Event Tent Sizes, Frames, Walls and Hardware Guide

Choose an event tent from the approved footprint and setup requirements, not guest count alone. The catalog offers 10 × 10, 10 × 15 and 10 × 20 foot printed canopy systems with size-matched 40 mm aluminum hex frames, wall choices and separate transport or ballast accessories.

Practical planning

Make the choice from real project conditions.

01

Start with the permitted footprint

Confirm the organizer's exact space, canopy-size limits, setbacks and height rules. A 10 × 15 or 10 × 20 tent needs a longer approved footprint than a 10 × 10, and walls can change access, circulation and exposure.

02

Keep frames, walls and accessories matched

The frame-only product lists 10 × 10, 10 × 15 and 10 × 20 sizes. Printed full and half walls, support poles, wheeled bags and flag holders must match the selected tent dimensions and compatible frame components.

03

Treat ballast and weather as site decisions

The sandbag accessory is supplied unfilled in four-piece sets for 10 × 10 and 10 × 15 tents or a six-piece set for 10 × 20 tents. Follow venue and manufacturer requirements; weather-resistant fabric does not make every condition safe.

Common questions

Useful answers before ordering.

What event tent sizes are available?

The catalog lists 10 × 10, 10 × 15 and 10 × 20 foot canopy and frame systems. Use the venue's assigned footprint and rules to choose among them.

Does event-tent hardware include a printed canopy?

The Event Tent Frame Only product is hardware without a printed canopy. Review a complete printed tent configuration when both the canopy graphic and frame are needed.

Are event-tent sandbags filled when delivered?

No. The listed four- and six-piece sandbag sets are supplied unfilled. The responsible setup team must follow the venue's ballast and installation requirements.
