Absolutely. Our Trio tents are cornerstone products at ETI and continue to soar in popularity. These durable, sturdy units feature the Trio Frame System, one of the most versatile tent frames and covers in the industry today. These tents are available in three stylish designs – Tension, High-Peak, and Traditional. They are also Kentucky Model Approved and available in a range of sizes: 10’, 15’, and 20’.

Whether for formal functions or neighborhood socials, these tents will achieve your desired results. They are spacious, inviting, and can serve as focal points for your New Year’s Eve jam. At ETI, we want your year-end party to be memorable and filled with fun and laughs. Here are some ways to plan this outdoor event.

Outdoor When it comes to New Year’s parties, everyone is waiting for the ball to drop in Times Square, New York City. The anticipation is in the air as great music, food, and dancing is essential for keeping your guests happy and comfortable. For outdoor parties, however, you will need a cost-affordable tent for optimal convenience and safety. Our high-peak tents are majestic in design and tower above your entire event. You can also go for tension tents, traditional tents, or our signature line of Trio tents that offer the following benefits:

  • Engineered and wind load tested up to 75 mph.
  • The Trio Frame System features adjustable leg heights as needed: 6’6”, 7’, 7’6”, and 8.’
  • Fail-safe steel snap button assembly and legs that telescope down to 5’ for optimal installation.
  • ETI offers a range of tent covers in several colors and stripes. We also have stakes, ropes, hatchets, and other accessories sold separately.
  • Add a center mast height for Hi-Peak style. You can decorate these tents with New Year’s Eve balloons, banners, party patterns, video screens, and much more.
  • Check the weather in your area before planning an outdoor party. ETI tents can stand up to inclement weather and gusty winds, but it’s always better to pre-plan your event to prevent frustration and surprises.

Now that you have selected one of our fine tents, it’s time to plan the menu. If going for a formal outdoor gathering, you must consider the different types of cuisine your guests love. Make sure to have low-sodium and vegetarian selections for your health-conscious attendees. If the kids are at the function, they need a separate menu as well. Being that it will be New Year’s Eve, you probably will have to stock up on fine wines, champagnes, beer, and spirits. Keep a soft drink selection for the kids, and it’s a good idea to get RSVPs from your invitees to see the types of foods, appetizers, and beverages they prefer. While not all party hosts do this, it is a great way to save time, money and enjoy the holiday without stress and problems.

New Year’s Eve usually sees blistery cold temperatures across the nation. Some areas will surely see snow, while others will have to deal with frigid weather and icing. While Miami usually does not have to worry about snow, slush, and icing, it can get cold in the Magic City. You might want to have fleeces, blankets, and comforters on hand for guests that get cold with this in mind. It is also a good idea to have coffee, hot chocolate, tea, and other beverages to keep them warm.

Having a portable heater is essential if the temperatures suddenly dip. Place these units outside the tent if possible so that the air blows in. If using them inside the tent, make sure the wiring is coated and safe as it connects to an exterior extension. Also, keep these units away from anything flammable and have a secure perimeter or distance around them – and the outside of your New Year’s tent.

Clear Slideshow2 Our tents are large enough to have tables, chairs, buffet stations, bars, entertainment kiosks, video memory screen, and even bars with your favorite drinks and beverages. We can help you allocate the right space to fit tables, chairs, and other accessories without sacrificing leg and storage room. We recommend having a banner or marquee for your event at the front of the entrance. This will engage your attendees and let them know that the fun is straight ahead.

There is even room under our tents for a dancefloor. After deciding on a live band or deejay, they should have no problems setting up speakers, mixers, turntable, soundboards, bubble machines, and other essentials for New Year’s Eve. Our tents are wide and tall enough to ensure maximum headroom – and you can even drape interiors with decorations, fabrics, patterns, and practically anything New  Year’s related.

This past year has been challenging for many families – from coast to coast and across the world. As we hope and pray for a better 2021, Economy Tent International (ETI) will always be here to help you and yours with event planning and tent purchases.

Decorating

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

  1. Affordability: Renting might be more economical if you host a one-off event or occasional gatherings.
  2. Storage: Event tents can take up significant space. If you lack adequate storage options, renting eliminates this concern.
  3. 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

  1. Long-term Investment: If you frequently host events, purchasing a tent can save you money in the long run.
  2. Customization: Owning your tent lets you personalize it according to your style preferences.
  3. 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.
