For projects lasting more than a month, our long-term rental economics are far better than traditional weekend event tent rentals. We specialize in providing cost-efficient, durable shelter solutions tailored to extended timelines. With 10′, 20′, 30′, 40′ and 60′ wide (by any length) clearspan structures, we can manage your long-term tenting needs of any scale.
If you need a long-term tenting solution that is strong, safe, and built to last, we can assist with your long-term structure tenting needs in Southern Colorado. These structures are designed for durability, safety, and reliability. Unlike standard event tents, these structures provide shelter solutions suitable for the likes of universities, government agencies, public schools, and businesses that require long-term protection from the elements.
These structures provide a habitable, climate-controlled, and code-compliant solution tailored to your specific needs. From planning to execution, you can count on us to provide your organization with world-class solutions.
Compliance, Permits, & Fire Safety
We can help apply for your temporary membrane structure permit, which requires a fire inspection by the local fire marshall. This includes working with you to plan the proper layout in our 3d CAD tent layout software, providing the site plan, handling compliance revisions, and scheduling and attending the fire inspection. We will make sure your temporary structure is ready for any compliance scrutiny.
We can help with:
- Full tent permit application management
- Coordination with local fire marshals and inspectors
- Equipment complies with safety standards
- Exit signs, including emergency illuminated exit signs
- Fire extinguishers & “No Smoking” signs
Additions

- Sidewalls
- Flooring
- Lighting
- Climate Control
- Furniture
- Partitions & Barricades
Climate Control
Our heating solutions allow these structures to remain fully functional and comfortable even in the coldest months, making them ideal for long-term use in Colorado. Heating methods available include propane, natural gas, and diesel, depending on your particular application.
24/7 Weather Monitoring & Unlimited Maintenance Support
At Marvin Rentals, we understand that Colorado’s weather can be unpredictable, which is why we offer 24/7 weather monitoring as part of our long-term structure tenting service. Our team keeps a constant watch on wind speeds, snowfall, and other extreme weather, ensuring that your structure remains safe and operational at all times. When severe weather conditions arise, we proactively assess the situation and dispatch our crew if necessary to prevent any potential issues before they become a problem.
With every long-term rental, we include maintenance and weather check site visits necessary to keep your structure operating. For example, our team will come out to turn heaters on during extreme cold, rake snow off the roof to prevent weight-related collapses, and perform structural safety inspections as needed.
Secure Ballasting for Maximum Stability
We provide professional ballasting solutions to ensure your long-term structure tent remains securely anchored in any environment. If the installation is in a location that stakes will not be possible, our concrete ballast systems keep the structure firmly in place, preventing shifting or movement due to high winds or adverse weather conditions.
Water barrels as tent ballasts are not safe, nor suitable for long-term setups where safety and code-compliance is a concern. Water barrels weigh less than 500 pounds, compared with our 700 pound concrete ballast. Furthermore, they have a high center of gravity, causing them to be easily toppled, thus draining the entirety of the weight. You cannot push a concrete block over like you can a water barrel. Also, the bottoms of the barrels are smooth and slippery, causing almost no friction, unlike a concrete block that grips tightly to most surfaces.
The risk of injury from a tent that is not properly ballasted is a major liability that your organization cannot afford to ignore. When you need it done right, call Marvin Rentals.
