Temporary Warehouse Structures in Des Moines, Iowa | 30,500 sq ft On-Site Tent

February 4 to February 11 our crew erected four Tents totaling 30,500 ft.² in Des Moines to be used as temporary warehousing. Only one time in that week was the temperature greater than freezing. Most days with wind chill temps were in the single digits or negative. Total covered area was greater than half of football field including the end zones, and equal to more than 70% of an acre. Congratulations for a job well done Misael, CC, Bryce, Jose, Jorge, owen, Javier & Luis!

Bleachers delivery to Orlando, Florida from Iowa City, Iowa

Big Ten Rentals delivers two 45′ towable bleachers to Orlando, Florida all the way from Iowa City, Iowa.

This was a last minute event due to a more local rental company backing out of the contract last minute (possibly due to storms). We were able to mobilize our towable bleachers and deliver them to our client.

Last minute Saint Patrick’s Day event tent setup at Steve’s Old Time Tap in Rock Island, IL

When we say we got a last minute phone call from Steve’s Old Time Tap in Rock Island, Illinois about a Saint Patrick’s Day tent,  we mean at 10 pm (after we were closed) on March 16th the owner of Big Ten Rentals received a text message. The weather for Saint Patrick’s Day was going to be overcast and drizzling on and off for most of the day. So we set up a 30′ x 75′ frame tent with sidewalls to help block the wind. Luckily, the Irish kind, the event was held in a concrete parking lot so we used eyebolt tent anchors and didn’t need Iowa One Call or Concrete blocks. We were able to mobilize the staff and set up this amazing event. We hope to see them again next year.
