Small Party Business Startup Owner Tells Useful Rental Company Knowledge

[@seanmichael374]

On to my 4th video. I’m looking to start something very similar but my end game is to buy land, and cultivate and build an event property, buildings, lodgings; catering the works; multiple locations around the property offering all the traditional outdoor ideas. This is amazing, and I would love to make contact and pick your brain. Thanks for good content

Boiling the leg ends is the best way to get them back on, thanks bud.

[@anacondre123]

Just want to say thank you man. Your videos are great. But most importantly your genuine advice and knowledge. We started 6 months and are growing our inventory with every week that passes. You are an inspiration. I hope you keep making videos. We will soon launch our website and automating a lot of our bookings. P.S we purchased your Marquee letters and they rent out like crazy.

[@mericiagill6585]

Where did you buy your fanback chairs and tables from

[@cavape2008]

Hi Lee, when you will release a video of the dance floor? I want to know if I should get it from SES...

[@therentalguy]

Yes, I’ll get one together. Everyone cries about snaplock. For me, so far so good.

How much do those barrels weigh? Do you add anything to add weight to them to keep them from tipping?

[@therentalguy]

They don’t weigh much. I try to keep the barrels watered. When they dry out they become very light. Also I recommend some lighter styles of string lights. I also tell clients to use a barrel every 20’.

Do you have any suggestions on how to combine 2 10x20 pop ups with sleeved legs to a rain gutter so I can technically have a 20x20 waterproof tent?

[@therentalguy]

Velcro🤫

[@raulcastro6950]

Can you do a video on how pricing, or formula on how to price rentals appropriately! Love your videos man! Thank you ! You’re making it easy!

[@therentalguy]

Currently working on a video for this.

Why do you boil the leg feet? Is it easier to put them on or is that how they kind of mold to the chair? I need to do this.

[@therentalguy]

Yes, your -“apparently supposed to boil them. However I no longer do It this way to speed up the process.

[@TheLifeofJenelle]

Where do you purchase your chair feet? Are they rubber or plastic? I need some but don't know which size to get and I have the same chairs.

[@therentalguy]

Chair feet from SES in Canada.

[@porchard8261]

So how it is when customers pick up the tents...do they always bring them back? Or they don't? Are they damaged a lot? And what do you do ,when they don't bring back the tent? Or when the tent is damaged?

[@therentalguy]

Always check the tent with them before. With them after or as soon as you can. Take pictures of their ID upon pickup. Take the credit card on file and charge a damage deposit if you need to. They always bring them back. You have to be firm with you clients with warnings on the emails and contracts. If you are firm they will respect your stuff. Also be prepared to lose a tent or 2 due to damage every season. Keep that broken tent for replacement parts.

Do the black tents rent out? They look like a funeral tents...

[@therentalguy]

I don’t rent out the black ones very much. I regret buying them. However I do have them priced higher.

[@TheLifeofJenelle]

Where do you purchase your pop up tents and what sizes do you have?

[@therentalguy]

Here is one of my styles of pop up tent. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYjPq6GchKqbfsU

[@therentalguy]

I also do a very light duty option that is popular for customers on a budget who won’t spend lots no matter what. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6iniISQrZaqiKs

[@therentalguy]

Here’s the Popup tents I started with. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJO8mpWcbJqXepo

[@therentalguy]

I guess I should also answer the question. What size pop up tents do I have. I have: 10x10 light duty steel 10x10 aluminum professional 10x20 steel 10x20 aluminum professional

[@TheLifeofJenelle]

@@therentalguy thank you so much. I am going to order a 10x20 pole tent and some pop up tents. Thanks to you I feel confident in knowing I can do it myself whenever help is dependable.

[@porchard8261]

Why do you use sandbags? Not the stakes, I use stakes and it works...

[@therentalguy]

There are many reasons. 1. In some areas stake are prohibited 2.stakes cannot be used on concrete 3. If you give the clients different options you can have them to be added separately for additional cost and when they add separately it gives them more reason to decide how many they want. This is the perfect opportunity to let them know that the best choice is using both. (The tent your looking at has 6 ratchets and stakes = $9.00 but they also added 4 sandbags for an extra $14.00. So in total having the weights and stakes separate gained me $23.00!)

@@therentalguy I bought some water bag style weights from Amazon. They look like they take sand but they take water, much better, IMO.
