By nature, rental items get a lot of use (and sometimes abuse). We do our best to keep our inventory clean, inspected, and in good repair, however some items may show wear and tear or arrive dusty from warehouse storage, use and transportation.
We are happy to replace or refund any items if they are broken or non-functional prior to your event.
If desired, you may do additonal cleaning of rental items at your discretion using water, cleaning spray, or magic erasers.

Tables and chairs will be delivered stacked and must be restacked in the same manner and location at pickup.

Yes! Staking is the most secure form of securing a tent. We will submit a locate request with Gopher One (811) to have your property marked for underground utilities before staking.
*Clients will need to mark the area where the center of the tent should be with a white object such as a flag, chair, or bucket.
*G1 may use flags or small spray paint markings to indicate the presence of underground utilities.
In circumstances where stakes cannot be used, ballast may be used for an additional fee.

We can control a lot of things, but the weather isn’t one of them. Setups/teardowns may be delayed due to weather conditions at the discretion of the delivery crew. No refunds will be issued for weather-related cancellations.
-
If approaching weather is threatening with high winds, hail, tornados or lightning, please evacuate the tents and get to a safe sheltered area. TCER monitors weather conditions and reserves the right to take down tents at our discretion in order to prioritize safety and prevent damage to the tents.
-
When your event is over, please clean up and remove all trash, wipe tables and chairs down if necessary, and stack them neatly in a similar place and manner they were upon delivery. Our crews will do the rest!
*Chairs and tables not stacked at pickup will incur an additional $250 service fee.

Yes. Winter events in Minnesota and Wisconsin are a blast! However, we do require the sub-rental of a heater if the actual or forecasted temperature during the rental period is below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. A tent thermostat should be set to at least 50 degrees for the duration of the rental to protect the tents from freezing and cracking. You can find your own tent heater to rent, or we’re happy to sub-rent one for you based on availability.
-
Yes. Tents can be placed in public parks or streets with the proper permits and permission. Obtaining permits is the responsibility of the client and should be done prior to paying the non-refundable deposit to reserve items for your date.
-
Sidewalls can be added to any tent upon request for an additional fee (priced per linear foot). Both cathedral sidewalls (with windows) and solid sidewalls are available, and can be added to one or more sides of the tent creating partial shade, protection from drizzle, or full enclosure.
*Note that sidewalls are NOT designed to protect from wind and can be dangerous in windy conditions. Sidewalls must be removed if wind gusts exceed 25 mph.
