Tent Size Guide
Tent Size Calculator​
Tent calculators are an indispensable tool for anyone organizing an outdoor event. The size of tent you need depends on your number of guests, the type of tent you need, and the layout of your event space. A tiny tent will make your visitors feel crowded, while a large tent will make your event feel empty and uninspired. Extra rental items like cocktail tables, bars, and dance floors will require additional space.
