20' x 55' Standard A-Frame Tent
A long, narrow footprint. Excellent along a property line or driveway; awkward in a square yard where the Hexagon may fit better.
Specification
What this tent actually holds
Capacity figures assume seating only. If you also want a dance floor, bar or buffet under the same cover, subtract that area first — the calculator does it for you.

Rounds seat about 20% fewer people than 6′ banquet tables in the same tent — they use floor space less efficiently. Both figures above account for that, so you can order tables against them.
Best for
- Large graduation parties
- Church and community events
- Fundraisers
Probably not this one if…
Short yards — it needs 61 ft of clear run.
Questions
20' × 55' tent FAQ
How many people fit under a 20' × 55' tent?
A 20' x 55' Standard A-Frame Tent covers 1,100 sq ft and seats 120 guests at 6′ banquet tables, about 96 at 60″ rounds, or holds 240 standing. That is roughly 9.2 sq ft per seated guest.
How much space do I need for a 20' × 55' tent?
Allow 26′ × 61′ of clear, reasonably level ground — the tent is 20′ × 55′, plus about 3′ on every side for stakes or ballast. Check for overhead branches and buried utilities before the crew arrives.
How much does a 20' × 55' tent cost?
The 20' x 55' Standard A-Frame Tent starts at $995 for the tent. Delivery, setup and takedown are billed as one combined fee that varies by town and is not included in that price — call (860) 265-4869 with your address and we will quote it up front. Add-ons such as sidewalls or lighting are priced separately.
Is delivery included in the price?
No. Tent prices cover the tent itself. Delivery, setup and takedown are billed together as a single fee based on which town you are in — so you get one number, not a line-item breakdown. Call us with your address and we will quote it up front.
