A Small Tent With a Real Footprint
At 16 by 24, this tent is sized for the space right behind a house: the back lawn, the patio, or the area next to a pool or deck. It’s bigger than a canopy but small enough to leave the rest of the yard open.

Party Tent on Deck, Patio or Lawn
If you want a deck tent, tell us the deck size, what it’s made of and how high it is off the ground when you request a quote. We’ll let you know what setup works for your space.
If a tent over deck boards isn’t the right fit, a 16×24 can often go on the lawn or patio right beside it, so guests can move between the deck and the tent. Either way, a tent for deck rental quote starts with your address and the deck details.

16 x 24 Tent Questions
Is this an A frame tent?
It has a peaked roof, rising from 7 ft at the sides to 11 ft in the middle, but it’s a frame tent: the party tent frame holds up the top, so there are no poles inside.
Is a 16 x 16 tent big enough instead?
The 16×16 seats 30 and starts at $595. If you need seats for 40, the 16×24 is the better fit.
