Choosing the Right Outdoor Tent

The right tent can make or break an outdoor event. In this guide, we walk through the key factors:

1. Capacity

Estimate 1.2 to 1.5 square meters per standing guest.

2. Weather

Check wind-load ratings and waterproofing standards.

3. Setup time

Aluminum frame structures typically install in 4-8 hours for a 30x40m tent.
