We were unable to get Iowa One Call out in time to check the ground to stake before we set-up this event with a 30′ x 30′ frame tent. We had to use Block and Roll dead weight on this windy and cold (temperature outside was 23.4 °F and dropping) day. We added a 290,000 BTU diesel tent heater and a 6500 Watt Honda super-quiet generator because multiple electronic devices under the tent were tripping circuit breakers. We added multiple sand bags at the base of the solid sidewalls to stop the wind from blowing under.

  • Tent warming up: Set-up inside heated tent on a cold day.
  • Inside heated tent with lights and power outlets for event.
  • Open door on heated tent.

  • Frame tent with "Block and Roll" ballast and sand bags to hold down the sidewalls in the wind.
  • 290,000 BTU Diesel tent heater and generator.
  • Event tent, 6500 Watt Honda Super-Quiet Generator and 290,000 BTU tent heater.

For cold temperatures like today, Big Ten Rentals recommends the use of a Hybrid tent or Clearspan structure because of the difference in the sidewall design. They let out much less heat and do not require sandbags at the base because the walls are stretched vs. wrapped around the tent.

A corporate luncheon with hundreds in attendance at the Ingredion Company in Cedar Rapids is often the most cost-effective way to gather the troops and get everyone under one “roof” for the event. Renting another location, transportation, and other liabilities just doesn’t make sense when we can add the extra room at your location. We…
