We rent LED bistro string lights in 24 ft ($12) and 48 ft ($22) strands, propane patio heaters ($35, propane not included), a 100-watt black light ($15.75), and candle holders and lanterns ($3 each). One rental price covers up to 3 days, and we deliver from Ferndale across Whatcom, Skagit and Snohomish counties. Heaters are not allowed under or near a tent. Use them in open-air areas only, well away from tent fabric.

Patio Heaters for Open-Air Events
Rent patio heaters for a patio, a deck or a lawn. Each heater is $35 and runs on propane, which is not included. Heaters are for open-air areas only, away from any tent.
Where Patio Heaters Can Go
Not under the tent or near it. Heaters are not allowed under or near a tent. Use them in open-air areas only, well away from tent fabric. Our rental terms don't allow heating or cooking under or near tents.
Where you place a heater in an open-air area, such as a patio, a deck or a lawn away from the tent, is your choice.
The usual manufacturer guidance: set the heater on firm, level ground, keep it clear of walls, umbrellas, branches and decorations, don't move it while it's lit, and turn it off in strong wind.
Bistro String Lights for Tents and Yards
Measure each run of lights you want, add about 10% for sag and the run to the outlet, then build it from 48 ft and 24 ft strands. For a tent, the simplest plan is a strand around the edge of the roof. The lengths below are arithmetic plus that 10% planning allowance.
| Space | Layout | Length with Sag | Strands | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 x 20 Tent | Around the edge (80 ft) | About 88 ft | 2 x 48 ft | $44 |
| 20 x 40 Tent | Around the edge (120 ft) | About 132 ft | 3 x 48 ft | $66 |
| 20 x 40 Tent | Three runs end to end (sides and center) | About 132 ft | 3 x 48 ft | $66 |
| 20 x 60 Tent | Around the edge (160 ft) | About 176 ft | 4 x 48 ft | $88 |
| 30 ft Patio | Four zigzag passes (120 ft) | About 132 ft | 3 x 48 ft | $66 |
Bistro lights are LED and plug into an outlet, so tell us how far your power is from the tent.
Candles and Lanterns
Yes, with limits: our terms don't allow open flames under or near a tent, so use LED candles there. Candles are not included. Our holders and lanterns are $3 each.
| Item | Price per Rental |
|---|---|
| Glass Pillar Candle Holder | $3 |
| Gold Candle Holder | $3 |
| Pillar Candle Holder | $3 |
| White wooden lantern (fits standard candles or LED lights) | $3 |
| Acrylic Crystal Table Flower Stand | $3 |
Wax on linens is cleaned at $45 an hour, so set candles in holders and keep them off bare cloth.
Black Light
The 100-watt black light ($15.75) is for neon and glow-in-the-dark parties: it makes white and fluorescent colors glow. It plugs into an outlet.
Lighting and Heater Questions
Do bistro lights need power?
Yes. They plug into an outlet, so tell us how far your power is from where the lights hang.
Is propane included with the patio heater?
No. Bring a filled propane tank for each heater.
Can I rent bistro lights without a tent?
Yes. Each strand is rented separately, for a patio, a pergola or a backyard as well as a tent.
