40' x 260' Classic Series Frame Tent

The 40' x 260' Classic Series Frame Tent is an expansive, industrial-grade shelter solution designed for the most demanding high-capacity requirements in the event industry. As one of the largest standard configurations in the "West Coast Style" frame category, this massive 10,400-square-foot structure is the premier choice for regional festivals, long-term corporate installations, and grand-scale event setups. Built with a rigid, free-standing framework, it offers a completely open interior floor plan, making it an essential asset for rental companies that need to provide maximum clear-span space without the obstruction of center poles.

The 40-foot wide "Classic" design is engineered for maximum stability and modularity. This structure is typically assembled using 2-inch diameter anodized aluminum tubing, providing the perfect balance of industrial-strength durability and manageable weight for professional crews during tent installation. The fabric components are crafted from high-quality, flame-retardant 16 oz. blockout vinyl, ensuring safety compliance and superior weather resistance. Beyond its immense footprint, the system is designed for long-term maintenance efficiency, featuring interchangeable parts that simplify inventory management for high-volume rental fleets.
