20' x 83' Standard A-Frame Tent
Our longest Standard run. At 83 ft it is usually a field, campus or parking-lot tent rather than a backyard one.
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
- School and town events
- Large fundraisers
- Multi-family celebrations
Probably not this one if…
Most residential backyards — 89 ft of clear run is a lot of lawn.
Questions
20' × 83' tent FAQ
How many people fit under a 20' × 83' tent?
A 20' x 83' Standard A-Frame Tent covers 1,660 sq ft and seats 160 guests at 6′ banquet tables, about 128 at 60″ rounds, or holds 320 standing. That is roughly 10.4 sq ft per seated guest.
How much space do I need for a 20' × 83' tent?
Allow 26′ × 89′ of clear, reasonably level ground — the tent is 20′ × 83′, 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' × 83' tent cost?
The 20' x 83' Standard A-Frame Tent starts at $1,499 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.
