Episode 16: Growing Hess Tent Rental & Bringing the Stake Extractor to Market with Mike Hess

Join us for Episode 16 of How I Rent It with Mike Hess, owner of Hess Tent Rental in Manheim, Pennsylvania, and the person who played a key role in bringing the Extractor Stake Puller to market.

Mike was raised on a farm, so he’s no stranger to hard work. The one thing he loves more: efficiency. The Stake Extractor was originally invented by John from Discount Tent Rentals as a solution to a common pain point crews face during tent tear-downs. It made stake removal faster, safer, and far more efficient. Mike recognized its potential and helped bring the product to market, allowing crews to spend less time fighting stakes and more time focused on the work that matters.

In this episode, we discuss Mike’s journey from employee to starting his own business, how he built Hess Tent Rental into an incredibly in-demand business, and the process Mike went through to make tent teardown loads more efficient.

Whether you’re wanting to start your own business, or want advice from rental business experts, this episode is one you don’t want to miss!
