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.

Questions
40' × 80' Century tent FAQ
How many people fit under a 40' × 80' Century tent?

How much space do I need for a 40' × 80' Century tent?
Allow 46′ × 86′ of clear, reasonably level ground — the tent is 40′ × 80′, 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 40' × 80' Century tent cost?
The 40' x 80' Century Tent is quoted per event. Siting, anchoring and access vary too much on a tent this size for a single list price. Call (860) 265-4869 for a number.
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.
