Tent Definitions

Peg and Pole Marquees Tent

Traditional Pole Marquees - consist of canvas and more recently PVC, under tension by means of centre poles, side poles and guy ropes which are attached to ground stakes hammered into soft surfaces only such as a lawn or field. Hand made of white cotton canvas, traditional poled marquees are more attractive but much less practical and versatile than aluminium frame marquees. The modern PVC traditional pole marquee was introduced due to the material being easier to clean than woven canvas and giving them a longer hire life span.

Clear Span or Frame Tent

Aluminium Frame Marquees - Aluminium frame tents have no centre poles or guy ropes, can be erected on any surface and adjacent to buildings or annexe tents. Much more stable and can span a much wider area over pools, flower beds or trees.

Free Form, Moroccan, Nomadic or Bedouin Tents

A free form tent is made of a highly stretchable material. As soon as the sides of the free form tent is secured to any structure or stake, the poles could be lifted from the inside of the free form tent to create the stretch effect. More poles of different hights will also create tension on all the site ropes to make the structure secure.
