4 Key Tent Style Considerations for a 30x30 Tent Rental

A 30x30 tent size is incredibly flexible and can easily fit up to 75 guests for a cozy dinner with round tables, or up to 129 attendees for a lively theater-style layout. No matter what kind of event you’re planning, we’ve got a shelter style to match. Each option has its own special touch, so take a look at the styles below to find the one that feels right for your special occasion!

  1. Pole Tent: If you're aiming for that classic, festive carnival feel, a pole tent is the way to go. Featuring a center pole that creates a peaked top, this style adds charm to any occasion. Pole tents require staking, so they need to be set up on grass or another soft surface. The simple setup makes them easy to assemble, take down, and move to the next location.

  2. Frame Tent: A frame tent offers a clear, open space underneath with no center poles, making it ideal for events where you need maximum space. This style can be set up on nearly any surface, thanks to stakes or a tent ballasting system when staking is not an option. Frame tents are perfect for long-term use, often staying up for 6 to 8 months at a time.

  3. Clear Tent: For a touch of elegance, the clear-top tent is the best of both worlds. It provides the versatile features of a frame tent with an elegant, transparent roof that allows for a 360-degree view of the surroundings. Clear tents are particularly popular for fall or evening events, offering a beautiful view while keeping attendees protected from the weather. Just keep in mind, the clear top can trap heat in warmer weather.

  4. Keder Tent: If you're looking for a shelter designed for long-term use, the keder tent is the top choice. This combines the durability of a frame tent with an advanced track system that makes installation a breeze. The fabric slides easily through the track, allowing you to quickly remove it when bad weather hits, ensuring your tent stays in top condition.

7 Must-Have Accessories for Your 30x30 Tent

To make your 30x30 setup truly shine, we’ve put together a list of must-have accessories that will take your celebration to the next level. Whether you’re renting or buying, these extras can make all the difference:

Sidewalls: These are a game-changer for both weather protection and privacy. You can choose from solid, clear, or window sidewalls in different sizes to suit your needs, keeping your guests comfortable and the celebration running smoothly.

Flooring: Nothing beats the comfort of a solid, clean floor. Flooring not only makes the space feel more inviting, but it also reduces the risk of tripping, ensuring safety for everyone.

Tent Lighting: Set the perfect vibe with great lighting. Our 16oz blockout tents provide total shade, ensuring no sunlight sneaks through. You can add string lights or uplighting for a warm, inviting atmosphere as the evening sets in.

Tent Anchors: If staking isn’t an option, we’ve got you covered. You can use a tent ballasting system, concrete weights, or concrete anchor bolts to secure your tent, so it stays put no matter the weather.

Dropcloth or Tarp: Keep your tent looking like new. A dropcloth or tarp is needed during setup to help protect it from dirt and damage, extending the life of your tent for future events.

Frame Jacks: Set up with ease! Our frame jacks have a 1,200lb lifting capacity, making the process much simpler and faster for your crew.

Furniture: Don’t forget about the tables and chairs! We offer these as part of your rental, ensuring your guests are comfortable as they enjoy your celebration.
