A 32×16 tent is the same tent turned the other way. At twice as long as it is wide, it fits narrow yards, the side of a house, or a strip of lawn next to a driveway.
How Many People Fit in a 16×32 Tent?
We list the 16×32 at 60 seated guests. For a standing party, it holds about 100. If you want a buffet, bar or small dance floor inside, plan for fewer seats so there’s room to move.
How Many Tables Fit in a 16×32 Tent?
At 60 seats, that’s about 7 to 8 round tables of eight. Because the tent is long and narrow, long tables also work well: two rows down the 32 ft length, with an aisle between them. For a mixed layout, put the food or bar at one end and tables in the rest of the tent. Try your own layout in the tent calculator.
16×32 Party Tent Rental Setup Instructions
If you searched for 16×32 party tent rental setup instructions, the short answer is that you don’t set it up. Our crew delivers, installs and picks up the tent. Here’s what to do on your side:
- Measure the space. You need a flat area of at least 16 by 32 feet.
- Pick the surface. On grass, the tent is staked. On a patio, driveway or parking lot, add weights ($252) when you order.
- Call 811. If the tent will be staked, have underground lines marked before setup day.
- Check permits. Ask Woodbridge Township or your town whether a tent permit is needed.
- Clear the area. Move cars, furniture and anything else out of the setup spot before the crew arrives.

Spring and fall. White sidewalls ($300) or cathedral window sidewalls ($400) block the wind, and a heater ($395) takes the chill off. Cathedral windows let guests see out while the tent stays closed in.
