Why should you opt for tensile structures in event planning? They let you organise your event wherever you want and create a space tailored to the number of guests. What is more, you can adjust the marquees to fit your overall decor and the weather conditions. Do you want to find out more? Then read on!
To understand the versatility of tensile structures, it is best to look at the benefits they come with. What are they? Here is a short list.
The main advantage of tensile structures is that you can install them almost anywhere – all you have to do is have enough space for your tents. Naturally, uneven ground might make it a bit more difficult, yet there are flooring solutions that can prevent that from affecting your events.
To add to that, many tensile structures, like poleadions, can be sealed. This means that they will fulfil their role and provide a comfortable environment for your guests even in the colder seasons. This flexibility not only lets you pick the most convenient location for your event, but also saves on the high costs of renting a permanent venue.
Another advantage of tensile structures that adds to their versatility is the number of options you have regarding the materials. For example:
This range of options lets you adjust the tents to your needs and the weather conditions outside, hence enabling you to create the perfect event environment. At the same time, you can select the right colours for your tents that will match the overall event theme or your brand.
The type of tent is also another element that you can modify. For example, pagodas have high-peaked roofs that look beautiful for weddings and as photo backgrounds. On the other hand, opera tents work great for music events due to their excellent acoustics. You can make a major difference in your guests’ experience just by choosing the right type of tent design.
Have you ever felt that no regular venue fits your event? That the available options are either too spacious or not big enough? With tensile structures, this is no longer a problem.
One of their main advantages is that they can be adjusted according to your needs. Stretch tents and pagodas, for example, can be connected to build larger structures. Clearspans, on the other hand, have a set width but can be modified in length. As a result, all you need is an outdoor space large enough to fit your structure, and you will be able to accommodate the exact number of guests you’re willing to invite or sell tickets to.
Even if you do not have a fully open space, this is not a problem. Many marquees can be attached to fixed columns or other fixed elements, enabling you to fit them in almost any environment.
Even the best outdoor event might be ruined by unpredictable weather conditions, such as rain or extensive sun. Yet, tensile structures are prepared for all of that.
If you pick a non-transparent yet breathable roof, your guests will be secure from rain and sunshine – it won’t get too hot inside of the tents in cases of extensive heat, while no rain will penetrate the roof. Do you feel that you still need some natural light to make it inside the tents? Then, opt for transparent walls. As you can see, your structure can become truly weatherproof just due to the flexibility of the tents.
To truly feel the versatility of event tents, you need to understand how to select the right one. Don’t worry, though – you can read our guide on choosing the perfect marquee for your event or take a look at a short excerpt from it that underlines the most important factors you need to consider.
As you can see, event tensile structures are exceptionally versatile – they will be a good fit for any type of event. Add to that the fact that you don’t need to purchase your tents – you can rent them instead – and it makes them the perfect choice for any occasion.
