Visualizing Before You Rent

Plan for Extras Early
Sidewalls, liners, and chandeliers enhance ambiance but require extra clearance around tent perimeters, helping you factor in lighting rigs, staging, and flooring to avoid last-minute reconfigurations. Flooring options—from hardwood dance floors to carpeting—alter load distribution and edge anchoring needs, allowing you to refine your canopy configuration well before event day.
One Size Never Fits All
Cozy celebrations fit perfectly under 10×20 or 15×30 pop-ups, while fancy ceremonies and large fundraisers demand 30×60 or 40×80 couture tents, complete with draping, sidewalls, and flooring.
