A wide span for large crowds
The festival tent is set up for concerts, food festivals and cultural events where hundreds of people are present at the same time. It stops rain or sun from disrupting the programme. The width can be chosen between 10 and 40 m, and its modular structure lets it be extended to the length of the event site.
The same tent can be arranged as a concert tent, a stage tent or a trade-fair hall. For smaller receptions and launches, event tent models are more suitable.
Structural calculation for a large span
As the span grows, so does the load the tent has to carry in the wind. That is why we calculate the structural sizes and the fixing for the wind and snow load of the region where the tent will be installed. We draw the project in SketchUp and AutoCAD.
A wide-span festival tent must not be installed without a wind-load calculation. The sections of the load-bearing frame and the anchoring are chosen according to this calculation.
Installation sequence
- The ground is surveyed and a site plan is drawn up
- The anchoring and fixing system is installed
- The load-bearing structure is assembled
- The PVC covering is tensioned and the details are completed
Installation time depends on the size of the tent. We confirm the schedule together with the quote.
Model options
| Model | Load-bearing system | Tarpaulin | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compact event tent | Aluminium | 650 g/m² PVC | Small events |
| Professional festival tent | Reinforced steel | 750-850 g/m² PVC | Large events |
| Heavy-duty event tent | Reinforced frame | 900 g/m² PVC | Long-term use |
| Custom project | Project-specific design | To the project | Special needs such as backstage or VIP areas |
The covering is UV-resistant and waterproof. On request, DIN 4102 B2 (normally flammable) PVC tarpaulin is used. The test report from our supplier Kaya Plastik rates the tarpaulin as DIN 4102-1 class B2. A summary of the report is on our documents page. If stands and sales units will also be set up on the festival site, smaller trade-fair and funfair tents can be used around the main tent. For municipal events you can also look at our municipal tent page.
Tell us the size of the event site, the date and the expected number of participants, and we will design the project and prepare a quote.
