Why a 16 ft Wide Tent

Many backyards are deep but not wide. A 20 or 30 ft wide tent won’t fit between a house and a fence, but a 16 x 40 often will. The extra length gives you room for a full party in a space where a square tent would never go.

The shape also works well for one long table. A single row of tables can run most of the 40 feet for a family-style dinner, with room to walk on both sides. Or set round tables in two rows with an aisle down the middle.

White Party Tents for Rent

If you’re looking for white party tents for rent, the 16×40 is a professional party tent sized for backyard events:

Birthday and graduation parties: food along one side, tables along the other.
Showers and engagement parties: a long table down the middle with lights overhead.
Small weddings and rehearsal dinners: one long table for family under crisscross lights.
Corporate and community events: a check-in or vendor area along a walkway or parking lot.

Liner, Lights and Sidewalls

Frame tent liner. A liner ($600) covers the frame overhead with white fabric for a finished, softer ceiling. Pole skirts ($300) cover the legs to match.

Party light rentals. Crisscross bistro lights ($270) zigzag across the full 40 feet. Perimeter bistro lights ($180) or cafe black string lights ($170) trace the edge. Globe lights ($120) hang lower over the tables. See all our lighting rentals.

Wind and cold. White sidewalls ($300) block wind, and cathedral window sidewalls ($400) keep a view out. A heater ($395) warms the space on a cool night.

How the Event Tent Frame Works

The event tent frame runs around the edges and across the roof, and the white top is stretched over it. Nothing holds the roof up from the middle, so the floor stays open for tables, a buffet or a dance floor. All frame tents must be secured, either staked into the ground or held down with weights, which come with block covers.

Fitting a 16×40 in Your Yard

Measure the space before you book. You need a flat area at least 16 by 40 feet, plus a little room around the edges for our crew to work and for stakes or weights. Check for overhead wires, low branches and sprinkler heads. If the tent will sit on grass on one end and a patio on the other, tell us, so we bring both stakes and weights. If you’re not sure it fits, a site visit ($250, credited when you book) can confirm it.
