Pole tents (or tension tents) have one or more centre poles that are installed in the centre of the tent. Vertical side poles are placed every 10 feet. Tension tents do not require any framing in the canopy which creates an uncluttered top with 22’ high peaks Pole tents can be installed quickly and for a relatively low price for a large tent. Guy lines are required to support the structure. Sizes start at 1600 square feet or a 40’ x 40’ tent and can be increased in 20’ lengths such as a 40’ x 60’ or 40’ x 80’ or 40 x100 and 40 x120 tent.
These tents are freestanding structures and use a frame and eve cross-cables to support the structure. Eight-foot tall vertical side poles are spaced up to 20 feet apart. ‘Floating’ peak poles are supported by eve cross cables. Marquee tents are great for backyard parties and smaller events. The frame tent is easily installed on a variety of surfaces. Waterproof eve joiners are used to connect multiple tents together to create larger spaces in unique shapes. Individual tent sizes range from 100 to 1040 square feet.
