Tent Sidewalls are some of the most popular accessories we have at CELINA. With a wide variety of styles, windows, and custom printing, there are very few situations where tent sidewalls don’t add to the tent décor. And as much as we like to point out how great tent sidewalls are, we sometimes forget that not everyone may work with them on a daily basis.
Here you’ll find a series of tips that we like to try and convey just so that our customers can enjoy their tent sidewalls to the fullest extent.
Advanced Tips for Tent Sidewalls
Don’t Completely Enclose Your Tent
Over-adjustment can completely ruin a situation right after you’ve fixed an already uncomfortable scenario. One mistake that is easy to make includes completely enclosing your tent when deciding to set up tent sidewalls in the first place. This is not often beneficial, as the interior of the tent can become stuffy, especially on hot, sunny days. Tent sidewalls are best used to create or delineate the space under a tent (great for areas where merchandise is set out) or to help direct guest flow through your space.
Mix and Match
Similar to having an accent wallpapered wall surrounded by a complementary set of painted walls, you don’t need to always go all-white (or solid-colored) or all-printed tent sidewalls. You can also mix up some different styles within standard tent sidewalls. Create a rear wall to your tent, putting two small window walls to either side for more natural light and maybe aportion of a printed wall at the front for advertising. Feel free to swap around a variety of tent sidewalls to make unique layouts for any situation.
Don’t Be Afraid to Anchor
I know, I know … it seems like SUCH a hassle to run a line of rope through the grommets along the bottom of the tent sidewall, and then to attach anchor hooks to the ropes to keep the walls in place. When you are setting up a tent for a multi-day event, the staking can remove so many other additional headaches. If wind or rain does happen to spring up during your event, you’ll already know that there aren’t going to be any billowing to annoy guests in your tent, or rain and debris coming in each time a gust lifts the wall edge.
Room Creation
With the addition of Frame Tent Cables (common on longer frame tents for added strength width), you can easily attach a series of tent sidewalls through your tent interior! Cordon off areas within your shelter for rest zones or storage units or create maze-like walkways for funhouse installations. Using fabric makes installation simpler for non-permanent adjustments to your space.
