Established in 1992, Tents Unlimited has grown to be the largest tent supplier in the Southeast.

Tents Unlimited offers Clearspan, Frame, Pole, Twin Pole, High Peak and Custom tents, along with climate control equipment, walk-in restrooms, flooring and staging as well as sound and lighting. This huge facility is hard to find, set well back from the road and completely fenced in.
