important things you should know
The Classic Plus is a cornerstone tent here at ETI. Featuring our signature Classic Plus ™ Frame System, this unit is ideal for large outdoor gatherings. You can also expand the tent to the desired sizes with the addition of cover mids. Whether you need a 30-foot wide tent or 40-foot wide tent, these Kentucky Tent Model approved units will meet your needs within time and budget.
Here are some of the benefits of purchasing a Classic Plus tent at cost-affordable rates:
- These tents are engineered, and wind load tested up to 75 mph.
- The 30’ wide tents feature double-tube corner rafters, mid-rafter, and sidebars.
- The 40’ wide tents include double-tube corner rafters, double-tube mid rafters, two sidebars, and extra corner supports.
- Galvanized steel fittings, failsafe steel snap button assembly, and adjustable height features for your convenience.
- Traditional, High-Peak, and Classic Styles for any outdoor occasion that requires a large tent.
- We supply the stake and rope anchoring for these tents. Additional accessories are available at cost-effective prices.
- Cross-brace systems are also available for any size Classic Plus ™ frame.
- Keep some fleece blankets on hand if the weather dips. This will keep your guests warm and cozy – especially during outdoor weddings or reception ceremonies.
- Wear appropriate attire if planning your outdoor party on a day or weekend that is cold. This includes sweaters, along with winter jackets, scarves, and other essentials. Notify your guests about the cold weather so they can plan accordingly.
- ETI features 30 x 100 tent and 40 x 100 tent for optimal room and spacious comfort. Our tents never hinder or obstruct views, but it’s essential to keep some portable heaters and use them with care and caution if the weather suddenly drops.
- Electric heaters are generally safe for indoor use. However, you should have secure connectors and keep some distance around the perimeter of the tent to avoid problems. Check with the park rangers or outdoor area leasing/renting team for safety guidelines and rules for indoor/outdoor portable heater usage.
- Keep plenty of warm/hot beverages, including coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or wine, and spirits (for adults, of course) on hand. These beverages will keep your guests warm and cozy for both indoor or outdoor functions.
- ETI tents are well-insulated and designed to keep guests safe during gusty winds and torrential downpours. For colder temperatures, outdoor heaters may be brought inside the tent but proceed with caution. Ensure they are kept at safe distance from anything flammable like tablecloths, chair covers, buffet table covers, etc. Once the interior is nicely heated, you can place the unit outside until it is needed again.
Finding the right tent manufacturer does not have to be an ardous task. At ETI, we go above and beyond to ensure all our customer’s needs are met across the board. With high-quality, versatile, and user-friendly party tents, our units offer greater strength and durability than other brands on the market.
We are always available to answer all your tent-related questions or concerns. Our dedicated team can help you select the right tent with easy ordering options. We can even help you plan your outdoor event with viable tips on space allocation, chair/table placement, and especially tent assembly and disassembly.

Rental vs. Purchase
Deciding whether to purchase or rent your event tent can depend on several factors, including frequency of use, budget, and storage capabilities.
Benefits of Renting
- Affordability: Renting might be more economical if you host a one-off event or occasional gatherings.
- Storage: Event tents can take up significant space. If you lack adequate storage options, renting eliminates this concern.
- Variety: Rental services often have various types and styles of tents. You can choose a different tent for each occasion, ensuring your events look fresh and exciting.
Benefits of Purchasing
- Long-term Investment: If you frequently host events, purchasing a tent can save you money in the long run.
- Customization: Owning your tent lets you personalize it according to your style preferences.
- Immediate Availability: When you own a tent, you don’t have to worry about availability conflicts during peak seasons.

Key Features of ETI Tents
Built for commercial use with premium materials and engineering.
Flooring Choices
Depending on the nature of your event, adding flooring can elevate both the aesthetic and functionality of the tent. Options range from simple grass mats to more sophisticated, elegant flooring solutions like wood or vinyl. This adds comfort and reduces the chances of muddy shoes ruining the event.
Lighting Options
Proper lighting can create an inviting ambiance when hosting an evening event. You can incorporate string lights, chandeliers, or LED uplights within your tent to enhance the mood and keep your guests comfortable.
Tent Sidewalls and Entryways
Sidewalls can protect your guests from the elements if it’s a breezy evening or there’s a chance of rain. They also allow for added privacy and help create a more enclosed atmosphere. Think about entryways as well—these can be designed for easy access and even serve as a decorative point.
