What to Measure Before You Book
Seating style tent accessories San Jose drives footprint: 60″ rounds require larger canopies than straight-row chairs, while dance floors, stages, and buffet stations demand open zones for circulation, and obstacles—trees, slopes, and hardscape—dictate orientation and anchoring zones, iCelebrate Event Rentals provides detailed layout diagrams that factor in every element for seamless planning.
Styles to Suit Any Vibe

Visualizing Before You Rent

Add-Ons That Influence Dimensions
Drapes, HVAC units, and barrel anchors add style and stability yet increase needed buffer zones, helping you factor in lighting rigs, staging, and flooring to avoid last-minute reconfigurations. Whether you choose turf, mats, or raised platforms, each choice impacts the tent’s staking plan, allowing you to refine your canopy configuration well before event day.
One Size Never Fits All
Cozy celebrations fit perfectly under 10×20 or 15×30 pop-ups, while grand receptions and corporate galas shine under 30×60 or 40×80 frame structures, complete with draping, sidewalls, and flooring.
