Twenty feet wide and fifty feet long, the 20×50 frame tent is built for spaces that are long but not wide. It covers 1,000 sq ft, with 7 ft sides and a 12 ft center, and there are no poles in the middle of the floor. That’s room for 80 to 100 seated guests. You can stake it on grass or hold it down with weights on pavement. Rental starts at $1,395.
Where a 20 x 50 Tent Fits
Our other tents near this size, like the 30×30 and 30×40, are closer to square. This one is two and a half times longer than it is wide, so it can go where a square tent can’t:
- A long backyard where the lawn runs back from the house.
- A driveway or the strip of pavement beside a house, with weights.
- Along a building, like the side of a church, school or business.
- A parking lot row for a sale, a vendor line or a food service area.
You need a flat area of at least 20 by 50 feet. For a backyard party tent rental where the yard is narrow, this is the shape to look at. Test your layout with the tent calculator.

Questions About the 20×50 Tent
Is a 50 x 20 tent the same as a 20 x 50 tent?
Yes. It’s the same tent, 20 ft wide and 50 ft long.
How much does it cost to rent a tent for 50 people?
For 50 seated guests, the 20×30 frame tent (48 to 60 seats) starts at $649. The 20×50 is the size for 80 to 100 seated guests, or 50 guests with plenty of extra room for food, a bar and a dance floor.
Is a 20×50 canopy the same thing?
People use both names. This is a 20×50 frame tent with a white top, not a pop-up canopy, and our crew sets it up and takes it down.
Do you have a 20×50 tent for sale?
No. We only rent, so there’s no 20×50 tent for sale. Every 20 x 50 tent rental includes setup and pickup.
