Frame Tent 50’x50′ Rental
From: $3,750.00
Gable tents are a stylish and functional option for weddings, galas, corporate events, and private celebrations. Featuring a classic peaked roof design, they provide excellent rain runoff, ventilation, and open interior space. With a frame height of 8 ft and a center height of 18 ft, gable tents offer plenty of clearance for guests, décor, and lighting.
2500 sq ft – Seats 200 – 250
Fifty feet on every side gives the 50×50 tent 2,500 sq ft of open floor and room for 200 to 250 seated guests. It’s a gable style frame tent with a white peaked roof, 8 ft sides and an 18 ft center, and no poles in the middle. It can be staked into grass or held down with weights on pavement. The 50×50 tent rental starts at $3,750.

A Gable Roof Over a Square Floor
The 50 by 50 tent has a gable roof, which means it rises from the sides to a peak in the middle. The pitch lets rain run off instead of pooling, and the height in the center gives warm air room to rise. Because a frame holds the roof up, the whole square floor stays open.
A square floor plan does something a long tent can’t: it puts the center of the room at the same distance from every wall. That makes it a good fit for events built around one focal point.
Layouts for a 50 x 50 Tent
- Dance floor in the middle: tables on all four sides, so every guest has a view of the first dance.
- Stage on one wall: rows of seats or round tables facing it for a presentation, awards night or fundraiser.
- Food stations around the edge: buffets and bars along the walls with high tops in the center for a cocktail-style party.
- Half and half: ceremony seating on one side, then guests move to tables on the other side for dinner.
A dance floor, bar or buffet takes up seats, so plan for fewer than 250 when you add them. Test your floor plan with the tent calculator.

50×50 Tent With Side Walls
Sidewalls turn the open tent into a closed room. White sidewalls ($800) block wind and give privacy. Cathedral window sidewalls ($1,000) do the same but keep a view out through arched windows, which suits a wedding or gala. In cooler months, pair either one with heaters ($1,185). On a warm day, leave the walls off and add fans.
Is a 50×50 Canopy the Same as a 50×50 Tent?
People search for a 50×50 canopy and a 50×50 tent for the same thing: a big white cover for an outdoor event. What we rent is a frame tent. Unlike a pop-up canopy, it’s installed by our crew, staked or weighted, and can take sidewalls, a liner and lighting.
Need a Tent Rental for 50 People?
A 50×50 is sized for 200 to 250 guests, so it’s much more than a tent rental for 50 people needs. For a 50 person tent rental, the 20×30 frame tent seats 48 to 60 and starts at $649.
Other Frame Sizes to Compare
| Frame tent | Floor area | Seated guests | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40×40 | 1,600 sq ft | 128 to 160 | $2,000 |
| 40×60 | 2,400 sq ft | 192 to 240 | $3,000 |
| 50×50 | 2,500 sq ft | 200 to 250 | $3,750 |
| 50×60 | 3,000 sq ft | 240 to 300 | $4,500 |

| 40×80 | 3,200 sq ft | 256 to 320 | $4,000 |
For a smaller square, the 40×40 frame tent seats 128 to 160. For a much bigger crowd, the 50×100 frame tent seats 400 to 500.
