Rent a party tent: celebrate in the dry whatever the weather
A party tent makes your celebration independent of the weather. Whether it's a garden party, a birthday or a first communion: under the tent roof your guests sit protected from rain, wind and blazing sun. On Mietrix you will find party tents from lessors in Lower Bavaria and the Upper Palatinate – with price, deposit and free dates at a glance. You may also know it as a garden tent, event tent or small marquee.
Which party tent size is right?
As a rule of thumb, allow about one square metre per person at beer table sets. If you are planning a buffet, bar or dance floor, it should be more like one and a half to two square metres.
- 3 × 6 m: up to about 15 guests
- 4 × 8 m: up to about 30 guests
- 6 × 12 m: up to about 70 guests
For larger events, marquees with a sturdy aluminium frame are the better choice.
Tips for setting up safely
- Measure the space beforehand and allow about one metre all round for guy ropes and pegs.
- On grass, ground pegs hold the tent. On paving or asphalt, you need weights instead.
- Two to four helpers are ideal for setting up. Many lessors also deliver the tent and set it up on request.
- Clear the tent in strong winds. The lessor will tell you the permitted wind force.
To go with it, you can also rent beer table sets, patio heaters for cool evenings and lighting systems.
Frequently asked questions about renting a party tent
How early should I reserve a party tent?
For weekends between May and September, ideally several weeks in advance. For weddings it pays to reserve especially early, often as early as winter.
Do I need a permit for a party tent?
Usually not for a private party on your own property. For large tents and public events, talk to your municipality beforehand. Reputable lessors have an inspection log for larger tents.
Is a tent floor included?
Usually not. Ask the lessor about a tent floor or floor panels if the ground is uneven or wet.
