Frequently Asked Questions: 40x40 Commercial Tents

Do 40-wide tents require a professional crew for installation? Yes. Due to the weight of the reinforced rafters and the sheer volume of vinyl, these structures are manufactured to be installed by experienced teams with proper safety equipment and mechanical aids like tent jacks.

Are these tents "Clear Span" or do they have center poles? We offer both configurations. Our 40-wide frame tents are manufactured to be clear span (unobstructed interior), while our tension pole tents are manufactured with center poles for that classic high-peak silhouette.

How many guests can a 40-wide tent accommodate? Capacity scales by length. A 40x40 is manufactured to seat approximately 120–160 guests, while a 40x100 can accommodate up to 400 guests for banquet seating and over 800 for theater-style arrangements.

Is the vinyl top flame retardant and weather resistant? Absolutely. Every 40-wide tent we manufacture uses 16 oz. blockout vinyl that is 100% waterproof and certified to meet NFPA 701, California State Fire Marshal, and CAN/ULC-S109 standards.

Can these tents be left up long-term? Our 40-wide series is manufactured with commercial-grade materials suitable for extended use. However, for semi-permanent installations, we recommend regular inspections of the tensioning and anchoring systems.
