The thing about stretch tents is that they’re so damn sexy! Well, OK, we may be a little bit biased, but when you look at these curvaceous stunners, you’ve got to agree they’re simply beautiful to look at. And if you’re anything like us, you might be tempted to book a stretch tent first and worry about what to do with it later! OK, we exaggerate – stretch tents for hire are a serious business, but since you’re looking at this, you probably already have an event in mind, or perhaps an area that needs covering, whether for a weekend or as a semi-permanent installation.
It’s amazing what people get up to (and down to) under stretch tents. Obviously weddings, birthday parties, business bashes and live music shows/festivals are among the obvious applications. The open sides, allowing free flow of fresh air as well as people, makes everyone feel welcome without that hemmed-in feeling and damp-grass odour of traditional marquees. As well as being stretchy, they’re easily scalable too – to expand your capacity, simply add more tents, connecting them to each other, freestanding or anchored to adjoining buildings. And, if the weather’s not ideal – no problem. Just stretch the edges closer to the ground or, for complete weatherproofing, add sides and door panels to keep your guests cosy whatever the weather.
There’s a lot more to stretch tents for hire than parties, though. They’re proving to be a major boost to the hospitality and catering sector these days. In pubs, clubs, venues, restaurants, sports clubs, and public spaces, stretch tents create a semi-permanent, attractive, and inviting covered environment so that customers can drink, dine, and dance in comfort all-year round. That way the business can monetise every metre of available space, from car parks to back alleys, patios, and rooftops. And unlike old-school marquees and A-Frames, stretch tents take uneven ground, awkward and irregular shaped sites, and obstacles such as garden walls, steps, fish ponds, trees, and telephone poles in their stride. In fact, it’s hard to think of anywhere you couldn’t fit one in!
It’s not all glamour and high life, though. We’ve seen countless innovative applications of stretch tents – in all the places you might expect to find a conventional marquee or gazebo, even more where you wouldn’t. Covering an outdoor swimming pool, for instance, serving as a stylish and cost-effect alternative to a garage or car port, providing a cosy socialising space between adjacent office buildings or even serving as a sleek additional sports pavilion for sports clubs enjoying a surge of success.
