New Clear Span Structure Inventory!

Great news! O'Neil Tents and Party Supplies is now offering 40' wide clear span structures.



We are expanding our clear span structure inventory, which is already the largest in the state of Ohio, to include 40' wide structures.

The benefits of these structures are numerous:

1. Our new 40' structures are engineered to withstand winds of up to 65 mph. That's strong!

2. While our traditional 40' frame tents offer no center pole or support obstructions under the body of the tent, our new structures take that a step further with modular addition of sections in 10' increments. The real benefit here is to our long term renters. If you need more space than originally planned, we won't need to come out and take down your existing tent to add more space to it. We can simply add sections to the existing tent while its still in the air. This gives you more space in less time! Rather than a full day to add an additional 20' to an existing tent, our time will be cut to about 1-2 hours on site.

3. Side heights are extendable up to 10'. Currently, our frame tents come in 7' or 8' side heights with limited opportunities to extend those sides higher. We can easily extend our clear span structures to the side height of your choosing. This is ideal for using stages under the tents.

4. Easier uses of mixed media tops and covers. Our new structures make it worlds easier to use different types of roof and side fabrics. We can transition between opaque, translucent and clear tops to give your event a high end feel without breaking your budget.

O'Neil now offers engineered tent solutions in 33', 40', 49', 66', 82', and 100' widths making us the leading tent and structure renter in terms of safety and choice. Starting in the second week of July we will be expanding our huge inventory even further to include 20' wide engineered structures. Truly now, ALL of your tenting needs can be met safely and efficiently.

Commencing of Commencement

It's graduation season, not only for high school seniors but also for those at colleges and Universities across the country. It's a great time to celebrate achievements and to look forward to whats ahead. Some will move on to college and further their education, others will be moving into the "real world" and begin their careers and count down to retirement.

We are lucky to be a part of so many celebrations, not only in the central Ohio area, but also in various locations around the state. In partnership with Advanced Tent in Cleveland, we erected a MASSIVE 100'x300' clear span structure for the Lakeland Community College commencement ceremony. Believe it or not, an 82' x 245' structure was not large enough to house the ceremony. As far as classy ceremonies go, this one takes the cake.

It took us only 2 days to erect and finish this huge clear span structure. The first day was comprised of laying out base plates and frame as well as driving stakes to secure the temporary structure able to withstand 70 mph winds. The second day was for erecting the frame with the help of some heavy lifting equipment and pull through the vinyl tops. Who would think that in only 2 days you could have 30,000 sq. ft. of unobstructed space set up and ready to use? It's pretty amazing when you think about it.
