Common Questions About Tent Rentals
-
In Massachusetts, whether you need a permit for a tent depends on the size of the tent and the location of your event. For smaller tents, typically under 400 square feet, a permit might not be necessary. However, for larger tents or if you're setting up in a public area, a permit is likely required. It's always best to check with your local city or town's building department to ensure compliance with regulations. Additionally, factors such as fire safety and zoning laws may influence the need for a permit.
-
For a seated dinner event with 30 guests, a 20x20 High Peak Frame Tent is usually sufficient. This size allows for a comfortable arrangement of round tables and chairs while leaving enough space for guests to move around. If you're planning a cocktail-style event or need extra room for other amenities, consider upsizing to a 20x30 West Coast Frame Tent. This will provide more space for mingling and additional furniture like a bar or buffet table.
-
A tent that accommodates 50 people comfortably for a seated event is typically a 20x40 High Peak Pole Tent in size. This tent size is ideal for various setups, including rectangular or round tables, allowing guests to have ample space. It also offers flexibility if you want to include a dance floor or additional features like a stage for a small band or DJ setup.
-
A 20x20 High Peak Frame Tent can comfortably seat around 32 guests using standard 5-foot round tables, which typically seat 8 people per table. If you use rectangular banquet tables, you might be able to seat up to 40 guests. This size is perfect for smaller, intimate gatherings such as family reunions or backyard parties.
-
For a seated event with 100 guests, a 30x60 Keder Frame Tent is the most suitable choice. If you’re planning a standing cocktail-style event, you might be able to go with a slightly smaller tent, such as a 30x40 High Peak Pole Tent, depending on the layout and additional features you plan to include. Always consider the type of event and whether you need space for extras like a dance floor, bar, or buffet.

A 10x30 West Coast Frame Tent is more suitable for smaller, intimate events. It can seat around 30 to 35 guests using 5-foot round tables.
