NEW PRODUCT!

We are pleased to debut our new Split Rail Fence. This fence is a much cleaner look than our original Picket Fence and we think that our customers will be much happier with the results at their events.

Why we made the switch:

Because of the the way the picket fence was designed, it did not stand up well to shipping. When we would unload at the job site, we found that some pickets would be broken off or damaged. Because we try to deliver the highest quality products to our customers, we recognized that it was time for a change.

After researching a handful of options and consulting with other rental companies regarding best practices, we settled on the new split rail design. We feel this product has a cleaner look and most importantly, it will ship much better, saving a lot of the wear and tear on the product.

For more information about this or any other product you may be interested in renting, please contact us at 614-837-6352 between 8 am and 4:30 pm. You can always visit us online at www.oneiltents.com.

Repair & Replace -- Keeping our tent inventory top notch.

Every Winter, we painstakingly go through every one of our tent tops to ensure that the quality of our rental inventory remains high. After hours of scouring, the tents pictured have been rotated out of the inventory for the upcoming rental season.

This means that we need to start the process of replacement. First, we determine if we have the tent sizes and colors that our customers have requested. Second, we look at the last time a certain tent color was used that we are getting rid of. For example: In the pile shown above, there are all Yellow 10x10 Frame Tents. This has not been a very popular color for this size, so they will not be replaced. However, the Blue and White tent tops that are pictured are popular, and they will be replaced. Enter: O'Neil Manufacturing.

The first step in the manufacturing process is to hand cut all of the vinyl triangles that will weld together to make new tents. After the vinyl is cut, it is placed on the staging table until our manufacturing team is ready to assemble and weld the new tent. The pictures show the pieces necessary to replace the Blue and White tents discussed earlier.

The final step is to weld the tents together and to put them into inventory. The tents we're making today will help you to enjoy your event this Spring/Summer/Fall.
