Tent Styles Available in 30x40

With all the tent styles available, how do you know which one is the best fit for your event? 

That’s where we come in. Our team is here to walk you through the differences so you can feel confident in your choice. Whether you’re setting up on soft grass for a backyard party or need something secure on concrete for a long-term installation, there’s a style that’s right for you.

  • Pole Tents: Known for their classic high peaks, pole tents create a timeless look. The center poles can affect layout, and they do require staking into the ground, so they’re best for grassy areas.
  • Frame Tents: With no center poles, frame tents give you a wide open interior that’s flexible for any layout. They can be secured with tent stakes or a ballasting system, making them great for hard surfaces like asphalt or concrete. With proper care, they can stay up for 6–8 months at a time.
  • Clear Tents: A metal frame style tent with a clear top that lets in natural light and creates a beautiful atmosphere. These tents also trap heat, which makes them especially cozy for evening or cool-weather events.
  • Keder Tents: A premium frame tent with a built-in track system that makes installation easier and gives a crisp, polished look. The fabric can be removed without taking down the frame, making it the best choice for long-term use or in areas with changing weather.

Accessories for Your 30x40 Tent Rental

A tent provides the shelter or shade, but it’s the accessories that make it functional, comfortable, and beautiful. From setup tools that make installation easier to décor that sets the tone, the right add-ons turn a simple tent into the perfect event space. 

Here are some essentials you won’t want to forget:

  • Sidewalls: Add privacy, block the wind, and keep your guests protected from the elements.
  • Tent Ballasting System: If you’re setting up on asphalt, concrete, or another surface where staking isn’t possible, use a ballasting system or cement weights for safe anchoring.
  • Lighting: Create the right atmosphere with options like spotlights, elegant chandeliers, or classic string lights.
  • Flooring: Keep guests comfortable and safe with flooring that prevents tripping hazards and provides a polished finish.
  • Furniture: Make sure you have enough seating and tables, such as white folding chairs and sturdy banquet tables, to accommodate your guests.
  • Heating or Cooling: Depending on the season, keep your tent climate-controlled with heaters for chilly nights or fans/AC for hot summer days.
  • Décor: Add finishing touches with draping on tent legs, signage, centerpieces, or custom accents to bring your event vision to life.

The right accessories ensure your 30x40 tent isn’t just a shelter, but a welcoming space where guests feel comfortable and your event feels complete.

Opt for the Top 30x40 Tent

If you’re planning a one-day celebration like a wedding, graduation, or milestone party, planning to rent a tent makes things simple. The rental company takes care of setup and takedown so you can focus on your guests, and when the party’s over, you don’t have to worry about storing the tent.

But if you find yourself hosting events often, buying your own tent can be a game-changer. Rental costs add up quickly, and after about five uses, owning usually makes more sense. Whether you’re a wedding venue, a restaurant with an outdoor dining patio, or a business that needs a reliable space for corporate events, having your own tent gives you flexibility and peace of mind.

Here’s why many people choose to buy:

Save money after 5–7 events instead of paying rental fees over and over

Always have a tent ready when you need it — no waiting on availability

Make it your own with custom tent size, fabric colors, or even your logo on the tent top

Invest in a tent built to last with commercial-grade materials
