We are a family-owned rental outfit in Albany, and Big Lake is 53 miles up the road. Folding chairs and banquet tables loaded on a trailer, quoted for the whole weekend. Tents and bounce houses too. Tow it yourself or let us bring it.
Big Lake is about 53 miles out from Albany — roughly 70 minutes each way, near the edge of where we run. At 53 miles, towing it yourself is the economical call if you have the vehicle for it. If you do not, we will quote the drive honestly.
With about 12,405 residents, Big Lake is big enough to have real venues and a steady run of events, but small enough that your party is not a rounding error to whoever takes the booking. Big Lake has enough going on that most weekends somebody is setting up folding chairs somewhere. We would rather it was ours than six borrowed sets.
We cover Big Lake as part of a run through Sherburne County that also takes in Monticello, Becker and Otsego, so it is rare that we are making a trip out here for one booking. One number, agreed on the phone, unchanged when you return it. We have never seen a reason to complicate it. If your weekend is already taken we will say so straight away, not after you have planned around us.
One trailer, one flat price, and a family that reads every request itself. Here is the whole list — there is no hidden catalogue behind it.
| What you get | What you pay | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| The loaded trailer | Quoted for the weekend | Chairs and tables on board |
| However many you use | Same quote | We do not split the load or count them back |
| Keep it Friday to Sunday | Same quote | No per-day multiplier |
| Need more than it holds | Just ask | We can add to it |
| Booking deposit | $200 | Reserves the date, comes off the total |
Most rental companies price per chair per day, so a Friday-to-Sunday event gets multiplied by three before delivery is even added. We rent the trailer, not the chair — one flat price whether you pull a dozen off the rack or empty it.
Pick the loaded trailer up in Albany with a truck or SUV rated to tow, using a 2-5/16 inch ball. Tow it to Big Lake, pull the chairs off, host, hang them back, bring it home. This is the cheapest way and it is what most people do.
Tell us the date, headcount and address and we deliver to Big Lake on your schedule, then collect it when the party is over. Delivery quoted by distance for Big Lake.
One quote for the weekend covers the loaded trailer — folding chairs and banquet tables — as one bundle, however many you actually use. A $200 booking deposit reserves the date and comes off the total. Delivery to Big Lake is separate and quoted by distance — delivery quoted by distance applies here.
About 53 miles from Albany, roughly a 70-minute drive. It is an easy haul if you are towing it yourself.
A 2-5/16 inch ball and a vehicle rated to tow an enclosed trailer — most half-ton pickups and full-size SUVs handle it without any trouble. If you are unsure whether your vehicle is up to it, tell us what you drive in the booking form.
Yes. Delivery quoted by distance applies to Big Lake, which is 53 miles from Albany.
No. Chairs, tables and bounce houses is the whole list right now, with tents and yard games coming. We would rather do a short list properly.
The trailer is enclosed, so the chairs stay dry until you pull them out. If you have to move the whole thing indoors, the racks make picking them back up quick.
For a whole weekend, we think so, and it is the billing model rather than a discount: companies that price per chair per day multiply by the count and again by the days. We quote the trailer once, for the weekend. Get a quote from anyone else and compare the weekend total, not the daily rate — that is where the difference shows up.

Tell us the date and the headcount. We will confirm whether it is open, usually the same day.
