40x40 Tent
Our 40x40 tents are manufactured to provide 1,600 square feet of expansive, high-volume coverage. This square footprint is manufactured specifically for mid-sized outdoor weddings and corporate VIP lounges 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 40x40 Event Tent
The 40x40 tent is a flagship structure in the event rental industry, offering a perfectly square 1,600 square feet of interior space. This structure is manufactured for professionals who require a grand presence and high eave heights without the sprawling footprint of a linear tent. Whether utilized for an elite outdoor wedding, a corporate gala, or a high-end automotive display, the 40x40 is manufactured to provide a robust, waterproof environment that stands up to frequent commercial deployment and heavy wind loads.
One of the primary advantages of the 40-wide series is the increased interior volume. Because these tents are manufactured with reinforced 4-inch or 5-inch aluminum extrusions, they support higher peaks and steeper pitches, which naturally sheds heavy rain and provides a more dramatic "cathedral" feel inside. This makes the 40x40 the preferred choice for events where interior lighting, drapery, and AV equipment are essential components of the production.

Technical Specifications & Build Quality
Every 40x40 tent in our collection is manufactured with longevity in mind. The tops are constructed from 16 oz. blockout vinyl, which is not only 100% waterproof but also contains UV stabilizers and flame-retardant chemicals that meet the strictest North American fire codes. The frame components are manufactured from 6061-T6 structural-grade aluminum, ensuring the skeleton of the tent remains rust-free and structurally sound for years of repeat setups.
Frequently Asked Questions: 40x40 Commercial Tents
How many people does it take to set up a 40x40 tent?
For a 40x40 structure, we recommend a crew of 4 to 6 experienced people. Because this tent is manufactured with heavy-duty 40-wide aluminum rafters and thick vinyl, mechanical assistance—such as tent jacks—is highly recommended to safely lift the frame once the fabric is attached.
How many tables fit in a 40x40 tent?
Typically, a 40x40 tent accommodates 12 to 15 standard 60-inch round tables. This layout provides comfortable seating for roughly 120 guests while maintaining adequate space for a bar area, a small dance floor, and waitstaff aisles.
Is a 40x40 tent suitable for weddings?
Yes. The 40x40 is manufactured to provide a high-peak atmosphere that is ideal for wedding receptions of 100-130 guests. It offers a premium architectural feel that smaller 20-wide or 30-wide tents simply cannot replicate, especially when paired with cathedral window sidewalls.
What is the difference between a frame and a pole 40x40?
A 40x40 frame tent is manufactured with a self-supporting aluminum skeleton, leaving the interior 100% open with no center poles. A 40x40 pole tent is manufactured to be tension-supported by one or more center poles, which creates a higher peak but requires staking into the ground.
Can I add sidewalls to a 40x40 tent?
Absolutely. Every 40x40 we manufacture includes a built-in sidewall rope. You can install solid white, clear, or cathedral window walls to fully enclose the 1,600 square feet of space for climate control or privacy.
How do I anchor a 40x40 tent on concrete?
If you are using a 40x40 frame tent, it can be anchored on concrete using heavy-duty expansion bolts or weighted ballast systems (such as concrete blocks or water barrels). Because this size has a large wind-catch area, it is manufactured to require significant weight for safe operation on hard surfaces.
