Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to prepare for a tent setup?
For tents larger than 10×10 feet that require staking, customers must call 3-1-1 to request a utility locate to ensure it is safe to dig in the area. Additionally, a building permit is required if:
- The tent covers more than 645 square feet of ground.
- It covers less than 60 square meters but is within 3 meters of another structure.
- It contains commercial cooking equipment.
Our team is happy to guide you through the process to ensure everything is in order.
Who is responsible for utility locating before tent installation?
The customer is responsible for all utility locating, including irrigation lines. You can contact Alberta One Call at 1-800-242-3447 to arrange a free locate.
If a private utility locate is required, the customer is responsible for any associated costs. For private locates, we recommend contacting Tracker Locating at 403-288-1196.
When do utility locates need to be completed?
Utility locates must be completed within 10 days prior to your scheduled tent installation.
Can I pick up and set up the tent myself?

- Pop-up tents may be picked up and set up by customers.
