Action Tents

What Action Tents does

Action Tents, Inc. is a family-owned tent and event equipment rental company headquartered in Lewisburg, Tennessee, serving Middle Tennessee and adjacent markets since 1993. The company rents tents, tables, chairs, stages, dance floors, lighting, and climate control accessories to event organizers, with weddings, corporate events, and community festivals as its primary end markets. Its service area spans approximately a 100-mile radius, including Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, Spring Hill, and Columbia in Tennessee, with extensions into Southern Kentucky and Northern Alabama.

The product portfolio is built around two core tent formats — pole tents and frame tents — supplemented by folding canopies and a broad inventory of ancillary rental items. Tables come in round, banquet, bar, and bistro formats; seating includes white, brown, and classic padded wedding chairs; and add-ons span dance floors (wood-finish and black-and-white), modular event risers with skirting, sidewalls (solid, clear, and windowed), Italian string lighting, pole and drum fans, and 170,000 BTU portable heaters. The business is fundamentally a physical logistics operation — equipment is delivered, set up, and picked up by the company's own crews — with no proprietary technology, software platform, or AI components disclosed. Sales occur via an e-commerce website, phone, email, social media (Facebook and Instagram), and a quote-request form.

Revenue is generated entirely through per-event rental fees, with a 50% deposit required at reservation and the balance due at or before delivery, plus setup fees of $1.00 per table and $0.75 per chair. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly listed. The company has 11–50 employees, no disclosed funding history, no parent or subsidiary entities, and no patents, certifications, or third-party partnerships on record. There is no app, API, or developer-facing integration, and customer acquisition is organic, leaning on direct outreach, website quote requests, and social presence.
