Whether you’re organizing a church crusade, a wedding reception, a school graduation, or a political rally, one thing is certain: your guests need shelter. Not just any shelter—but a structure that’s spacious, weatherproof, and visually impressive. That’s where the 200-seater tent comes in. It’s the sweet spot between affordability and scale, offering enough room for mid-sized gatherings without overwhelming your budget.
But how much does a 200-seater tent really cost in Uganda? And more importantly, what are you actually paying for?
Let’s break it down.
Understanding the Price Range
In Uganda’s current market, a 200-seater tent typically costs between UGX 9 million and UGX 18 million, depending on the materials, design, and customization options. At Eratent, we offer premium-grade tents that fall within this range, with flexible options to suit churches, NGOs, schools, and private clients.
Add-ons like branded walls, clear windows, or a fourth wall enclosure may push the price slightly higher—but they also elevate the tent’s utility and presentation.
What’s Included in a Typical 200-Seater Tent Package?
At Eratent, we don’t just sell tents—we deliver engineered solutions. Our 200-seater tent package includes:
- Heavy-duty PVC roofing and walls: Designed to withstand rain, sun, and wind. The kolea material is waterproof, UV-resistant, and easy to clean.
- Steel frame pipes (50/1.5mm): Galvanized for rust resistance and built to last through repeated setups.
- Clear PVC windows: Optional, but recommended for natural light and visibility.
- Side curtains and fourth wall: For full enclosure and privacy, especially useful for church services or overnight events.
- Compact packaging: Foldable design with a branded carry bag for easy transport and storage.
- Optional branding: Logos, slogans, or custom colors to match your organization or event theme.
Why the Price Varies
Not all tents are created equal. Here are the key factors that influence the final cost:
1. Material Quality
Cheap tents may use thin tarpaulin or low-grade canvas, which fades, tears, or leaks after a few uses. Eratent uses kolea PVC, a premium material known for its durability and professional finish. It’s more expensive upfront—but it saves you money in repairs and replacements.
2. Frame Strength
The backbone of any tent is its frame. We use galvanized steel pipes with a 50mm diameter and 1.5mm thickness—strong enough to handle wind and weight without bending. Some suppliers cut corners with thinner pipes, which may collapse under pressure.
3. Customization
Do you want your church logo printed on the side? Need extra windows for ventilation? Want a unique layout for your wedding? Customization adds value—and a modest cost—but it transforms your tent from generic to iconic.
4. Accessories
Groundsheet, lighting, branded curtains, and side walls are often priced separately. At Eratent, we offer bundled packages that include essential accessories, so you don’t have to chase multiple vendors.
5. Delivery and Setup
Some suppliers charge extra for transport and installation. Eratent offers free site surveys and flexible setup options within Kampala, ensuring your tent is properly installed and ready to serve.
