Visualizing Before You Rent
Our 20×20 can host forty diners seated or up to fifty attendees for presentations, though floor plans with buffets reduce that capacity, while a 30×60 model (1 800 sq ft) accommodates about 150 seated diners or up to 120 with a dance floor, and grand 40×80 pavilions (3 200 sq ft) exceed 200 guests with room for aisles, bars, and lounge sections, plus our digital floor plans let you map every table, stage, and station for flawless event execution.
Plan for Extras Early
Drapes, HVAC units, and barrel anchors add style and stability yet increase needed buffer zones, our consultants integrate every accessory into your size estimate to secure airflow, comfort, and code compliance. Whether you choose turf, mats, or raised platforms, each choice impacts the tent’s staking plan, allowing you to refine your canopy configuration well before event day.
One Size Never Fits All
Backyard showers and birthday bashes in Milpitas thrive under 10×20 or 15×30 frames, while grand receptions and corporate galas shine under 30×60 or 40×80 frame structures, featuring side curtains, hardwood floors, and lighting rigs. Brand activations and product reveals gravitate toward 30×60 gable tents with staging decks, whereas school carnivals lean on modular pop-ups and high-peak demos.
