JOB SITE INSpECTIONS

The purpose of a site inspection is to:
• Ensure the renter and the rental company the tent ordered will fit the renters’ needs
(and space) prior to arrival at the site.
• To ensure the site is safe for the tent erection crew and the tent renter, before a
tent can be erected the following conditions must be determined either by the rental
company or the renter.
Location
After the proper tent size and style (frame tent vs. pole tent) has been determined, choose
a desirable location for the tent.
• The minimum area required for a Classic Pole tent is 10’ (3 m) in length and width
more than the actual tent size (when using 7’ (2.1 m) side poles). This allows 5’ (1.5 m)
around all sides for stakes. Minimum area required for a Premiere Pole tent is 10’ (3 m)
in length and width more than actual tent size. (Example: A Classic 20’ x 30’ (6 m x 9 m)
Pole tent requires a minimum of 30’ x 40’ (9.1 m x 12.2 m) of space. A Premiere 20’ x 30’
(6 m x 9 m) pole tent requires a minimum of 30’ x 40’ (9.1 m x 12.2 m) of space.
• The minimum area required for a frame tent is approximately 1’ around the perimeter,
but we recommend whenever possible to stake out 5’ (1.5 m) when using a 7’ (2.1 m)
height of the leg, this results in maximum support. (Example: A Classic 20’ x 30’ (6 m x
9 m) Frame tent, on 7’ (2.1 m) legs, requires a minimum of 30’ x 40’ (9.1 m x 12.2 m).)

Underground
It is the installers and/or property owner’s responsibility to locate all possible underground
utilities that could be located underneath the specified areas.
• Utilities could include, but not limited to water, gas, electric, telephone, sewage, etc.
• If any utilities lay underground of the specified area, THEY MUST BE MARKED.
• If you have any doubts or questions about any underground utilities, contact the local
or state Utilities Protection Service. Most utility protection services require a minimum
of 48 hours to locate and mark all underground utilities.
Overhead
Visually check the specified area for any and all overhead obstructions that could possibly
be in the area of the erected tent top.
• This includes tree limbs, branches, basketball rims, power lines, etc.
• Tent height information can be obtained from Celina.
Surface
Surface is also an important issue in determining the proper type of anchor. Listed below
are the 3 main types of surface conditions and the standard methods of anchoring.
• Grass - Staked
• Asphalt - Staked
• Concrete - Staked / Concrete Anchors
(Asphalt plugs and concrete patch are available to repair holes)

Note: Celina Tent does not recommend water barrels for proper tent installation
