Job Site Inspections
The purpose of a site inspection is to ensure the renter and the rental company the tent ordered will fit the renters’ needs (and space) prior to arrival at the site.
To ensure the safety of the tent erection crews and the tent renter, before a tent can be erected the following conditions must be determined (either by the rental company or the renter):
1.) LOCATION – After the proper tent size and style (frame tent vs. a pole tent) has been determined, choose a desirable location for tent.
a.	   The minimum area required for a pole tent is 8’ in length and width
                   more than the actual tent size. This allows 4’ around all sides for stakes.
(Example: A Celina 20’ x 30’ POLE tent requires a minimum of 28’ x 38’)
b.               The minimum area required for a FRAME tent is approximately 1’ around the
                  perimeter when staking and 6’ around the perimeter when using water barrels.
(Example: A Celina 20’ x 30’ FRAME tent requires a minimum of 21’ x 31’)
 
2.)  UNDERGROUND      – It is the renter’s responsibility to locate all possible 
underground utilities that could be located in or around specified area
a.	    Utilities could include, but not limited to water, gas, electric, telephone,
                     sewage, etc.
b.	   If any utilities lay underground of the specified area, THEY MUST BE
                   MARKED.
c.	   If you have any doubts or questions about any underground utilities,
                    contact the local (or state) Utilities Protection Service. Most utility 
                    protection services require a minimum of 48 hours notice to locate and
                    mark all underground utilities.
3.)  OVERHEAD      – Visually check the specified area for any and all overhead
obstructions that could possibly      be in the area of the erected tent top. 
a.	   This includes tree limbs, branches, basketball rims, power lines, etc.
b.                Tent height information can be received from Celina Tent.    

4.)     SURFACE – Surface is also an important issue in determining the proper
 type of anchor. Listed below are the 3 main types of surface conditions and the
 standard methods of anchoring,
a.    Grass                                       Staked
b.   Asphalt                                     Staked / Water Barrels 
c.    Concrete                                  Staked / Water Barrels / Concrete Anchors
(Asphalt plugs and concrete patch is available to replace holes).
