By now most party tent rental companies have packed up their inventory for off-season and have begun planning for next year. But, before you turn out the lights in your storage area, here are ten tips from Rental Magazine on what you should do with your commercial tents before closing the books on this year.
1. Inventory all products. Do you have everything you started the year with? What units/parts are broken, in repair or have gone missing.
2. Check inventory against use. See which units received the most use and abuse this year.
3. Grade inventory for event use. Take a look and see what condition your tents are in. See what will need to be fixed or replaced before next year.
4. Determine inventory needs for next season. Did you have enough party tents to meet your customers' demands? Did you have the right sizes of tents? Contact Tent & Table to talk to one our sales reps about maximizing your inventory.
5. Inspect and grade fabric condition.
6, Repair all fabric. Tent & Table has a wide variety of products that can help you repair vinyl tent tops. Check out our selection here.
7. Clean all aluminum poles.
8. Repaint poles. This will protect them from rust forming during storage.
9. Check all structural elements for cracks, bends or damage.
10. Repair any structural damage. Now is the best time to order replacement parts or make repairs. You aren't pressed to quickly get units back out for rental, so they can properly be repaired. Whether you have frame tents, pole tents or high peak tents, Tent & Table has a vast selection of replacement parts.
Tent & Table would like wish all of our customers a great holiday season and thanks for your business in 2016.
