Why are we so bullish on Celina Tents?

  • Quality equipment while still being lightweight enough for a solo entrepreneur or a small crew to be able to manage easily.

  • Smart modular tent strategy to start. Using Celina’s 20×20 Pinnacle High-Peak Frame tents, you can create 20×20, 20×40, 20×60, 20×80 or other creative layouts without needing massive sized frame tents, long poles, etc.

  • Extremely competitive pricing.

  • No poles longer than 10ft. All of this can be done with a regular full-size pickup truck.

  • A 20×20 tent can be set up by one person, or EASILY with two.
