A 20×30 tent rental gives you 600 sq ft of covered space, enough to seat 48 to 60 guests at tables. It’s a white frame tent with a 7 ft side height and a 12 ft center height, and it starts at $649. Whether you call it a 30×20 tent rental or a 20 by 30 tent rental, it’s the same tent: 20 feet wide and 30 feet long, set up on grass, a driveway or a patio.
We deliver the 20×30 frame tent across Woodbridge Township, NJ, ZIP code 07095, including Iselin, Avenel, Colonia, Fords, Sewaren and Port Reading. On a driveway or parking lot, the tent can be weighted instead of staked. Check with Woodbridge Township about a tent permit.
How Much Does It Cost to Rent a 20×30 Tent?
A 20 x 30 tent rental starts at $649 per event. The 20×30 tent rental cost goes up with the walls, lights and weights you add, plus delivery to your address. These three setups show how the 20×30 tent rental price changes:

- Round tables of eight: about 6 to 7 rounds, seating 48 to 56
- 8 ft banquet tables: about 6 to 7 tables, seating up to about 56

20×30 Event Tent for Parties, Weddings and More
A 20 x 30 party tent rental is long enough to put the food at one end and tables at the other, so it works for a lot more than birthdays. Here are some of the events a 20×30 party tent rental fits:
- Family celebrations: graduations, birthdays, anniversaries, reunions, quinceaรฑeras, sweet sixteens, and bar and bat mitzvahs
- Weddings and receptions: a 20×30 wedding tent fits a small backyard wedding or a rehearsal dinner
- Community events: school events, fundraisers, charity events, fairs, festivals and sports tournaments
- Business events: corporate parties, seminars, meetings, trade shows and galas
- Evening events: outdoor screenings, performances and holiday parties, with lights and a heater added
- Memorials: a covered space for a celebration of life or a memorial gathering
20×30 Frame Tent vs Canopy and Pole Tents
If you’ve been searching for a 20×30 canopy tent rental or a 20×30 canopy rental, this is the frame-style version. The 20×30 tent frame holds the roof up from the edges, so there are no tall center poles in the middle of the floor. That leaves the full 600 sq ft open for tables, a dance floor or a buffet line.
All frame tents must be secured, either staked into the ground or held down with weights. On grass we stake it. On a driveway, patio or parking lot, we use weights with block covers ($252), so let us know when you book if your tent can’t be staked.
20 x 30 Frame Tent Details
| Detail | Frame tent 20×30 |
|---|---|
| Footprint | 20 ft x 30 ft (600 sq ft) |
| Side height | 7 ft |
| Center height | 12 ft |
| Top | White |
| Seated guests | 48 to 60 |
| Standing guests | Up to about 120 |
| Grass setup | Staked |
| Driveway or patio setup | Weights with block covers ($252) |
| Starting price | $649 |
The white top keeps off sun and light rain, but no tent is a shelter in a thunderstorm or high wind, so have a plan to move inside if the weather turns. On lawns, call 811 before setup day to mark utility lines, and check whether your town asks for a tent permit.
20×30 Compared With Other Frame Tent Sizes
The 20×30 seats more guests than our 14×28 or 16×24 frame tents and still costs less than either one. If a tent rental 20×30 in size feels tight, the 20×40 frame tent adds about 20 seats for $100 more. For a smaller crowd, the 20×20 frame tent starts at $549.
| Size | Area | Seated guests | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20×20 | 400 sq ft | 32 to 40 | $549 |
