A scissor-frame tent is a portable tent whose supporting frame is a folding scissor mechanism, so it can be set up and taken down quickly. It protects materials, equipment or temporary stock from the weather in storage and field areas. The same system is also chosen for fairs, markets and promotion areas.
How it differs from a large warehouse tent
Wide-span warehouse tents are designed to stay in the same place for a long time. A scissor-frame tent is for smaller sizes and for jobs that move often. We build scissor-frame tents from 3 to 10 m wide, 5 to 30 m long and 2.5 to 5 m high. If you need a wider area or a permanent warehouse, a PVC warehouse tent or a modular warehouse tent is the better choice.
The advantage of a scissor-frame tent is the speed of setup and take-down. For a large exposed area where the tent will stay a long time, a wide-span warehouse tent is the better choice.
When to choose a scissor-frame tent
A scissor-frame tent is a practical option when you need cover for short-term material protection, a temporary stock area next to a production site, or equipment that moves often. Thanks to the folding frame, the tent can be packed up where it stands and opened again at another point.
Tarpaulin and fixing
The cover is a UV- and water-resistant PVC tarpaulin. On request we use a DIN 4102 B2 (normally flammable) PVC tarpaulin. The test report of our supplier Kaya Plastik rates the tarpaulin in class DIN 4102-1 B2. A summary of the report is on our documents page. Before installation we measure the site and check the ground.
If you are looking for smaller, foldable models for events and stands, see our accordion tent category.
We quote the price by size and tarpaulin choice. Tell us the size of the area you want to cover and where and for how long you will use the tent, and we will set the right size and prepare a quote.
