The American Rental Association (ARA) has put together a whole host of Safe Tenting resources to help you not only create safe tenting installs for successful tented events but also reduce your liability.  

Tents are an essential inventory item for many event rental operators. However, if they fail severely, the repercussions can be life-altering for all involved. That is why the American Rental Association (ARA) has created the new Safe Tenting Program.

No doubt you have seen news reports and/or YouTube videos of tents that failed so severely that they caused property damage or, much worse, resulted in loss of life. Businesses involved in those types of failures can have irreparable harm to their reputation and can even result in the business going bankrupt.

The new American Rental Association (ARA) Tent Ballasting Tool, which was unveiled at The ARA Show™ 2023 in Orlando this past February, is something those in the event industry have been wanting for a long time because there has not been a designated best practice or standard for the proper ballasting of non-engineered tents.
