Tension Frame Tents look nearly identical to the Standard Frame Tent, sharing the same footprint. The difference is in the set up. Tension Frame Tents are designed to reduce installation and teardown time. The reinforced tension valance eliminates the interior buckle line (except in the mid center), preventing rain pockets from forming. Ratchet ropes are used to secure the tent top to the frame. It has a tighter, smoother and more streamlined appearance. The Tension Frame Tent uses 2″ aluminum poles and stainless steel fittings to construct a free-standing, self-supporting structure. The tent top consists of heavy-duty vinyl tent fabric with a smooth arched valance. This highly durable tent is certified fire retardant, permitted as overnight structure and if properly installed, has a wind load of up to 50mph. Graphics can be directly printed on the tent top and valance or applied as removable or permanent decals.

Tension Frame Tents are available starting at 10ft x 10ft and go up to 40ft width and near unlimited length.

Tension Frame Tents offer the following advantages:

• Most parts are interchangeable with the Standard Frame Tent
• Tent tops can be modified to expand in length
• Leg poles can be adjusted using expandable base plates
• Tents have sidewall ropes sewn into tent top for optional sidewall/backdrop add-ons
