Tent Heating
Tent heating is extremely variable. Its impossible to call weather conditions any more than a few days in advance
of your event. We can give good advice based on passed experience. This can help, but is a far cry from exactly
what you may or may not need.
Other tent heating basics you should know
Tent heaters use propane for fuel but need a small amount of electricity to operate the heaters igniter and
blower.
You can provide your own fuel (You must use the correct size tanks). Otherwise our heaters come with about 10
hours worth of fuel. You only pay for the fuel you use.
Tent heaters normally go on the outside of the tent, but if there is plenty of ventilation you can put them on the
inside. (If its a windy day moving the heaters inside the tent makes them more effective).
Using multiple small heaters rather than one large heater makes a tent more comfortable.
Tent heaters are controlled by a thermostat similar to a house thermostat.
The heaters we use are UL listed for tent heating. They come in 2 sizes 80k BTU per hour and 170k BTU per hour. (We
have a heating specialist on staff that will assist you with your heating needs).

- We have never had to heat a tent in late June, July or August.
- We have heated tents in late May, early June and early September. (this is rare)
- Early May and late September we recommend that you reserve a least some heat capacity to take the chill
out of the air. (You may need more heat depending on conditions) - April and October plan on using a large amount of heat.
- The rest of the year it can be extremely difficult and expensive to keep a large tent comfortable.
