All,

Party Time is shutting down.? They are selling off some of their party supplies.? This includes some of their heavy vinyl party tents.

They have a Eureka brand 20x40 tent available for $700.? Sides are $20 each and 6 would be needed to fully enclose it.? Total for the complete kit is $820.

They also have a 20x20 tent they are asking about $1000 (it might have been $1200) for.? The reason they say this is more than the larger one is it's a newer tent that hasn't has as much recovered.

We don't do a lot of events, so I see this as more of a Field Day thing.? Would it be worth it compared to the smaller 10x10 pop-up tents we've been using?

Here is a link showing what it takes to setup.

Jeff at Party Time said two people can put this tent up in about an hour.

I've attached a couple pictures.? Here is a link as well.? These show examples of a tent setup as a canopy only and with panels.

My question for the club would be is this something we would like to pursue?? One of my bigger concerns is the anchors.? It looks like they need to be quite substantial.? Putting them in and taking them out would be a bit of work.? I don't think there would be any issues setting up at the Fairgrounds.? Setup and takedown may take a bit more overall.

I've never set one of these up so if anyone has input, please speak up.

If this is something we would like to pursue, we would ask for donations from members to make the purchase.? At this time, we have just over $250 or so in donations offered.

Thanks,
Charlie / K7AKT

Walt,

Thank you for sharing that.? I've looked at several Amazon ones before.? I was worried about the quality of the products.? Hard to know without being able to physically inspect it.? :)? Sounds like you're pretty happy with it overall though which is a good report.
