Pole Tent vs. Frame Tent: Which Is Best For Your Event?

Planning an event and need to rent a party tent? If you're new to this, which we will assume is the case, you'll quickly come across the frame tent versus pole tent dilemma. For anyone stuck on which type of tent to choose, this overview of the pros and cons for pole tents and frame tents may help sort it out for you and get you closer to making a final decision.

Pole Tent Pros and Cons

A pole tent is a tent canopy supported by tall poles which hold up the center of the tent and shorter poles around the perimeter of the tent. The tent is secured in place with anchor ropes and stakes. Pole tents are also known as Tension tents, due to the canopy being tensioned over the support poles.

The soaring peaks of pole tents create a high-ceilinged, airy space under the tent and a storybook appearance from the outside.

Frame Tent Pros and Cons

A frame tent consists of a tent canopy stretched over an aluminum frame and support legs around the perimeter of the tent. Although frame tents are free-standing, they are often secured with weights or even anchor ropes when on grass.
