Professional Tailgate Tents

There’s nothing like a good ol’ fashioned tailgate on football Saturdays. We’ve helped a handful of die-hard fans fully enjoy their tailgating experience with custom, heavy-duty tailgating tents that are built to last season after season.

It’s important to note that you do need your university’s permission to use their logos on any custom tent design. TentCraft doesn’t hold the rights to any NCAA college logos, so make sure you have the proper approvals before adding those details to your tent.

These aren’t your typical tailgate tents that you’d find at Home Depot or on Amazon. Our tents are professional-grade, and designed to handle the wear and tear of a full season of tailgating. With all-aluminum frames, durable fabrics, and custom features, these tents are in a league of their own.

Because of their American-made quality and durability, they do come at a higher price point. We've had die-hard football fans who tailgate together and split the cost to invest in a heavy-duty MONARCHTENT.

Customization is where these tents truly shine. Beyond just colors and logos, you can tailor your tent to be as functional and eye-catching as you like. Counters for drinks and snacks? No problem. Giant flags to celebrate your team's national championship? We’ve got you covered.

With our professional tailgate tents, you’ll be the envy of the parking lot, and more importantly, you’ll have a setup that keeps the good times rolling all season long.

Custom Tents for Colleges FAQs

  • What is the best solution for a semi-permanent tent?

  • The best semi-permanent tent checks three boxes: It’s heavy-duty and durable enough to handle harsh weather; it’s easy to install; and it can accommodate a number of accessories, like side walls and window walls to ensure nothing blows in during instruction time. E-Series and X-Series frame tents from TentCraft are excellent choices that meet these criteria.

  • What are TentCraft custom pop-ups tents made of?

  • TentCraft custom pop-up tents are made with a strong, lightweight aluminum frame. We use 600 denier polyester for our canopies that can be completely customized.

  • Are your tents wind rated?

  • All TentCraft tents come with a certified wind rating from an actual engineering firm. Don’t believe us? Here’s the wind rating document for our 20’x20’ E-Series Event Tent.

  • What tent ballasting options do you have for outdoor events?

  • We offer a few ballasting options that are sold separately from your tent order, depending on the size and style of the tent. 

    For pop up tents like the MONARCHTENT and mightyTENT, we recommend ballasting with footplates if you’re unable to properly stake your tent to the ground using its included heavy-duty staking kit. TentCraft customers often use footplates when they are set up on concrete or asphalt. Each footplate is 52 lbs. 



    We recommend ballasting larger frame tents with heavy-duty water barrels. Each water barrel is 660 pounds when completely filled.

  • Can you create tents that meet NCAA or school-specific branding guidelines?

  • You will need your university’s permission to use their logos on any custom tent design. TentCraft doesn’t hold the rights to any NCAA college logos, so make sure to have the proper approvals before adding those details to your tent.

  • Can you match an existing display or tent we already have?

  • Yes, we rely on Pantone color matching in order to ensure color cohesion across various vendors and substrates.
