The 16×32 clear top tent puts 512 sq ft of floor under a see-through vinyl roof, with seating for 60 guests. It’s twice as long as it is wide, so it fits along the side of a house, a pool or a garden path. The roof sits on a white frame with no poles in the middle, and the tent can be staked into grass or weighted on a patio. This 16×32 tent rental starts at $1,095.

Why Pick a Clear Top for a Long, Narrow Space
A long, narrow tent can feel closed in under a solid roof. A clear top fixes that. Guests see the sky, the trees and the house around them, so a tent 16×32 in size feels open even when every seat is full. At night, the roof shows the stars, and bistro lights add a warm glow overhead.
The shape also suits spaces that are long but not wide: a strip of lawn beside a driveway, a patio along the back of a house, or the deck area next to a pool. A single long table can run most of the 32 feet, or round tables can fill the floor. Tell us your table plan when you request a quote, and we can help you check that it fits.
Clear Party Tent Rental Ideas
As a clear party tent rental, the 16×32 works for events with up to 60 seated guests:
- Backyard dinners: one long farm-style table down the middle, lit with crisscross bistro lights.
- Birthday and graduation parties: food along one side and tables along the other.
- Showers and engagement parties: cathedral window sidewalls on the windy side and the rest left open.
- Small weddings: a reception for close family under the stars.
If you’re comparing clear wedding tent rentals for a small guest list, this size seats 60 with room to add globe lights and pole skirts for a finished look. Map out tables with our tent calculator.
