What's the same at every size
- Frame: 40 mm hex aluminum.
- Canopy: 600D polyester, printed full-color by dye sublimation.
- Design: included. A Packeze designer creates your layout and you approve a proof.
- Anchoring: ground spikes and ropes are free with every tent; use sandbags on hard ground. The Lighted Tent's sandbag option comes as 4 bags for 10x10 and 10x15, and 6 for 10x20.
How to choose
- Pick 10x10 if the event sells standard pitches (most markets and fairs do), you're working alone or with one helper, or you'll transport it often.
- Pick 10x15 if you need a second table or more room for stock, and the event offers a larger pitch.
- Pick 10x20 for food service, big teams, sponsor areas, or a double booth. It's twice the cover of a 10x10 for well under twice the price ($1,299 vs $749 with frame).
