Tent Rentals in Genesee and Lapeer Counties
Graduation open houses, family reunions, church picnics, backyard weddings: when the party is outside, a good tent keeps everyone in the shade and out of the rain. We rent three event tents, and every price includes setup and takedown by our crew.
One of our pole tents set up on a lawn with tables and white folding chairs. It appears to be a 20x40 (approximate).

Which tent do I need?
- Is it going on a driveway, concrete, turf, or a parking lot? Pick the 20x40 High Peak. We stake it on grass, or on a driveway with grass alongside for the stakes, at no extra fee. Concrete, turf, fully paved spots, asphalt, or a parking lot adds $250 for water ballast. Pole tents are grass only.
- Up to about 48 seated, on grass? The 20x30 pole tent is the lower-priced fit.
- About 64 seated, or a ceremony of 90 to 100, on grass? The 20x40 pole tent.
- Want a wide-open floor with no center poles? The 20x40 High Peak, on grass or a hard surface.
- Just need shade for a check-in or food table? Our 10x10 pop-up tent is $25. It is a small canopy, not a dinner tent.
Price and what is included
- One all-in price
- Each event tent price includes the tent plus setup and takedown by our crew.
- Delivery
- Delivery fee depends on distance from our Flint Township base.
- Hard-surface fee (High Peak only)
- We stake on grass, or on a driveway with grass alongside for the stakes, at no extra fee. Add a flat $250 on concrete, turf, fully paved spots, asphalt, a parking lot, or any surface we cannot stake. It covers the water ballast (four 250-gallon water totes, about 1,000 gallons, that you fill with your own water) and tie-downs. You need a working hose and spigot.
- Insurance
- We are insured, and we can send a certificate of insurance (COI) to a park, school, church, or venue that asks for one. Request a COI on our COI and W-9 page.

How we count: 8 guests per 8 ft table (4 per side) and 8 per 60 in round. "Comfortable" leaves walking room. In our pole tents the center poles leave no room for extra tables, so there is no tight count. Ceremony and standing numbers follow standard tent spacing. These are planning numbers, and we confirm the layout with you before your event.
The 20x40 High Peak is the exception: with no center poles it can take a tight 80 in banquet rows. We recommend setting tables inside the 10x10 grid of the frame, and you can use round tables or long tables there, so the layout is flexible.
Layout drawings
Every tent has three drawings: banquet rows (or a ceremony), separate 8 ft tables, and 60 in rounds. Red circles are poles; the large ones marked P are center poles. The dashed line about 5 ft outside each tent shows where the stakes go.

Surface rules
- Pole tents (20x30 and 20x40): grass only. They are staked into a lawn with guy lines, so they cannot go on a driveway, concrete, asphalt, a parking lot, turf, a patio, or a deck. Plan on a clear area of about 30 x 40 ft for the 20x30 and 30 x 50 ft for the 20x40.
- 20x40 High Peak: grass, driveway, or a surface we cannot stake. We stake it on grass, or on a driveway with grass alongside for the stakes, at no extra fee. Concrete, turf, fully paved spots, asphalt, a parking lot, or any surface we cannot stake adds a flat $250 hard-surface fee. We use four 250-gallon water totes, about 1,000 gallons total, that you fill with your own water, so you need a working hose and spigot. If there is no water at the site, we cannot set up on a surface we cannot stake.
- Allow about 5 ft of clear space around the tent footprint for stakes and guy lines.
- Underground utility lines need to be marked through MISS DIG 811 before your setup date, because we drive stakes into the ground.
Rental window
- Out Wednesday or Thursday, back Monday or Tuesday. Tents go out on Wednesday or Thursday and are picked up on Monday or Tuesday, based on weather and staff openings.
- No same-day setups or takedowns. We do not set up and take down a tent on the same day.
- Book early for graduation and summer weekends so we can fit your setup into the week.
Add tables, chairs, a stage, sound, and sidewalls
Tables and chairs turn the tent into a dining room, and the stage and Fender system are handy for toasts, announcements, or music. 2027 prices, per item:

Tent rental FAQ
How much does a tent rental cost?
For 2027 bookings, the 20x30 pole tent is $560, the 20x40 pole tent is $595, and the 20x40 High Peak is $810. Each price includes setup and takedown. The 10x10 pop-up tent is $25. Delivery fee depends on distance from our Flint Township base.
Which tent can go on a driveway, concrete, or turf?
Only the 20x40 High Peak. We stake it on grass, or on a driveway with grass alongside for the stakes, at no extra fee. On concrete, turf, fully paved spots, asphalt, a parking lot, or any surface we cannot stake, it adds a flat $250 hard-surface fee for water ballast: four 250-gallon water totes, about 1,000 gallons, that you fill with your own water from a working hose and spigot. Our pole tents are grass only.
How many people fit in each tent?
With 8 guests per 8 ft table set end to end in banquet rows, the 20x30 pole tent seats about 48 and the 20x40 pole tent and 20x40 High Peak seat about 64. The center poles leave no room for extra tables in the pole tents, but the High Peak can take a tight 80 with 2 extra tables down the middle. With separate 8 ft tables spaced apart, about 32 in the 20x30 and 48 in either 20x40. With 60 in round tables at 8 per round, about 40 in the 20x30 and 56 in either 20x40.
When do you set up and take down tents?
Tents go out on Wednesday or Thursday and are picked up on Monday or Tuesday, based on weather and staff openings. We do not do same-day setups or takedowns.
Can I rent tables, chairs, a stage, and sound with the tent?
Yes. 8 ft tables are $10, chairs are $1.85, 60 in rounds and cocktail tables are $12, stage platforms are $50 each (3 ft x 8 ft, 1 ft high, black skirting, up to 4), the Fender sound system with mic is $99, and sidewalls are $25 per wall.
How tall are the tents, and where are the poles?
Our pole tents are 7 ft high at the sides, and the 20x40 High Peak is 8 ft high at the sides. The 20x30 pole tent has two center poles and the 20x40 pole tent has three, evenly spaced down the middle. The High Peak has no center poles on the ground, so the floor is wide open.
Do you rent tent sidewalls?
Yes. Sidewalls are $25 per wall. Once they go up, they stay on the tent for the whole rental, so we cannot take them down or roll them up and hand them back partway through. Let us know how many walls you want when you book.
Do you offer dance floors?
No, we do not offer dance floors. If you want open floor space in the tent, we can plan a layout with a couple of tables left out.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are insured, and we can send a certificate of insurance (COI) to a park, school, church, or venue that asks for one.
