THE VESSEL RENTAL CO.
RENTALS AND CUSTOM FABRICATIONS
SERVICES
Rentals
We have an extensive inventory of metal and wood structures designed with events in mind. Most break down so they can be loaded, carried and installed by no more than 2 people. Most fit into an empty car, and all fit into your cargo van. Yes, those plates are heavy- they’re designed for stability, but 1-2 people can safely carry them. These are available via our will call style self serve pickup in Berkeley, CA.
A handful of our structures are too large or complex for self serve/will call and require installation and strike by the vessel.
If you would like to inquire about The Vessel delivering, setting up, or striking items from the rental page, we accept inquiries 1 month (or less) before the event date and are happy to take them on if we are available. Our small team can only do limited deliveries and our priority goes to larger structures and custom installations.
Custom
The Vessel welcomes custom projects and requests. We would love to fabricate the perfect structure for your event. Reach out via our contact form for more information. We are a small team and can only accommodate a limited number of events. Please reach out as early as possible so that we can work with you.

ABOUT US
From a young age, it was apparent that Carlos had a knack for mechanics. So much so, that his 3rd grade teacher accused him of getting help from an adult on a school project constructing a truck from found pieces. His dream was to become a mechanic but his parents couldn’t afford schooling so he began working in construction which led him to a long welding career. He became certified as a metal structures technician in heavy duty repairs (in layman’s terms, he repaired and adapted transmissions for buses, trucks, bulldozers among other things). Over the years he’s had experience tiling, pouring concrete, framing, and detailing, all of which informs his multifaceted work today.
In 2011 Carlos met his wife Jenny while working at the SF Flower Mart. Jenny’s work as a florist brought Carlos into the wedding industry. It was there that they found collaborative creativity and a shared opportunity creating custom fabricated structures. And thus The Vessel began.
