The first step to finding your ideal tent is deciding how many guests you want to seat and which table option you prefer.
Table Options: We offer both 5′ round and 8′ rectangle tables.
Round tables create a more intimate atmosphere but require more space, meaning fewer guests fit under the same size tent.
Rectangle tables are more space-efficient, allowing you to seat more people in a given tent size.
Seating Capacity: Whichever style you choose, plan for 8 seated guests per table.
Quick Seating Examples:
20×20 frame tent
→ Seats 40 guests with 5′ rounds
→ Seats 48 guests with 8′ rectangles
20×40 frame tent
→ Seats 64 guests with 5′ rounds
→ Seats 96 guests with 8′ rectangles
Only need to rent tables and/or chairs? Perfect, we offer delivery or customer order pickup from North Sartell.
Use 10 sq ft per seated guest as a general rule.
Example: 40 seated guests × 10 = 400 sq ft
→ A 20×20 tent is a great fit and one of our most popular for backyard events.
Before choosing a tent, ask yourself:
-Where will the tent go?-
Front yard, backyard, or side of the house?
Front yards often have more visibility and provides easier access for guests. If set up on driveway, then you can use a frame tent as an extension of your garage.
Backyard installs are the most common and may offer more privacy but can have access or space challenges.
Side yards are often tighter and may only fit smaller tents (like 10×20 or 20×20).
-What surface is it going on — grass, gravel, concrete, or asphalt?-
This will help determine which tent is best. Pole tents require grass or soft ground for staking.
Frame tents can go on hard surfaces – like concrete, asphalt, or gravel.
-Is the area flat enough to comfortably seat guests?-
Are there any obstructions like trees, fences, decks, landscaping or overhead wires?
Is there enough open space for the tent size plus extra clearance around it for setup?
💡Not sure about the space?
We’re happy to help measure or swing by to take a look.
We offer pole (canopy) and frame tents. Frame tents are the most popular option since they offer the most usable space and can be installed on nearly any surface. Here are some of the key differences between the two tent options.
A pole tent has 7′ leg poles around the tent perimeter and one or more internal center tent poles which assist in load-bearing. Pole tents must be secured with stakes and straps.
20×20, 20×40, 30×30, 30×45, 30×60, 40×40, 40×60, 40×80, 40×100, 50×40, 50×60, 50×80
An aluminum frame is the support structure along with 8′ leg poles along the perimeter. Frame tents must be secured with straps and stakes or weights* for safe anchoring.
10×20*, 20×20*, 20×40, 20×60, 20×80, 40×40
(*weighted anchoring available)

Choose a Frame Tent if you’re setting up near a garage or on any hard surface, like concrete or asphalt, or want a completely open floor plan.

Need a tent “only if it rains”?
We operate on a first-come, first-served basis, so once we’re fully booked, it’s gone.
If you want to guarantee a tent is available, you’ll need to place a 50% retainer to reserve it.
If you wait until rain is in the forecast, there’s a good chance we won’t have tents available.
Make sure the venue or setup location is ready before we arrive:
Private Utilities: You are responsible for locating and marking all private lines (sprinklers, landscape lighting, septic, etc.).
Public Utilities: We call in public utility locates (gas, electric, etc.).
Access: We need wide, clear paths for delivery and equipment — remove parked cars, unlock gates, etc.
Grass: Mow the area before setup, if possible.
Surface Conditions: Tent installation area must be flat and clear, no overhanging branches or obstacles.
Tent Location: Let us know where the tent is going.
We bring everything to the event site and set up the tent, typically 1–2 days before your event starts.
Note: We don’t set up tables and chairs, but will unload them wherever specified.
If your order includes a tent, we’ll return after your event to pick up all rental items.
If you picked up your order, you’re responsible for returning all items to us in a timely manner.
We offer lighting and 20′ tent walls in two styles.
Window walls – let in natural light while still offering protection from wind and rain.
