Ohenry manufactures three different basic types of party tents.  Each type is designed for a specific use, which defines the need for that particular type of tent.  Each type is different, with different advantages and disadvantages.

It is important to understand the type of party tent you actually need in order to make the best choice when choosing your tent!

 
Traditional Pole type tents

Traditional pole type tents are the most popular style of tent for all sorts of uses from party tent rentals to disaster relief tents and revival tents.

Traditional pole tents are extremely portable making them an ideal choice for those who have need of a party tent but have limited means of transporting their tent. You can even fit all the components of a 60x90 pole tent in a standard 3/4 ton pickup bed.

Traditional pole tents provide more covered area for less money than any other type of tent.  This makes a pole type tent ideal for covering extremely large areas efficiently.  Ohenry pole tents are designed to be used over and over again for many years.

Frame type tents

Frame tents were originally conceived as a design which eliminates the center pole or poles of a traditional pole tent. This is the main reason for this type tent. While eliminating the center pole can be advantageous, the frame type design creates it own set of difficulties.  The biggest difference between pole and frame type tents is that frame tents use specialized hardware, and require much more labor to install.

The frame type tent is ideal for use indoors where staking is not possible, or in applications where a center pole is undesirable. or the tent needs to be installed against a building.   Frame tents should be staked out just like a pole tent when used outdoors.

"Mystique" High Peak type tents

High peak tents are classified as "tension"tents. They are highly portable like a traditional pole type tent, and because of aerodynamic design highly resistant to extreme winds.

 

 

High peak tents are an ideal solution where the installation is expected to be long term. With the high resistance to wind, and exceptional drainage due to the steep pitch, a high peak design presents many desirable advantages over traditional pole type tents, or frame tents.

High peak tents are extremely desirable for weddings, and other events where an elegant look is desired. While more expensive, the high peak commands admiration.
