Rep Power: 0 | Re: What is the Best "Tan Tent" for mobile spray tanning? I ordered my tan tent through Tampa Bay Tans. I love the tent. It cost me a little over $100.00 with shipping and well worth it. I can tan my clients all over their house, or their garage, or outside etc. It is really user friendly and is so light I can just hook it to my suitcase handle when I go mobile. |

Mine is very roomy (4ft x 4ft and 7ft tall) and works great. Doesn't appear to be cheaply made either. I'm just starting my business though, so we'll see how it holds up. So far, so good! |

Rep Power: 0 | Re: What is the Best "Tan Tent" for mobile spray tanning? I work for theTanningStore.com and would like to offer some clarification on this issue. The "basspro" tent mentioned has a door opening only 5 feet tall. This makes it virtually useless in a business situation with clients over 5 feet tall since their head or shoulders will shielded off by the door opening. Our tent allows a person 6 feet tall to walk right in without bending over. The "basspro" tent is also much narrower at shoulder heigth than our tent, making it much more difficult for the technician to work. It also lacks a floor since it is just a shower tent. So, you run the risk of staining the client's location if you are using it for mobile purposes. The "basspro" tent is alos made of a thinner material. We have evaluated most of the ebay tents and can only say there is a reason they are so cheap. We actually pay more for our tent than some of the ebay offerings. I'd prefer to pay less and pass the savings on -- but it is our distributor cost that dictates our price -- which is $99.00 rather than the $109.00 that is quoted above. At such time as a cheaper tent becomes available that fills the needs of sunless tanning, we will stock it. But we would rather sell no tent than one that doesn't meet the business need. The "basspro" tent is a good shower tent for camping. But we believe it is a very bad airbrush tanning tent. |

Rep Power: 0 | Re: What is the Best "Tan Tent" for mobile spray tanning? i havent received it yet but i plan on putting down a black towel underneath i have a black shower curtain i plan on draping over the top then i can easily wash those and if the tent gets a lot of over spray i will hose it down in my back yard (which wont really be the case since I have a paasche gun that sprays very nicely with little over spray....) I figured i saved myself 50.00 and i could care less about aesthetics. |
