Outdoor parties are great especially when the weather is cool, bright, and forgiving. In Dubai, we are often faced with extreme climate conditions, either by smothering desert heat or biting cold winds. But sometime during the year, the city is blessed with the perfect weather where it’s just right. This is the best time to throw a party outdoors!
From kids’ birthdays to a simple gathering of friends, outdoor parties are sure hits with guests. During the planning phase, you might come across a variety of tents to choose for your big day and it can get overwhelming. But fret not! We’ve rounded together your options to make it simple for you. Here are eight popular types of tents to choose from in Dubai!
Canopy Tents
Canopy tents are perfect to use as temporary shelter. Your guests can keep their belongings in the tent and you can set up the buffet inside while the rest of the party goes on outside. This type of tent is perfect for get-togethers such as barbeques and beach parties. Canopy tents are typically smaller in size and are not necessarily designed to house your guests for the whole duration of the party.
Circus Tents
When you think about the circus, you picture out high peaks and stripes. That’s exactly how a circus tent is! These tents have high peaks and are supported by poles. Circus tents are playful, large structures that are perfect for children’s parties. They are customizable according to your needs and come in striped, simple fabric.
Clear Tents
Looking to let the view of the great outdoors into your tent while still sheltering your party? Clear tents are perfect for that! This kind of tent lets lots of light and the beautiful views of your surroundings come through. Clear tents work for both day and night parties, too! The overhead material is typically clear to let the light and night sky view peek through. Sidewalls are also available for this type of tent if you ever want an enclosed party.
Clear Span Tents
Unlike most types, a clear span tent is designed in a way that it allows for an open area in the middle without poles disrupting the space and view. This tent is customizable to suit your party needs and comes with floorings like hardwood and carpets, unlike most tents. In fact, it is sturdy and comes with sidewalls if needed. Unlike canopy tents, clear span tents are perfect for housing your guests!
Marquee Tents
A marquee tent is built with a frame but peaks in the middle. This sturdy structure is sturdy and customizable to meet your needs. It is easy to set up and dismantle. Ultimately, a marquee tent is a blend of a clear span tent and a pole tent.
Pole Tents
Unlike canopy tents, pole tents are often used to house full parties and guests. They come in an array of sizes but uses up more space to set up. It has several poles to support the structure which obstructs both the space and view within the tent. Pole tents also use up more ground space since it uses stakes as additional support. Sidewalls are also available for this kind of tent in case of inclement weather.
Sailcloth Tents
Most tents use heavy-duty fabrics for their structures. On the contrary, sailcloth tents use a unique material that allows light to seep through and into the tent. With this kind of tent, you can create a brighter atmosphere for your party. Though thin, sailcloth remains to be protective against bad weather and waterproof in case of a downpour!
Teepee Tents
The first thing that probably comes to your mind about this kind of tent is the Native Americans. Most commonly used in themed parties, teepees are designed to resemble the tents of the natives. The structure itself can be singular or combined with several others. However, as the structure suggests, there would be more poles needed to support the teepee!
