Plan for Extras Early
Sidewalls, liners, and chandeliers enhance ambiance but require extra clearance around tent perimeters, ensuring heaters, fans, and drapes align with local fire codes and vendor permits. Whether you choose turf, mats, or raised platforms, each choice impacts the tent’s staking plan, so locking in add-ons early delivers seamless integration and prevents overspend.
Pick by Occasion
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, complete with draping, sidewalls, and flooring. Corporate launches and nonprofit fundraisers favor 30-ft gables for structured presentation zones, whereas PTA fairs rely on versatile pop-ups and peak shelters.
