Your event, start to finish
Tell us about your event. Even if you are not sure what you need, we ask the right questions about your guest count, space, and vision.
We put together layout recommendations, product suggestions, and a detailed quote. For bigger events, we create free CAD drawings so you can see the setup before the day.
Our crew arrives before your event, handles the full install, and comes back after to break it all down — so you can spend your time with your guests.
Our flagship service
We carry pole tents, frame tents, high peak tents, clear top tents, and festival booths, from 8-person setups to 500+ guest structures. Every tent includes professional setup and takedown and an onsite consultation.
Whether your event is on grass, concrete, or a patio, we have an anchoring method that works. Our crew handles all of it.

Party equipment rental
We also rent furniture for corporate conventions, trade shows, and business meetings — conference tables, lounge setups, and booths — and can bundle it all into a single order.
Events we service
From a 30-person grad party in Mason to a 400-person fundraiser downtown, we help you pick the right products, design your layout, and manage the delivery schedule.
Why Cincinnati chooses Academy
We offer a full range of tent solutions for outdoor events across Cincinnati — frame tents, pole tents, and clear-span structures in many sizes. Our team handles site inspection, professional installation, and removal, with proper anchoring, safety features, and optional sidewalls for weather.

We have used Academy Rental numerous times for various events. Our latest was Hamilpalooza held in downtown Hamilton, Ohio. We needed a tent and stage for our band for the event. The guys showed up on time and got the tent up quickly. At the end of the event, they were there at the appointed time to take it down. No waiting and wondering if they were going to show up. The staff and crew at Academy are incredibly friendly and always willing to go above beyond to help us put on a great event!Posted on Google![]()

We used the Academy Rental Group for our son's high school graduation party at our home. It was SO easy to work with them. I simply provided our address and once we determined the size of tent our backyard could accommodate (through a quick Google Maps search!) Academy took it from there. We didn't lift a finger, and it was perfect. They even took care of calling out the utility companies to confirm the locations to spike the tent in the ground. We used them for the tent, tables, chairs and decorative lighting. So many people commented on how wonderful it looked. We will definitely use them again in the future.Posted on Google![]()
