For 200 pax, plan on a tentage footprint of roughly 15m x 18m to 18m x 20m for a seated dinner, or approximately 12m x 15m for a standing reception. At this scale, clear span structures become worth considering given the layout flexibility they offer over pole-supported alternatives. How Does 200 Pax Compare to Smaller…

How Tentage Is Anchored: Ballast vs. Staking on Different Surfaces

Waterproof Ratings for Event Tents: What the Numbers Mean
Waterproof ratings for event tents are typically measured in millimetres of hydrostatic head, with 1,000mm considered water-resistant and 3,000mm or higher considered genuinely waterproof for sustained heavy rain.

Pop-up tents set up in minutes with a spring-loaded frame, ideal for quick, informal, small-scale use, while framed tentage requires professional installation but offers far greater size, structural strength, and weather resistance for real events.

Clear span tents use an aluminium frame engineered without centre support poles, giving large events a completely open, obstruction-free floor plan.
