33 Important Points to Consider:

1 The  2  price sheet documents attached are in the Excel format. If you have Excel in your computer you will be able to read them. Prices are also available on the website http://www.PartyTentCity.com .

4. I can fax you a diagram of any tent.  We take payment by check or Mastercard/Visa/Discover over the phone or PayPal via e-mail.  Orders can be shipped the same day. Overnight,  2^nd day air and priority mail are available at additional rushed shipping costs.
 5. PartyTentCity.com tents are a great multi-use long-term low priced investment.  It doesn’t cost much more to own a party tent than is does to rent one for a couple of days.  Consider sharing the cost of multi-use modular party tent with a friend and use it during the entire year. This kit is for a frame tent. It is not a pole tent.  It includes everything you need except it does NOT include the pipe you purchase locally at Home Depot or Lowes. Pipe is too heavy to ship. When you buy from Party Tent City you are mostly paying for the welded steel connectors use to make up your tent angles. Ask your home convenience store for 1” EMT electrical conduit. They are only available in 10 ft. long sections.   The cost is about $6 to $ 7 each.  (Be very careful about buying a complete tent that has to be imported. The transportation costs and import fees to get a tent to you from overseas could be many times the price advertised. Check if those tents are modular.  Ask if tent can be made larger by purchasing a few more fittings and straight pipe. )
6. Optional Items to make your installation a lot easier:
A.    A professional type pipe cutter and a pipe vise set is only  $30.00. The cut edge from using a pipe cutter is smoother and safer than a hacksaw or a chop saw.
B.   Our tarps do have grommets on all 4 sides. A $9 grommet kit comes with 25 to 30 extra grommet parts for special customizing your tent.  A $ 17 kit coms with 100 grommets.

 Party Tent City has the most flexible sturdy tent set up on the market. Package kits DO NOT Include pipe, stakes or weigh downs. Any tent manufactured is susceptible to high winds or hurricanes. If they are properly tied or weighed down, they will withstand a certain amount of wind, but there are limitations and there are wind gusts. We sell frame tents so you can simply remove the tarp covering in a few minutes and roll it up by removing the ball bungees if you are anticipating high winds. The metal frame without the tarp will withstand just about any wind except a tornado . If you buy a pole tent (WHICH WE DO NOT SELL) the tarp holds the legs up so if one leg is removed or if a stake comes loose the entire pole tent may collapse.
 11. At http://partytentcity.com we have 184 standard tent packages, which include 6 models for each size. Your order can be customized further from this wide selection.  Gable models can be super reinforced (SR) for 20’ span, Super Duper (SD) for poles every 10 ft., (SRV or SDV) with a Valance and with side hardware (SRV7 and SDV7) and 7’ side tarps for all 4 sides. Pyramid  (PY) and Hip (HIP) are available but far more complicated to assemble and not as flexible. To see computer generated diagrams go to: http://www.partytentcity.com/dura/diagrams.html which gives you more models including dome tents and eave tents. With our kits you can make your tent to be just about what ever you want and it really does not cost much more.
12. Our tents come with a low 12-degree slope connectors. If the roof tarp is pulled tight,  it will shed water without pocketing.  High peak tents are less likely to pocket water but are more susceptible to wind.  A 2-sided valance model ( models will have a V in the no.)  makes tightening the tarp easier.  It makes it look nicer and allows for water to shed to the outside when side tarps are added later. 
13. The tarps are a waterproof poly/vinyl material similar to a heavy duty tarp that you would buy at Home Depot. They are not canvas. The white tarp weighs .30 lbs/sq. yd. The silver tarp weighs .35 lbs/sq. yd.  (About 6 ounces.) White allows a significant amount of light to come through and is more festive for weddings and big parties. Silver gray is a little bit cooler and does not show dirt as quickly.
 14. Prices:  All gable tent packages are built around 4 simple basic prices.
A. White and Silver Tarps are $ .12 sq. ft. : http://partytentcity.com/tarp1/tarp1.html .
B. Flat and low peak hardware fitting connectors are $8 ea. when purchased with a kit. High peak fittings are $10 each. You can look at the diagrams of durafittings: http://www.partytentcity.com/dura/fittings.html
C. Foot Pads are $ 6 ea.
D. Ball bungees are a wonderful invention for fastening the tarp to the pipe frame. They are $.20 each for 6” and 9”. The 12” ball bungees are $.40 each.
15. Our triangular truss design will support 20 ft. spans in tents 10 to 40 ft. wide.  If you need a  gable roof clear span from 21 to 30 ft. you could use the fittings for a 40 ft. wide tents and use cold-water steel pipe for leg supports or build a dome tent. Photos of a 30 ft. long   20 ft wide dome tent are now available by clicking our main website http://www.PartyTentCity.com in section 57/99 http://www.SurplusCitySales.com/party-tents-canopies-awnings/tent-photos.html . You can have a dome tent up to 30 feet wide using a 50 ft tarp wide. A dome foot print could be10x20, 10x24, 10x30, 10x40, 20x30, 20x40, 20x60, 25x30, 25x40, 25x50, 25x60, 30x30, 30x40, 30x50.
  16.Strength:  Is 1.5 " or 2" pipe needed for a big tent?”  NO!  We designed a reinforcing connector to make the rigid triangle. The 1” pipe frame becomes very strong. Don’t make the mistake of thinking top fence rail is stronger. The tarp only weighs 6 ounces per sq. yd. Bigger pipe can be overkill.  You can chin yourself on our frame. 1” fittings are less expensive cheaper and less expensive to ship.. 1" pipe is more easily available and costs a lot less. It is lighter than 1. 5” or 2".   We sell the most flexible tent on the market. Our largest in stock silver heavy-duty tarp is 50 x100. The fittings are interchangeable for a 10x10 tents or any other sizes.  60x60 tents all use the same hardware connectors as a 10x10 tent.
17. Our gable models with sides do not cover the peak section of the gable end wall. Sometimes we can provide you with a 4 sided valance. http://www.surpluscitysales.com/images/20x20SRV4sidedValance2of2.jpg
