News & Updates
What ACME is working on, what’s changing in Houston events, and what we’ve learned on site.
Notes from a Houston tent company that has been doing this since 1997 — storm season readiness, what a venue actually asks for, what went wrong on a job and what we changed because of it.

What Goes On This Page?
Things worth knowing before you book, written by the people who install it.
Storm season readiness and what to do before a named storm is in the Gulf. What venues and the fire marshal actually ask for, and how far ahead. Seasonal notes — when Houston stops needing heat and starts needing air conditioning, and how much lead time that takes.
And post-mortems: what went wrong on a job and what we changed. Those are the useful ones.
Start Here Instead
If you are planning an event now, the guides answer more than the news will.
How to choose a tent and the tent size guide are where most people should start. The Houston permit guide is the one people find too late.
For a full list, see Event Resources. Or skip it and call 713-729-2424 — a five-minute conversation usually beats an hour of reading.
Frequently Asked Questions
When we have something worth saying rather than on a schedule. We’d rather publish six useful things a year than a post a week about nothing.
Under Event Resources – tent sizing, choosing a tent, the Houston permit guide, pipe and drape, staging, lighting, climate control and disaster preparedness. Those answer far more than the news feed will.
Yes, and usually you should. Call 713-729-2424. We’ve been doing Houston events since 1997 and a short conversation beats an hour of research.
Yes – it’s the topic we come back to most. If your facility can’t stop, the Quick Response Team line is 713-729-2424 ext. 22, answered 24/7, and the disaster preparedness guide is worth reading before the season rather than during it.
