North Texas winters are mild most days, which makes outdoor parties possible even in December and January. The key is planning for wind, rain and a sudden cold front. A canopy tent is your best insurance.
Choosing the Right Tent Size
- 10x10 canopy: food or drink station, up to about 8 guests seated
- 10x20 canopy: about 16 to 20 guests seated
- 20x20 canopy: about 32 to 40 guests seated
- 20x30 canopy: about 48 to 60 guests seated
Block the Wind
Position the tent so the open side faces away from the prevailing north wind, and place it close to the house for easy access to warmth and restrooms. Ask us about tent setup options when you book.
Light It Up
Winter evenings get dark early. Hang string lights inside the tent and add uplighting from our lighting collection.
Keep Guests Comfortable
Place blankets on chairs, serve hot cocoa and cider, and use tablecloths to make tables feel warmer and more inviting.
Weather Backup Plan
Check the forecast a week ahead and stay in touch with your rental team. Tents with professional setup are anchored for safety and can be adjusted if conditions change.
