The Ultimate Guide to the 30x50 Commercial Tent
When your event requires serious capacity with a wide footprint that supports efficient layouts, the 30x50 tent delivers.

Manufactured for Maximum Durability
At GetTent.com, we understand that a 1,500-square-foot structure must perform through repeated installations and changing weather conditions. That is why every 30x50 tent we offer is manufactured using 16 oz. blockout vinyl. This isn’t simply about thickness — it’s about long-term performance.
- UV Resistance: Our vinyl is manufactured to block 100% of sunlight, helping maintain a cooler interior environment.
- Flame Retardancy: All fabric is manufactured to meet and exceed NFPA 701 standards.
- Waterproof Seams: Heat-sealed seams prevent moisture intrusion, even during sustained rainfall.
Choosing Your Style: Frame vs. Pole
Understanding the difference between our two primary manufactured styles ensures you select the right configuration for your specific application.
1. 30x50 High Peak Frame Tents
The 30x50 frame tent is manufactured with a rigid aluminum skeleton, eliminating center poles and delivering 1,500 square feet of unobstructed interior space. The 30-foot width supports centered dance floors, structured seating layouts, staging areas, and more efficient circulation paths for guests and staff.
2. 30x50 Classic Pole Tents
For customers who prefer the traditional swooping canopy profile, the 30x50 pole tent is manufactured as a tension-driven structure supported by center poles and perimeter stakes. It provides a timeless aesthetic ideal for weddings and larger grassy venues.
