyesore, frame tents are also an option. If a pole tent does sound like a good option for your next event, there are different options to choose from to best meet your needs. To browse these options, please click here.
