What Is a Frame Tent?
- A frame tent is a free-standing structure supported by a rigid metal frame instead of ropes and tent poles.
- It is also known as a clear-span tent, structure tent, aluminium frame marquee or event frame tent.
- Because the frame carries the load, the tent can be placed on concrete, asphalt, decking, grass or paving, using ballast weights where staking is not possible.
- The open interior gives you full layout freedom for round tables, banquet seating, stages, dance floors and buffet stations.
- Frame tents work as temporary tents for a weekend event or as semi-permanent structures for months or even years.
