Sizes, prices and what is included with every rental we deliver.
Tent Rentals in Chula Vista
Tent rentals in Chula Vista start at $500 for a 20×20 high peak tent, and our crew handles delivery, setup and takedown on every one. Bigger guest lists can step up to a 20×30 or 20×40, and tents can be joined for large events.
A 20×20 seats about 33 guests at round tables and needs a flat 25×25 ft area, which suits many Eastlake and Otay Ranch backyards. Anything over 400 sq ft needs a fire department permit, so a 20×30 or 20×40 means one extra call before your date.
- Setup and takedown by our crew included
- Panorama sidewalls available from $50
- Over 400 sq ft (20×30, 20×40) needs a fire permit

Canopy Rentals in Chula Vista
Canopy rentals in Chula Vista start at $70 for a 10x10 pop-up, with 10x20, 10x30 and 10x40 sizes for longer serving lines or seating areas. A 10x20 covers about 16 guests at round tables.
Canopies are the simpler pick for a park. City parks allow up to three canopies of 10x10 or smaller without a reservation, while anything larger, or a high peak tent, requires a park reservation through Parks and Recreation. For school events, a carnival canopy or booth gives each game its own station.
- Up to three 10x10s allowed in parks without a reservation
- Carnival canopies and booths for school events

Table and Chair Rentals in Chula Vista

For a sit-down dinner, 60-inch rounds seat eight each; for a buffet line, 8ft banquet tables work better. Packages that pair a table with its chairs start at $30. Our crew can set everything up for an added fee, or you can arrange it yourself after drop-off.

Tablecloth and Linen Rentals
Floor-length tablecloths are $25 each and fit our 6ft, 8ft and 60-inch round tables, so every linen matches the table it covers. Spandex covers for cocktail tables are $20 and give standing tables a fitted, clean look.
Linens need at least two weeks of notice, so add them when you reserve tables. Count one cloth per table, including the cake, gift and buffet tables that are easy to forget during planning.

Yard Game and Giant Lawn Game Rentals in Chula Vista
Giant lawn game rentals in Chula Vista start at $40 for giant Jenga or ring toss, and the lawn game party package bundles several games for $155. Other options include Connect 4, cornhole and yard pong.
Games keep guests busy between the meal and the cake at backyard birthdays, graduation parties and company picnics. Set them on flat grass or turf away from the food tables. Because they book out quickly, reserve at least one month ahead.

Concession Machine Rentals in Chula Vista
Concession machine rentals in Chula Vista cost $100 each for popcorn, cotton candy or snow cones, with supplies for 50 servings included. Extra supplies come in batches of 50 for larger crowds.
Every machine runs on one standard 110V outlet. Many park picnic areas and school fields have no reachable power, so pair the machine with a generator. In city parks, the generator must sit on plywood rather than grass and cannot be refueled on grass. A $20 carnival theme table gives the machine a sturdy base.

Carnival Games for School Carnivals and Fall Festivals
Carnival games start at $110 for a fish bowl toss or milk bottle bash, and a carnival ring toss is $125. Each game is sized for kids and simple enough for parent volunteers to run.
Schools and churches often pair each game with a carnival canopy or booth so lines stay organized and players stay in the shade. Prizes are not included, so plan to bring your own prize bins and tickets.

Event Lighting and Generator Rentals in Chula Vista
Event lighting rentals in Chula Vista start at $30 for a 25ft strand of string lights, and 30ft globe light strands with eight bulbs are $40. For power, the $100 generator delivers 3,900 running watts on gasoline and runs up to 18 hours depending on load.
String and globe lights hang well along tent frames, patio covers and fences for evening parties. Add a 100ft extension cord for $20 when the nearest outlet is across the yard, or use the generator at a park site with no power, keeping it on plywood as park rules require.

The rentals were beautiful, clean, and exactly what we envisioned. They arrived on time, set everything up seamlessly, and made the entire process completely stress-free. It was one less thing for us to worry about, which meant so much while planning a big event.
If you’re looking for a company that’s reliable, professional, and truly goes above and beyond, I can’t recommend Tents & Things enough.
Would highly recommend! Good communication both during ordering and day of. On-time delivery and pick-up, very professional.
I had a fantastic experience renting tables and chairs from Tents and Things for a backyard dinner party I hosted. Selvin was incredibly responsive throughout the process, and his prices—including delivery—were very reasonable.
The equipment was in perfect condition, and Selvin was punctual for both delivery and pickup. He went above and beyond by offering to set everything up for me and even brought extra chairs just in case I needed them. I highly recommend Tents and Things for your next event!

Planning a party in Chula Vista: permits and park rules
Most parties here happen in backyards or city parks, and the city has a few rules worth knowing before you book.
Tent permits
Chula Vista Fire Department requires a permit for any tent or canopy larger than 400 sq ft, which includes our 20x30 and 20x40 high peak tents. A 20x20 tent or 10x40 canopy is exactly 400 sq ft and falls under the limit.
Call the fire department at (619) 691-5029 for current fees and inspection times.
Tents and canopies in parks
City parks allow up to three canopies of 10x10 or smaller without a reservation. Larger canopies and high peak tents need a park reservation through the city's Parks and Recreation department.
Generators in parks
Generators must sit on plywood, not directly on grass, and can't be refueled on grass.
Alcohol and music in parks
A park reservation is required to have alcohol at Eucalyptus, Friendship, Harborside, Lauderbach, Memorial, Orange, Rienstra and SDG&E parks. Amplified music and DJs need approval from Parks and Recreation.
Backyard space
Many Eastlake and Otay Ranch backyards are compact. A 20x20 tent needs a 25x25 ft flat area, and a 10x20 canopy fits most side yards. Try our tent size calculator.
