Tidewater® Sailcloth Tents
Our tents are not your average "weekender" rental tent. Our proprietary sailcloth fabric allows for dramatic lighting during both daytime and night time events. Built with 100% waterproof material and backed by engineering to keep your guest safe, our tents will keep you and your event going even when the weather does not cooperate. Each of our locations maintains different sizes and quantities of their tent inventory, so reach out specifically to the location nearest you to inquire more information on tent sizing and availability.

Sailcloth Tents
Sailcloth tents rely on tension in the membrane to hold the shape of the tent system. These tents are supported by single or multiple centerpoles in the middle of the tent area and a series of sidepoles around the perimeter of the tent area. The tent is tensioned toward the anchoring locations commonly with a rope or ratchet strap.
