Tent anchoring depends on the site: Diamond Event may use stakes, cement weights, or water ballasts.
Prepare the installation area: arrange utility markings, flag private underground lines, and disclose access or surface concerns. Water ballasts require a nearby high-pressure water source.
Check permits early: Diamond Event obtains the fire permit, but you’re responsible for checking whether your municipality requires other permits, which may take up to 30 days.
So you’ve booked a tent for your event, how exciting! There are a lot of details that go into creating the perfect tent setup, though. Here, we’ll walk you through all the prep work you can do to make sure the tent installation runs smoothly.
Depending on your tent location, we will be using one of the following three methods to safely secure your tent.
We will request Blue Stakes Locate—a free service (requires 3 business days’ notice) that alerts utility providers to mark public underground utility lines.
If staking is not an option, we will secure your tent using cement weights that range from 500 lbs to 4,320 lbs, depending on the size of your tent.
In some cases, we may secure your tent using water ballasts.
While Diamond Event will obtain the fire permit for your event, it is your responsibility to check with your local municipalities for any additional permits required. Some permits can take up to 30 days for approval.
Common permits may include:
We strongly recommend contacting your local permitting office well in advance to make sure everything is in order. You can read more about permitting in our Event Permits and Regulations blog post.
