The Beyond Tent 20x40 Universal Blockout Sidewall Kit (7') is a six-panel modular sidewall set built to enclose a 20' x 40' frame tent with 7' leg height. Because sidewall panels run in 20' sections, the two 40' sides are each covered by two panels placed end to end, while the two 20' ends are each covered by a single panel — six 7'x20' panels in total, mixing solid blockout coverage with cathedral-style window panels.
Every panel is cut from 16 oz. PVC blockout vinyl, the same weight class used across our frame tent sidewall lineup, and finished with sewn-in clips, buckles, and hook-and-loop strips for a snug, draft-resistant attachment to the tent frame.
Beyond Tent supplies commercial-grade tent components exclusively to rental operators, event production companies, and venues — not one-off consumer sales. Every kit we carry is sized and built to hold up to repeated setup, teardown, and transport cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions: 20x40 Universal Blockout Sidewall Kit (7')
1) What exactly is included in this kit?
The kit includes six 7'x20' modular panels: three solid blockout panels and three window blockout panels. Together they cover the full 120 linear ft. perimeter of a 20' x 40' frame tent — two panels forming each 40' side and one panel forming each 20' end. Total kit weight is 107 lbs.
2) What tent leg height does this kit fit?
This kit is built for 7' leg-height frame tents and pole tents. If your tent uses a different leg height (such as 8'), you'll need the matching leg-height version of this sidewall kit — sidewalls are sized to the leg height, not just the footprint.
3) What's the difference between the solid and window panels?
Solid blockout panels are fully opaque 16 oz. PVC vinyl, used for complete privacy and maximum weather blocking. Window panels use the same 16 oz. blockout vinyl on the upper and lower sections with a clear cathedral-style window in the center, letting in daylight and sightlines while still blocking wind and rain. Most rental setups mix both across the perimeter.
4) How does the sidewall attach to the tent frame?
Each panel has sewn-in clips, buckles, and hook-and-loop (Velcro) strips along the top and sides. These attach to the tent's rafter and leg hardware for a secure, draft-resistant fit. No separate hardware kit is required for standard 7' frame tent installs.
5) Is this sidewall kit fire retardant?
Yes. The 16 oz. PVC blockout vinyl used in this kit is fire retardant and formulated to meet and exceed National Fire Protection Association standards, which is typically required for permitted tented events. UV-resistant treatment is also standard on all panels.
6) Can I order individual panels instead of the full kit?
Yes. Beyond Tent stocks individual 7' solid and window blockout sidewalls in 20' lengths, so you can replace a single damaged panel or build a custom wall configuration without buying a full new kit. Contact our team at 866-296-3868 for individual panel SKUs and pricing.
7) Does Beyond Tent sell to individual consumers or only businesses?
Beyond Tent is a B2B supplier focused on tent rental operators, event production companies, venues, and government/institutional buyers. Our sidewall kits are built and priced for commercial rental use, and our team can help you configure sidewalls across a full tent fleet.
Note: Because this kit uses six modular 20' panels, the exact placement of solid vs. window panels around the tent perimeter is subject to availability at the time of order — contact our team to confirm the configuration before you order.
