Sidewalls are some of the best event tent accessories you can invest in for your tent. Not only do they add style to your event tent, but they serve an important function, too. At American Tent, our custom heavy-duty tent sidewalls can be created to match any style or size preference. Whether you need sidewalls for a medical tent, outdoor warehouse, outdoor event, or more, tent walls can be the perfect addition.
Why to Buy Sidewalls for Your Tent?
A basic party tent is great but a canopy tent with sidewalls is even better! Sidewalls add style and function to your event tent, and have many benefits, including:
Protection from Rain and Other Wet Weather
No one wants to work wet, or attend an event and get drenched. Even in a covered event tent, rain can make its way into your covered space. American Tent event tent walls ensure your tent, guests, and event decor stay dry and secure even in inclement weather.
It Can Make You Warmer
A party tent with sidewalls is far easier to keep temperature regulated. In a temperate climate, simply adding sidewalls may be enough to keep your event warmer than outside and comfortable for guests.
Best of all, you get to keep your guests comfortable while still enjoying the benefits of an outdoor event. Tent sidewalls with windows will allow your guests to still enjoy the outdoors while being protected from the elements.
Keep the Air Still
Even if it isn’t particularly cold, a windy day can be a disaster for any event. Heavy wind can completely ruin the setup within your tent, blowing away decor and other materials, and your guests won’t be comfortable, either. Outdoor tent walls enable you to shelter from the wind and keep the air still within your tent.
You Don't Need to Worry about Insects
Vinyl tent sidewalls are a great way to protect your guests from unwanted insects when using outdoor tents. They can be easily attached to most commercial grade tents, allowing you to enjoy the outdoors without being disturbed by pesky bugs.
Climate Control
Sometimes, a party tent with sidewalls will still be too cold in extreme weather. Luckily, sidewalls make it far easier to control the temperature inside your tent. If you are going to pay for an industrial a/c unit or heater, you want to ensure it stays within your tent. Sidewalls make this possible, and help you regulate your tent temperature as efficiently as possible.
What Sidewalls to Choose?
Sidewalls come in various styles that can fit any event or use of your tent. Which style is right for you? Here are a few of the most popular types of tent sidewalls that we recommend:
Clear Tent Sidewalls
Want to keep your event as natural and outdoors as possible while still having a party tent with sidewalls? Clear sidewalls are perfect for you. They’ll still provide protection from the elements, but you can still see outside and you’ll barely know they are there!
Solid Tent Sidewalls
Solid sidewalls make great additions to outdoor warehouses, medical tents, temporary garages, and more. They offer the ultimate privacy, as they are completely solid and can’t be seen into or out of. They can also help you achieve an intimate feel for an outdoor event, offering an enclosed venue you can decorate in any style. These are made of a blockout material preventing light from shining into your tent.
Cafe Tent Sidewalls
Add style to your canopy tent with sidewalls; cafe tent sidewalls are here to deliver. With a 2.5’ solid white border along the bottom and a clear section to see out of at the top, these sidewalls are beautiful and add a lot of flair. They are the perfect choice for a wedding or other large, stylized outdoor event.
Tent Sidewalls with Windows
You get the best of both words if you choose tent sidewalls with windows. You will still be completely protected from the elements, but get a gorgeous view of the outdoors. This helps you create a more intimate and private feel than clear sidewalls, while still allowing you to see outside.

Sidewalls can enhance the overall aesthetic of your outdoor seating area, allowing event spaces to create a unique and visually appealing space that stands out from the competition.
How to Use Sidewalls for Your Winter Event
Sidewalls can be an essential tool for hosting an outdoor winter event. By providing an additional layer of protection against the elements, such as wind and cold temperatures, sidewalls can help to create a more comfortable and inviting environment for guests. They can also be used to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere by adding lighting, heating, and other features. With the right design and setup, sidewalls can help to transform an outdoor space into a winter wonderland that guests will love.
Please note sidewalls will become brittle if temperatures get below freezing. If you or mother nature moves the vinyl around in freezing temperatures may cause the material to crack. American Tent recommends maintaining a heater between 38-40° to keep the PVC material warm.
