How to Size a Tent for a NJ Graduation Party: A Quick Guide

Planning a graduation party in North Jersey usually involves a bit of "backyard tetris." You want enough shade for Grandma, but enough room for the kids to run around. At Xunbo Rentals, we specialize in high-quality pop-up tents that fit perfectly in suburban layouts.

Here is how to calculate exactly what you need:

The Quick Capacity Cheat Sheet

Tent Size        Standing (Cocktail)            Seated (Tables & Chairs)

10 x 10                     16-20 Guests                         12-16 Guests

10 x 20                     32-40 Guests                        24-32 Guests

20 x 20                    64-70 Guests                        48-64 Guests

Factors to Consider:

1. The "Buffet Factor": If you are putting your food under the tent, subtract 1 table's worth of seating space (about 8 people).

2. The NJ Terrain: North Jersey yards aren't always flat! Our pop-up tents are versatile, but we recommend a 2-foot "buffer zone" around the tent for safe anchoring.

3. Flow of Traffic: Don't cram the tables! Leave at least 3 feet between the edge of a table and the tent wall so guests can pull out their chairs comfortably.
