At 120 feet long and 40 feet wide, the 40×120 tent is three times as long as it is wide. It covers 4,800 sq ft and seats 384 to 480 guests, with 8 ft sides, an 18 ft center and no poles anywhere on the floor. The white top can be staked into grass or weighted on pavement. The 40×120 frame tent starts at $6,000.

What 120 Feet of Length Lets You Do
A tent this long works like a hall. Guests walk in at one end and the event unfolds down its length. Because a frame holds the roof up from the edges, there are no poles to block sightlines from one end to the other, so a stage at the far end is visible from every table.
- Weddings: ceremony seating at one end, dinner tables in the middle and a dance floor at the other end, all under one roof.
- Corporate events: registration and exhibits up front, a seated program in the middle and a stage at the back.
- Galas and fundraisers: a silent auction along one wall, a long run of dinner tables and a band at the end.
- Community events and festivals: vendor tables down both sides with a walkway in the middle.
A dance floor, stage or buffet takes up seats, so plan for fewer than 480 when you add them. Work out your floor plan with the tent calculator.

Lighting a Long Tent
Over 120 feet, light has to reach both ends. Crisscross bistro lights ($1,350) zigzag across the ceiling for the full length, and perimeter bistro lights ($630) or cafe black string lights ($595) trace the edges. Globe lights ($384) add a softer look over dinner tables. For a wedding, pair the crisscross lights with the liner to hide the frame overhead.
Staked or Weighted
All frame tents must be staked into the ground or held down with weights. On a lawn or field, the 40×120 frame is staked. On a parking lot, driveway or other paved area, choose weights ($2,016). Call 811 before setup to have underground lines marked if the tent will be staked.
Looking for a 40×70 Tent?
We don’t list a 40×70 tent on our site. If you searched for a 40×70 tent, the closest sizes we rent are the 40×60 frame tent (192 to 240 seats) and the 40×80 frame tent (256 to 320 seats). The 50×70 frame tent is another option if your space is wider.
| Frame tent | Floor area | Seated guests | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40×60 | 2,400 sq ft | 192 to 240 | $3,000 |
| 50×70 | 3,500 sq ft | 280 to 350 | $5,250 |
| 40×80 | 3,200 sq ft | 256 to 320 | $4,000 |
| 40×100 | 4,000 sq ft | 320 to 400 | $5,000 |
| 40×120 | 4,800 sq ft | 384 to 480 | $6,000 |
If 120 ft is more than your space allows, the 40×100 frame tent seats 320 to 400.
40×120 Frame or 44×124 Sailcloth?
Both seat 384 to 480 guests. The difference is the look and the ground:
| Compare | 40×120 frame tent | 44×124 sailcloth tent |
|---|---|---|
| Top | White frame top | Translucent sailcloth, rounded ends |
| Surface | Grass or pavement | Grass only |
| Starting price | $6,000 | $6,975 |
For pavement or a lower price, the frame tent is the one. For a softer look on a big lawn, see the 44×124 sailcloth tent.
