Canopy and Tent Rentals
Instant shade for your San Diego party, in sizes from 10x10 up to 20x30.
Canopies are pop-up tents that add instant shade, and Brian's San Diego Jumpers rents them from $40 per day, delivered, set up and picked up across San Diego County. Setup and teardown are included with every canopy rental.
A 10 by 10 canopy covers about 100 square feet and is our most-rented shade option, great for keeping grandparents cool and the cake out of the sun. Larger 10 by 20, 20 by 20 and 20 by 30 sizes are available; text us your headcount for pricing on bigger events.
Delivery is included when you add extras to an inflatable rental in our core service area. Extras only orders have a $250 minimum ($150 for tables and chairs) and may have a delivery fee. Text your ZIP for an exact price. Pair shade with table and chair rentals, or cool guests down with a snow cone machine rental.

Tent vs canopy
A canopy gives overhead shade with open sides, great for backyard seating, food tables and smaller gatherings. A tent is a larger, more substantial covered space, some styles take sidewalls, and it works better for larger gatherings.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a tent and a canopy?
A canopy provides overhead shade with open sides, making it ideal for backyard seating, food tables and smaller gatherings. A tent is a larger, more substantial covered space, and some styles can accommodate sidewalls for extra protection, which works better for larger gatherings and formal events. Brian's San Diego Jumpers offers both options to suit your party needs.
Should I rent a tent or a canopy for my event?
Rent a canopy if you need simple shade for a few tables or a small group in a backyard. Rent a tent if you have a larger guest list, need a more stable structure, or want the option to add sidewalls for wind protection. Brian's San Diego Jumpers can help you choose the right style based on your headcount and the layout of your San Diego venue.
What canopy and tent sizes do you offer?
We offer four main sizes to fit different event needs. Brian's San Diego Jumpers rents 10 by 10 pop-up canopies starting at $40, along with 10 by 20, 20 by 20 and 20 by 30 canopies. Prices vary by size and setup requirements, so contact us for a specific quote on larger units. We deliver and set up every rental to ensure a safe, shaded space.
How many people fit under a 10x10 canopy?
A 10 by 10 canopy provides 100 square feet of shade and typically seats up to 12 guests comfortably. Brian's San Diego Jumpers recommends this size for two 6 foot tables and 12 chairs. If you have a larger guest list, you can rent multiple canopies or step up to a 10 by 20 or larger tent to keep everyone out of the San Diego sun.
Can I rent a canopy with tables and chairs?
Yes, you can bundle a canopy with tables and chairs for a complete seating solution. Brian's San Diego Jumpers offers a Backyard Birthday Bundle that pairs an inflatable with tables and chairs, and you can add a 10 by 10 canopy for just $40 more. We deliver and pick up all your party rentals together to simplify your event planning and setup.
Can I rent a canopy with a bounce house?
Yes, renting a canopy with a bounce house is a popular way to provide a shaded break area for kids and parents. Brian's San Diego Jumpers includes setup and teardown for the canopy when delivered with your inflatable. It is a great addition to any backyard party, keeping the cake, gifts and guests cool while the kids enjoy the jumper.
Do you offer delivery for canopy rentals?
Yes, we offer delivery for all our canopy and tent rentals across San Diego County. Delivery is included when you add a canopy to an inflatable rental in our core service area. For canopy-only orders, a delivery fee may apply depending on your location, and there is a $250 minimum order for standalone party extras ($150 for tables and chairs).
Are canopies good for backyard birthday parties?
Yes, canopies are an excellent choice for backyard birthday parties in San Diego. They provide essential shade for food tables, gift areas and guest seating, especially during the hot summer months. Brian's San Diego Jumpers 10 by 10 pop-up canopies are our most-rented option because they fit easily into most yards and provide instant relief from the sun for your guests.

Plan your party
What belongs on my shade plan?
Measure the area you want covered and list what will go underneath: guests, serving tables or activities. A canopy size describes the cover, not a guarantee that every furniture arrangement fits. Keep the jumper entrance and slide exit outside the furniture layout, and ask us about larger sizes before booking.
