A qurbani tent is a temporary structure we set up before Eid al-Adha (Kurban Bayramı) to house and sell sacrificial animals. It is used in sales areas set by municipalities, in private livestock markets and on farms that sell seasonally. The galvanised steel frame and PVC tarpaulin can be dismantled and stored, so the same tent can be set up again every year.
What is expected of a tent at a livestock market?
A covered area alone is not enough. The pens where the animals wait, the feeders and water troughs, the walkway for customers, the vehicle access point and the cleaning area must all be in the same plan. Keeping the customer walkway from crossing the animal pens makes the site safer.
In a qurbani tent the calculation starts with the number of animals but does not end there. The feeders, water troughs, customer walkway and cleaning area must be in the same plan.
Example sizes
| Tent size | Covered area | Suitable use |
|---|---|---|
| 5 × 10 m | 50 m² | Small sales and holding area |
| 6 × 12 m | 72 m² | Medium-sized sales unit |
| 8 × 15 m | 120 m² | More room for animals and customer flow |
| 10 × 20 m | 200 m² | High-capacity sales and housing |
These sizes do not mean ready-made capacity. The whole area cannot be given to animals. Walkways and feeding points also take space. A site survey gives a more accurate result, especially for cattle sales.
Check the official requirements before installation
The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry sets the requirements for qurbani sales sites in a communiqué published every year. Provincial and district directorates follow the application. The text published for 2026 is the Communiqué on the Implementation of Qurbani Services for 2026. We recommend checking the current requirements in this text and with the local directorate before installation. We work the requirements you pass on to us into the layout plan.
Ventilation, flooring and fixing
In summer heat, closing the side curtains completely reduces air movement. Side openings, the ridge and, where needed, fan support are planned according to the tent volume, the number of animals and the prevailing wind direction.
The tent can be installed on concrete, a stabilised base or compacted ground. In regions with rainfall, slope, gutters and perimeter drainage are included in the project so that water does not collect inside. A muddy floor makes things hard for the animals and for cleaning. We use mechanical anchors or ballast on a concrete floor, and stakes and anchors on earth ground. The wind conditions of the region decide the choice.
Reusing it every year
After the holiday the tent you bought is taken down and stored, and it can be set up again next year on the same or a different plot. For municipalities and organisers that will set up several sales units, we draw the units together in a single layout plan. Our other animal shelters are on the livestock tents page.
Tell us the tent size, the type of animals, the estimated capacity and the province of installation on our contact page. We will draw up the layout plan and prepare a quote. The price is quoted per project.
