Weather can be unpredictable, especially in our Alberta climate and can be an irritating issue when trying to plan an outdoor event. As different events demand various styles of tents we have acquired many diverse types of tents to insure we have what you need for your next outdoor event!

If you are looking for a light cover to protect you against the summer sun the 10’x10’ Pop-up Shelter might be exactly what you require! This light-weight shelter is designed for quick and easy set up and provides light protection, as they do not come with walls.


Need a little more protection and would like to do the installation yourself? We carry three sizes of Canopies, 20’X20’, 20’X30’ and 20’X40’, to accommodate an assortment of small party sizes for an outdoor wedding ceremony, reunion or any other event. This is the perfect tent to install on grass in your backyard, with or without walls. We currently have a canopy promotion, for details on this promotion click here.


If installing a tent yourself doesn’t sound appealing and you have a group between 10 – 200 people a Frame Tent will fit your needs perfectly. Frame tents can be set up on grass or asphalt and come with window walls that can slide to allow for easy access to the outdoors. However, if you have a location with an unattractive view you can opt to have solid walls to hide the view from your guests.


Have you ever dreamed about hosting an event under the starry night sky? We currently have a selection of clear walls and tops for our frame tents to bring your dreams to life!

Require a larger size of tent to accommodate 100 – 2000 people? If so a pole tent will suite your needs perfectly. One thing to keep in mind when choosing a tent for your event is the extra space you will require for bars, DJs, dance floor, staging and buffet tables. As well, when deciding the area of space needed for your event you need to plan for the fact that all of our Pole Tents have poles every 20’ in the interior for structure stability. Our inventory of frame and pole tents all have an 8’ wall. This is a foot higher than our competition and helps to create a more open atmosphere at your event.



The Clearspan Structures are the newest addition to our tent family here at Special Event Rentals and have a unique structural design. A clearspan tent can accommodate a large group of people just like our pole tents but are designed without any obstruction inside the space. This style of tent allows a larger open space then both our frame and pole tents with a higher peak and 10’ walls. And just like the frame tent you can request clear walls and a clear top to allow you and your guests to dance under the stars.



Our ceiling treatment is created with voile fabric, which is also commonly used to create a romantic Backdrop and when used on the inside of a tent it can transform the interior into a luxurious atmosphere. Ceiling treatment can be installed inside any of our frame, pole and clearspan tents.
