Difficult Tent Installations Made Easier with Tent OX™

Tent Installations Simplified

If you have been a professional tent installer for many years, you know it is not unusual to be asked to do the impossible.  Perhaps you are forced to park two 24-foot trucks on the street and manually haul the contents  to a backyard, or you need to level a 1% slope using a Granite or Biljax Stage floor in order to install a 6000 SF tent. In either case you know how to “get the job done”.  Tent OX simply mades these challenging professional tent installations easier.  This video…

…shows how the tent foreman worked around a difficult installation on a commercial site. Here’s the background:

Problem

A Commercial Realtor has 60,000 SF sq empty office space. He wants to bring some attention to the property by holding an event under a 50 x 70 tent installed on a 50’ wide blacktop parking lot.  Staking is 80% blacktop, but one side bordered with 40 feet of heavy shrubbery, 5′ tall.  

Analysis

The optimum location for the stakes is critical to the proper tensioning of the tent.  This location is impossible to access with a sledge hammer or gas driver unless you are standing within or on the bushes.  Since garden beds are inherently loose soil, the lace line and corner stakes must be tripled up with stake bars to insure holding power.

Solution

The Tent Ox makes the job easy by utilizing the boom-mounted OX Driver   It can be extended up to 5 feet beyond the machine wheel.  The  OX Driver’s “top down” design makes it easy to thread the tool through the branches causing no damage to the landscaping.  The machine and operator can work from the blacktop, extending the tools over the shrubs and down to the stake.  Since the rest of the site is blacktop, the need for pre-drilling is eliminated by having the OX Driver on site, for further $$ savings. When it’s time to take the tent down, an OX Stake Puller makes pulling stakes out of the bushes a much easier task.
