Arizona Biltmore tent structure
Oftentimes, when a tent is required where previously there was none, we at PRO EM find ourselves with fixed obstructions that have to be dealt with. Do we have enough room for the tent here? Are there any obstacles, such as trees, in the way?
Recently we installed a tent structure at the Arizona Biltmore hotel and had a few large trees in the way. The solution? Build the tent around the trees, don’t cut them down!!
That tree is going to look great surrounded by a fabric liner, twinkle lights and wedding guests.
