White water barrel rentals are great to be used as weights in hard surfaces when stakes cant be used to support our High Peak Frame Tent Rentals and Party Packages.  

Can You Set Up Tents on Concrete, Asphalt, or Patios?

Yes — we can absolutely set up tents on hard surfaces. If we can reach nearby grass or mulch within 10 feet of the tent legs, we’ll use our heavy-duty straps to anchor the tent safely.

If no grass is accessible, we use 50-gallon water barrels (over 400 lbs when filled) to secure the tent.

Here’s What You’ll Need to Know:

• You must provide hose access on setup day so we can fill the barrels

• We charge $50 per water barrel for the weekend rental

• You’ll need 2 barrels per tent leg that cannot reach grass

Important: Tents secured with water barrels cannot be installed with sidewalls. This is part of our safety policy and helps prevent wind hazards.

 

You may have seen some companies irresponsibly using only one barrel per leg, due to the low surface resistance of plastic barrels we require at least 2 barrels per leg to install on surfaces where we are unable to stake. There are no exceptions to our safety policy. Each barrel is roughly 450 pounds once full. 

You can either add the required barrels needed for your setup yourself or contact us to help with the layout to be sure you have the right amount as we will be in contact to check this before setup and provide a free custom layout to be sure we have everything planned accordingly.
