East Gull Lake sits 64 miles from our yard in Albany. We are a family operation, not a rental chain. 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.
East Gull Lake is about 64 miles out from Albany — roughly 85 minutes each way, near the edge of where we run. At 64 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.
East Gull Lake has around 1,083 people, which in this part of Minnesota means a community that turns out properly when something is happening. East Gull Lake events tend to happen in the places a town this size actually has: the church hall, the community centre, the ball field, somebody's shop.
We cover East Gull Lake as part of a run through Cass County that also takes in Baxter, Pillager and Brainerd, so it is rare that we are making a trip out here for one booking. You are renting a loaded trailer, not a chair count. Nobody tallies what you used when it comes back. You are dealing with the family that owns the trailer. There is nobody here to escalate to, and nobody who needs to be.
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 East Gull 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 East Gull Lake on your schedule, then collect it when the party is over. Delivery quoted by distance for East Gull 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 East Gull Lake is separate and quoted by distance — delivery quoted by distance applies here.
About 64 miles from Albany, roughly a 85-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 East Gull Lake, which is 64 miles from Albany.
Friday is standard for a weekend booking, but if the trailer is free Thursday you can often have it then at no extra charge. It depends who has it before you.
No — you pull them off the racks and place them where you want them. That is part of why the price is what it is. Bounce houses and water slides come with their own blower and ground stakes; if you would like us to deliver and set one up, say so and it is quoted with the booking.
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.
