Yes, if…

• Your event is in April, May, September, or October
• The party runs into the evening, when it cools down
• There's any chance of wind or rain in the forecast
• You want a more finished, intimate look

Probably not, if…

You're hosting a midsummer afternoon party with a clear forecast and plenty of shade. On a calm, warm day, an open tent feels breezy and welcoming.

The case for peace of mind

Sidewalls are inexpensive insurance. They can be added if the forecast turns (subject to availability), but it's easier to have them ready. Our quote builder suggests sidewalls automatically for spring and fall dates.

Good to know

Clear sidewalls keep the light and the view; solid panels add privacy and block wind. We'll help you pick.
