Not every event needs a big tent. Sometimes you just need shade over the cake table, cover for the DJ, or a dry spot for the bar while everything else happens on the lawn. That’s where a 10×10 tent rental fits. It covers 100 sq ft, seats 8 to 10 people, and starts at $300, with setup and pickup handled by our crew.
We set up the 10×10 frame tent throughout Newark, NJ and nearby Harrison, Kearny, Belleville and East Orange. It fits a small yard, a patio, a sidewalk event or a parking area, weighted on pavement. Check with the City of Newark about permits, especially for events on public property.
Where a 10×10 Tent Earns Its Spot
A 10 x 10 frame tent is small enough to fit almost anywhere and big enough to cover one job well. Common ways to use it:
- Food or bar station next to a larger tent, so lines don’t crowd the dining area
- DJ or band cover to keep equipment out of the sun and light rain
- Check-in or gift table at a wedding, graduation or school event
- Small backyard gathering on a patio or deck, as a 10 person tent rental for a family dinner
- Shade for older guests or a kids’ area at an outdoor party
If you’re already renting a large tent, like our 40×40 frame tent, a 10×10 next to it is an easy way to move the bar or buffet outside the main space.
How Much Does It Cost to Rent a 10×10 Tent?
The tent itself is $300. The 10×10 tent rental price goes up with the extras you add and with delivery, which is quoted by your address. Here’s what a few setups come to before delivery and tax:
| If you need | Add | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Shade on grass | Nothing, the tent is staked | $300 |
| Evening light | Perimeter bistro lights ($90) | $390 |
| A spot on a driveway or patio | Weights with block cover ($162) | $462 |
| A cool evening | Heater ($395) | $695 |
All 10×10 add-ons
| Add-on | Price |
|---|---|
| White sidewall, 20 ft section, 7 ft high | $120 |
| Cathedral window sidewall, 20 ft section, 7 ft high | $160 |
| 8 ft white pole skirts | $120 |
| 6" globe lights | $48 |
| Bistro light white stringer, crisscross | $135 |
| Bistro light white stringer, perimeter | $90 |
| Cafe black string lights, perimeter | $85 |
| Heater | $395 |
| Versa Cool tent fan | $75 |
| Weights with block cover | $162 |
So if you’re wondering how much to rent a 10×10 tent on pavement, plan on the tent plus weights, since weights cost about half as much as the tent itself.
10×10 Tent Rental in Newark
Small tents suit Newark properties where space is tight, like townhouse patios, smaller backyards and driveways where a bigger tent won’t fit. Because this tent can be held down with weights, it works on pavement as well as grass.

Frame Tent, Canopy or Pop-Up?
Whether you call it a 10 by 10 tent rental, a 10×10 canopy rental, a 10 x 10 canopy rental or a 10×10 canopy tent rental, the word canopy usually means a small pop-up shade. This is a frame tent 10×10 instead. It has a 7 ft side height and a 9.5 ft center height, a white top, and it’s staked or weighted by our crew, so it’s steadier than a pop-up you set up yourself.
It also isn’t a 10×10 pole tent. There are no poles in the middle, so the whole 100 sq ft is usable for a table, a bar or a DJ booth.
When to Size Up
A 10×10 covers one table or station. If you need room for guests to sit, the next sizes up add space quickly. The 10×20 frame tent seats 16 to 20, and the 20×20 frame tent seats 32 to 40 for $549.
| Size | Area | Seated guests | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10×10 | 100 sq ft | 8 to 10 | $300 |
| 10×20 | 200 sq ft | 16 to 20 | $500 |
| 12×12 | 144 sq ft | 20 | $475 |
| 14×14 | 196 sq ft | 24 | $525 |
| 10×30 | 300 sq ft | 24 to 30 | $700 |
| 20×20 | 400 sq ft | 32 to 40 | $549 |
All of our tent rentals, from 10×10 to 50×120, are in our frame tent rentals.
