| Starting a Tent Rental | ![]() |

||||||||||||
| Many potential customers contact Celina Tent, Inc. to purchase tents with the hope of starting a rental company. Usually the inquiry sounds something like this: | ||||||||||||||
| “We end up renting tents two
or three times every year…We figure that if we owned a tent or two,
we could save that money AND we could rent them out and have another source
of income…. Or “I am looking for a way to make money on the side of my full time
job. A tent rental appears to be something I could do in the evenings
and on weekends that has the potential to become a full time business….” |
||||||||||||||
| So what’s involved
with starting your own rental service? (Usually that’s the second question…the first question is usually “How much money can I make?!”) Both questions are very subjective, but are fun to explore. |

| We charged $200.00* per event for a 20’ x 20’ pole tent. A new 20’ x 20’ tent can cost between $1,065.00 and $2,200.00 depending on the model, accessories, and hardware strength. Let’s say that you were to buy a Classic 14oz. 20’x20’ pole tent with ratchets, galvanized poles, 42” stakes, anti-sink wood plates, and economy sidewalls with bags (our most popular choice). This tent costs $1,559.04 (before any rental discounts are applied by Celina Tent, Inc.) which would mean that it would take 8 rentals before the tent and shipping costs are paid for. | ||||||||||||||
