ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1. Preparation: The installation area must be clear of obstructions before we arrive, as the first part of an installation is to spread the tent out flat. In like manner the tent must be empty when we come to take it down so it can be laid flat on the ground.
2. Asphalt Installation: To install a tent on asphalt we drive a stake about 30″ long into the asphalt. When we take down a tent we fill these holes with ready mix cement.
3. Concrete Installation: To install a tent on concrete we drill a 1″ hole and insert a ram-set anchor. We then screw an eyebolt into the anchor and tie the tent off to the eyebolt. When we take the tent down we remove the eyebolt leaving the anchor to fill the hole. Since we cannot recover the anchor there is an additional charge for concrete installs listed on the contract.
4. Space Requirements: Because of the guy lines and other considerations we generally have to have a minimum of 7 feet clearance outside the perimeter of the tent on all 4 sides. If you do not have this clear area you must let us know so we can suggest alternatives or solutions.
5. Sales Taxes: Appropriate sales taxes will be collected on all rentals in the State of Texas, unless the Hirer is:
- A non-profit tax-exempt organization
- A re-renter collecting the sales tax from the ultimate user of the tent
- A direct pay corporation. In any of these situations the Hirer must sign and return the appropriate certificate required by the State of Texas, which we will provide.
6. Other Additional Charges: Additional charges may be incurred as Overtime Labor if work is required to be performed outside our normal workday of 8-5 Monday through Friday.
7. Underground Lines and Landscape Plantings: We install our tents where the Hirer directs us too. As stated earlier we do not assume liability for underground lines as we cannot see them or locate them. Additionally, if we must stand in or work too close to a planting we may damage them. Our crews try to be careful but they must have room to work.
