June through September is our peak season, with long weekends and Saturdays booking up fastest.

Yes. We carry commercial general liability insurance. Certificates of Insurance (COI) are available upon request for venues, municipalities, or clients that require proof of coverage before approving a vendor. Let us know at the time of booking if your venue requires documentation.

We offer Marquee, High Peak, Frame, and Pop-up tents ranging from 10x10 to 40x100+ ft to fit any GTA event space — from intimate backyard gatherings to large-scale festivals.

We help determine the right tent size based on your guest count, seating layout, and any additional items like stages or dance floors. Contact us and we'll recommend the best fit for your event.

Yes, we use weights and water barrels for safe and secure tent installation on pavement, concrete, or other hard surfaces.

The installation site should have clear vehicle access, reasonably level ground, and no low-hanging overhead utilities.

Please let us know about any obstacles or restrictions during your consultation so we can plan accordingly.

In Toronto, tents over 60 square meters (approximately 645 sq. ft.) typically require a city building permit. We can advise you on this during your consultation. In some cases we can assist with the permit application process for an additional fee — ask us when booking.

Delivery times depend on our daily route schedule and your location in the GTA. When your order is confirmed we will provide an estimated delivery window. If your venue has a specific access window or you need delivery by a particular time, let us know and we can arrange a timed delivery — please note this may incur an additional scheduling fee.

Our standard delivery fee is built around route efficiency — we group nearby deliveries together to keep costs reasonable for all customers. When you request a specific time window, it limits our ability to combine routes, which increases our scheduling and labour costs. The timed delivery fee covers that difference. If your venue has strict access requirements, let us know early and we'll find the best solution.

After-hours and early-morning deliveries require staff overtime and dedicated scheduling outside our standard routes. The premium fee covers the additional labour cost of accommodating your venue's specific access window. If your venue requires an early-morning setup or late-night pickup, please let us know at booking so we can plan and quote accordingly.

Delivery fees are calculated based on the distance from our Scarborough office and the size of your order. Contact us with your address and order details for an exact delivery quote.

Yes. Customer self-pickup is available at our Scarborough location at no delivery charge — this is the most cost-effective option for smaller orders.
