Example:
You're having a party for 150 guests and you want to use round tables for seating in a tent. You take the 150 multiply by 12 to equal 1800. Then you take the dimensions of a tent and multiply length x width to figure out square footage of the tent. In this case you would need a 30 x 60 tent to accommodate the 150 guests at round tables. You may want to allow extra room for wider areas between tables and areas that center poles take up. Please call an associate with any questions or concerns.
