Now that you’ve got your shelter sorted, it’s time to arrange your dining area with folding tables and chairs:
1. Determine the Layout: Plan the layout of your dining area. Consider the number of guests and how you want your tables and chairs positioned. Ensure there’s ample space for your guests to move comfortably.
2. Set the Tables: Lay out your folding tables with care. Dress them with tablecloths and centerpieces to create an inviting ambiance.
