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.
