Vogelzang Tentverhuur

What Vogelzang Tentverhuur does

Vogelzang Tentverhuur B.V. is a Dutch privately held rental company based in Donkerbroek, Friesland, that rents outdoor event equipment — principally army tents, folding tents, pagoda tents, stretch tents, field beds, wooden flooring, furniture, lighting, refrigeration, heating, and safety accessories — to schools, private individuals, event organizers, sports clubs, and municipalities in the Netherlands and parts of Belgium and Germany. The company can accommodate camps for up to 1,000+ persons, drawing on inventory of more than 100 army tents, 1,000+ field beds, and several thousand square meters of wooden flooring, supported by five warehouses on a single industrial estate in Donkerbroek.

The business operates primarily as a direct-to-consumer rental model. Customers browse the online catalog, add items to a quote request, and submit non-binding quotes via the website; phone, email, and contact form are also available. Pricing is usage-based, with structured weekend (Friday 16:00 – Monday 09:00), midweek, and week rates for tents, per-unit/day rates for accessories, and an extra-day surcharge of 25% of the daily rate. Customers can self-pickup at the Donkerbroek depot or pay per-kilometer delivery charges; optional setup and breakdown by experienced tent staff is offered for a fee.

The company was founded in 1999 by Simon and Roelie Vogelzang as a small village shop with a military-surplus department, which evolved into a dedicated tent rental operation. Key strategic milestones include the 2013 acquisition of VHB (Grou), the 2018 acquisition of inventory from Schrale Tentenverhuur, warehouse expansions in 2017 and 2021, and a 2022 strategic pivot to focus exclusively on outdoor rental and small-scale garden parties. The company rebranded with a new logo in 2023. No external funding, private equity backing, or institutional investors are disclosed; ownership remains with the original founders.
