I purchased this tent (as well as a 20x40) for my tent rental business. A little pricey, but definitely worth it because of the quality. I plan to keep ordering tents from American Tent and would recommend them. Thanks.

I was a bit nervous about buying a tent as opposed to renting, as it’s a relatively big investment for me. I have to say, I’m so glad I went with American Tent. It came very quickly and the tent looks amazing, and seems like it will last for years. Very happy with my purchase.

Shannon S.,

Great customer service. Responsive and knowledgeable. I look forward to doing more business with them.
