Events That Call for 800 Square Feet of Covered Space

The 20' x 40' tent is the right scale for events where a single 20' x 20' feels tight and a full hexagon tent is more than you need — the practical, professional choice for mid-to-large gatherings.

💍
Wedding Receptions
Enough space to seat guests at round tables for a formal reception dinner while still leaving room for a dance floor, bar station, or buffet line within the same covered footprint.
🎓
Graduation Parties
Cover the full guest list for a graduation party without sending anyone to stand in the sun. The 20' x 40' accommodates extended family, friends, and a proper buffet setup comfortably.
🏢
Corporate Events
Professional enough for client-facing corporate events and practical enough for employee appreciation days, team gatherings, and outdoor conferences that need structured covered space.
Church & Community Events
A reliable covered structure for church picnics, fundraisers, and community festivals. Large enough to handle a full crowd and modular enough to expand with additional units if attendance grows.

Setup, Installation & Important Details

20' x 40' high-peak frame design — 800 sq ft of covered space at 12-foot center height, delivering the same elevated, professional aesthetic as our 20' x 20' in a larger footprint.
Setup area required: 22' x 42' — a small buffer around all sides for proper staking and installation. Ensure the area is clear of overhead obstructions within the full setup zone.
Grass or concrete installation — standard staked installation on grass is included. Concrete block installation for hard surfaces is available with an additional charge.
Professional installation and takedown included — full crew setup and breakdown with no hidden charges for installation or takedown service.
Expandable layout — additional 20' x 20' units can be connected to extend the covered area to 20' x 60', 20' x 80', or beyond for larger events.

⚠️ Missouri Dig Rite Requirement

Grass installations require underground utilities to be located before stakes are driven. Contact Dig Rite by calling 811 at least 3 business days before your event. This is a Missouri state legal requirement for any staked installation and is the responsibility of the property owner or event organizer.

🧱 Concrete or Hard Surface Installation

Events on concrete, asphalt, or other hard surfaces can be accommodated using weighted concrete blocks instead of ground stakes. An additional charge applies. Contact us when booking to confirm your venue surface and receive an accurate quote for your installation.
