#2. NTK Super Arizona GT up to 12 Person Camping Tent

You can fit around 3 mattresses in the NTK Super Arizona or up to 12 persons. Granted, this is not much to brag, but what the NTK takes pride in is its weather-protection roof and walls. It can darken the sun during the hottest day or keep your family completely dry during the heaviest of rain with its heavy duty seamless polyethylene and silver coated layer inside.

While ignoring the weather, it also includes 3 windows and D-shaped doors with no-see-um mesh that ventilates and brightens the rooms, but leaves out the bugs completely.

The tent pole is interconnected with high-performance bungee and strong galvanized steel parts joining together to create stability and maintain structure. Another good fact about this tent is the aluminum pin-and-ring system plus the color coding that make for a very convenient set up.

Conclusion: Regarding functionality, the Tahoe Gear Cabin Tent holds the ground under bad weathers with durable 1000 mm polyester body.

Two people can set it up in just 20 minutes and then you have a 14-persons tent with 12 windows and 4 doors providing great ventilation and lighting. With a tent this big, it is wise to add room dividers for privacy. That is exactly what the Ozark Cabin Tent did. 3 especially sewn-in room dividers cut up the tent from 1 to 4 rooms, your choice.

Its floor area is 20′ x 20′ with the center peak of 78″ and it features the mesh roof that you would really appreciate camping during good weather as it provides such a panoramic view along with the 12 windows. Should rain comes, there is the taped fly seams ready to prevent leakage. Other than that, it includes the convenient shoe storage and mud mat to keep mud off the area plus E-port to access extension cord.

#9. Shade Tree 20′ x 30′ Heavy Duty Event, Party, Wedding Tent

The Shade Tree Tent may not be the prettiest, but sure is one of the largest tents there is. With the cover area of 20′ x 30′ and decent height (11 ft. at the peak and 7 ft. at the sides), it is the perfect tent to host wedding, or many cars with up to 90% sun block. The structure is held by improved 1.5 inch strong galvanized steel tube frame with spring loaded locking balls that adds stability by locking all the frame together.

The Shade Tree tent is a 10-walls tent, with 8 side window walls and 2 big zipper-door wall on opposite sides. These walls are made removable to your liking. Although the fabric used is a heavy duty waterproof material, make sure you keep good tension on the roof to avoid the standing water because the roof won’t hold too much of it.

Conclusion: Besides the ridiculously small stakes included that won’t hold against strong wind, everything is good about this Shade Tree Heavy Duty Tent. It is large enough to host wedding and car park.

Although the company warns us about not leaving it in the wind and under heavy loads of rain, the DELTA Canopies Party Tent has so far held up well with 18 mph gust of wind and pouring rain without leaking or collapsing. Made of heavy-duty waterproof PVC roof and wall plus strong high quality framework, it is very sturdy and reliable ensuring that your wedding party won’t end up a disaster in the worst of weather.

Conclusion: Measuring at 30′ x 20′ in area, 6.1′ side height and 12.8′ peak height, it fits around nine 8-feet rectangular tables with ease, hosting around 70 people. That makes the DELTA Canopies Tent a great party tent.

Buying Guide of 10 to 20 Person Tent

Firstly, you have to consider the size, which means asking how many people it is accommodating in sleep, because sleeping takes up way more space, or how many cars you are fitting if you are buying for a car park. Will the height of the tent be tall enough for your friends or car? Secondly, are you camping in a predictable weather? If the weather is not too much to handle, you can save up some cash and still have yourself a nice camping tent.

Otherwise, get a certain and sturdy one. The rest are smaller things like how many private rooms you are looking for, how many convenient doors, plus gear and stuff storage.
