Our heavy-duty pop-up tent — MONARCHTENT — is more than a tent. It’s event armor that protects your brand, your people, and your investment.
MONARCHTENT is our strongest pop-up tent, with the 10x10 option weighing about 75 lbs. with the canopy. We put so much confidence in describing this all-aluminum, heavy-duty pop-up tent frame as the strongest on the market that we back it up with certified wind ratings and a lifetime frame warranty.
What separates MONARCHTENT from other pop-up options, though, is that it's:

The 10x10 MONARCHTENT Standard Peak is the traditional shape of most pop-up style tents. TentCraft's unique design gives it the tallest peak in the industry plus these come with double-sided peak flags for even great height and visibility.
Starting at: $2,798
The 10x10 MONARCHFLATROOF with custom canopy is a great solution for businesses that attend indoor events where there may be height restrictions, or for those who simply want to stand out with something different than a traditional peak.
Starting at: $3,888
A 10x10 MONARCHGABLE offers a frame tent look in a pop-up tent’s body. The large canopy offers plenty of branding real estate. The configuration also allows you to install a peak banner for additional branding opportunities.
Starting at: $4,248
Our 10x10 MONARCHREACH features an extended canopy that gives you 18 inches of overhang on all four sides. As a result, your canopy has more capacity and more shade from the sun. It installs in the same amount of time as a traditional 10x10 canopy tent.
Starting at: $3,598
The 10x10 MONARCHSTOREFRONT offers some of the best branding real estate out of all of our 10x10 canopy tents. You can set it up with the large billboard-style valance in front or push that side against a wall
Starting at: $1,998
When you need a strong 10x10 canopy, but need a lighter, more budget-friendly option, our medium-duty 10x10, mightyTENT, is an excellent option.
Made with a similar aluminum frame as MONARCHTENT, but completed with engineered plastic connecting joints to lower costs, this American-made pop-up tent still lasts a really long time and provides the professional branding you're looking for.
Canopy designs for the 10x10 mightyTENT include a standard peak and a flat roof. It’s also compatible with all TentCraft accessories, including full and half walls, countertops, our handy weighted footplates, and our collection of event flags.
Starting at: $4,078
When you need a semi-permanent custom 10x10 tent, TentCraft’s lineup of frame tents is a great option.
Our E-Series and X-Series frame tents come with certified wind ratings, and the canopy top is fabricated using a heavy-duty 18oz vinyl with hot-air-welded seams to create a waterproof seal.
The high-pitch canopy can be custom-printed with your organization’s branding, and the entire structure can be set up in under 30 minutes thanks to its quick, tool-free setup.
Starting at: $4,558
TentCraft’s unique GYBE inflatable tent comes in four different sizes, including 10x10.
Customers love inflatable tents because they’re lightweight to transport, easy to set up in about 5 minutes, and the modern design really helps them stand out at events. Check out these great inflatable tent examples.
While the overall footprint of the 10x10 is still 100 square feet, the unique arch design of the tent makes it feel more spacious than other tent types. And because there are no rigid frames, packing up and storing this tent is a breeze.
Starting at: $5,219
While our custom event truss tents are typically purchased for larger activations, a 10x10 is still a possibility if you need a creative activation that stands out in a crowd.

With 100 square feet of space, as many as 15 people can fit under a 10x10 canopy tent with no furniture underneath it. If you add a table and chairs, that number drops to about 8 people.
That's definitely the max amount of people who could fit under a 10x10 comfortably. Most 10x10 customers use this tent with 2-4 people underneath it.
Adding walls can make the tent's interior feel smaller, so keep that in mind if you plan on having a lot of people under a tent.
Check out these custom 10x10 tents for inspiration and to get a better idea about size.
A 10x10 canopy is such a popular size because it’s big enough to fit a handful of people underneath to run a business at an event, but also small enough to make transportation and setup easy.
TentCraft pop-up canopies are made from our proprietary Duranti (600-D) material, which is designed with a specific tensile strength and thread density that reduces water pooling.
It’s resistant to fire, water, UV, and mildew.
Our pop-up and frame tent frames are made of aluminum.
Because aluminum is a third of the weight of steel, we can make the legs of our tents thicker without making the tent unreasonably heavy.
