15x20 Tent
Our 15x20 tents are manufactured to provide 300 square feet of expansive, high-volume coverage. This rectangular footprint is manufactured specifically for mid-sized outdoor gatherings and professional catering setups requiring significant vertical clearance. Built with 16 oz. blockout vinyl, these heavy-duty event tents offer superior weather protection and 100% UV protection for professional commercial use.
The Professional Guide to the 15x20 Commercial Frame Tent
The 15x20 tent is a versatile commercial structure providing a reliable 300 square feet of interior space. This model is manufactured for high-frequency use and professional aesthetics. From serving as a roadside produce stand to acting as a sheltered buffet area for an outdoor wedding, the 15x20 is manufactured to provide a robust, waterproof environment that maintains its structural integrity through years of deployment.
When engineering at this scale, the 15-foot width is the primary advantage. Every 15x20 we manufacture features a reinforced aluminum frame system designed to fit where standard 20-wide tents cannot. This creates a professional architectural profile that fits into narrow side yards while providing the necessary clearance for lighting, signage, and interior cooling fans.

Technical Specifications & Build Quality
Durability and professional-grade materials define our 15x20 structures. The tent tops are manufactured from 16 oz. blockout vinyl, ensuring guests remain cool by blocking 100% of direct sunlight. The vinyl is manufactured with heat-welded seams for a completely waterproof seal and is treated for flame retardancy according to NFPA 701 and California State Fire Marshal standards. The framework is manufactured from high-grade structural aluminum, providing a rust-free, long-lasting skeleton for repeat commercial deployment.
