Party Tent Business Opportunities - Team with the best!

Thinking about starting a tent rental business


We invite you to explore the niche field of the Party Tent Rental industry where the opportunities are endless. Tent rentals are a ‘moving’ business. You go to the customer; the customer does not come to you. You are not confined to one location, building, or area….. This opens the party tent dealer up to any market allowing them to travel great distances (if desired) and eliminates the need for high profile, expensive real estate required by most conventional businesses. Schedule the tent erections around your schedule and still meet the customers needs. A flexible schedule allows dealers to have a full-time or part-time job in addition to operating their tent business.


When operated properly a party tent can be in service multiple seasons with little or no maintenance, from there a dealer only has operating costs, vehicles, fuel, insurance, and wages. After a dealer’s operating costs are paid, the remainder is profit. Depending where you are located in the U.S. a tent can be paid for in 3-9 rentals. We are located in a rural, conservative area, and typically Celina Tent Rental would recoup the costs of a 20’ x 30’ pole tent in less than 7 rentals. We have seen tents that have lasted more than 20+ years and are still functional (After 20+ years extremely ugly, but functional).


The further south you are located in the U.S. the longer your rental season will be and the more income potential you have. In Celina, Ohio the tent rental season is about 7 months. Our dealers in the southern states usually can rent tents year round.


We speak from experience. Celina Tent began as a full service party tent rental company and fully understands the potential and profitability of a tent rental operation. Located in Celina, Ohio we started small with only 6 party tents and in a short time Celina Tent Rental expanded, regularly servicing Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Michigan. We understand the tent business from the simplest operations with only 2 tents to the mega party tent companies with over 500,000 square feet of tents.


We are the manufacturer and distributor of all the products required to run a full service party tent rental company. The tent tops and most tent accessories are made at our state of the art Celina, Ohio facility. We invite you to visit us and tour our facility.


Our tent rental and tent manufacturing divisions grew side by side until January 2005 when we decided to sell the rental division. In early 2004 we came to the realization that our business goals were conflicting. We operated a successful tent rental service with numerous 3-5 year contracts servicing everything from firework retailers to weddings to fairs. On the manufacturing end of our business we were advertising our quality products and trying to service our dealers in the same areas we were renting….. a customer on one side and a competitor on the other. So in January of 2005 we decided to place our dealers interest 1st!
