When we size a tent for you we take a few things into consideration. First the ground surface and whether or not we can use tent stakes to secure the tent. That, along with a few other factors determines if you need a frame tent or a pole tent. A frame tent is a free standing structure made of heavy duty aluminum for its support. Frames do not rely on support (tension) lines or center poles. This allows us to tent areas that are tight on space or that can not be staked. Pole tents get their structure from guy lines, stakes and center poles. Often a combination of the two at most functions allows us to tent all necessary areas for a seamless flow. Sizing is primarily based on the number of guests and the space required per square foot. Below is a guide for general sizing.
