• Pole Tents (or Stake and Pole tents) are anchored into the ground around the perimeter of the tent. Tension is created by tying the tents poles firmly to the stakes in the ground. The peaks of these tents are created with tall center poles inside the tent. This style is common in back yards, parks or anywhere with an areas of grass that stakes can be driven in at least 3 feet deep.
• Frame Tents are free-standing and are commonly used on asphalt, patios, decks and other areas where stakes cannot be driven into the ground. The tent top is strapped to the metal frame and the peak of the tent is created by the frame itself with no center poles.

• The day before the tent or is scheduled to be delivered, ensure that the lawn is neatly trimmed.
