Complete your event setup with these must-have add ons to take your 20x30 tent to the next level and add an extra touch of professionalism:

1. Sidewalls: Keep guests comfortable with solid, clear, or window sidewalls that block wind, rain, and add privacy while enhancing the aesthetic of your tent.
2. Tent Ballasting System: Ideal for hard ground like concrete, this engineered ballast system uses 75-gallon water barrels to safely secure your tent. No stakes? No problem!
3. Drop Cloth: Protect your tent during install and extend its lifespan with a drop cloth. A simple yet effective way to keep your investment in top shape.
4. Frame Jack: Lifting your tent has never been easier with the right equipment. A frame jack with a 1,200lb lifting capacity saves time and effort during tent setup.
5. Stake Puller: When the party’s over, don’t struggle with stakes. A stake puller makes takedown quick and efficient, so you can wrap up faster.
6. Furniture: Provide enough chairs and tables for your guest count. Comfortable furniture completes your occasion and ensures happy attendees.
7. Lighting: Transform your tent into a glowing, magical space with the right lighting. From elegant string lights to bold uplighting, the right setup makes a big difference.

Whether you're hosting a one-time celebration or envisioning a series of events, it’s important to be prepared with the right tent. Renting a 20x30 tent is a great option for a single event. But if you’re planning to use a tent more than five times, buying your own will save money, provide flexibility, and allow you to customize your tent setup to fit your unique style.
