Description

Hip ends slope inward from the ridge instead of finishing in a flat vertical wall. A 40×120 hip end liner rental follows that shape. It covers the two sloped ends of the tent. A roof liner on its own stops at the ridge line, so the ends stay bare vinyl unless the hip pieces go in with it.

What this size fits

This liner suits a 40×120 frame tent with hip ends. Liners are cut to a tent and do not adjust on site. So the dimensions and the end style both have to match. A 40×120 hip end liner rental will not hang on a gable-ended tent, and it will not stretch to a 40×140. We stock a 40×140 hip end liner for that run instead.

Hip ends or gable ends

The two are not interchangeable, and the choice changes the room. Hip ends give the tent a softer profile from outside. They also shed water off the corners. Gable ends give you a full-height vertical face at each end. That is the better surface for a stage, a head table or a backdrop. So pick hip ends when the silhouette matters, and gable ends when something goes against the end wall.

Lining a long tent

A 40×120 is a long run. An unlined ceiling reads as a corridor of seams down its whole length. Lining it does more here than in a short tent, because the eye follows the length of the space. Plan the lighting at the same time. Fixtures hang below the liner, so every hang point gets set while the tent goes up.

Leg drapes are separate

Leg drapes are not included unless you specify them. On a 120-foot run there are a lot of legs. So this is the size where leaving them off shows most.
