Stretch Tent on Hardstanding, Centenary Square Bradford
01 Feb, 2023
Typically stretch tents are secured using long stakes or pegs hit into the ground. It is possible to set a stretch tent up like this on hardstanding. With enough force we can pierce through tarmaccadam/asphalt surfaces. For harder ground such as concrete we can drill holes and use eyelet rawlbolts or shorter pegs. However this does end up leaving a hole in the ground which often isnt allowed by the landowners. When we aren’t allowed to peg into the ground to secure our stretch tents we often use ballast (otherwise known as weights).

We were contacted by Bell Hall Weddings with an emergency - they were hosting a wedding, and their own stretch-tent had been eaten by mice! Not to worry, we usually have plenty of stretch tents in stock available for hire and also have our excellent team on hand who go above and beyond to create beautiful spaces for wedding ceremonies, parties or festivals, and in this case, save the day.

ALARMS SET It was an incredibly early start for us at White Rose Tents to set up the Autotrader family funday at Alexander Park in Manchester, but we still loved it – especially as we all went for a greasy spoon fry up afterwards. Autotrader planned the event to reward all of their lovely staff for another successful year and put on a fantastic day for their employees and families.

Thanks to David for shooting the stop motion video of us setting up a 20x15m stretch tent . The tent hire was set up for a sky betting staff event at a new stretch tent event venue at Creskeld Hall, Creskeld Ln, Arthington, Bramhope, Otley LS21 1NT. The Venue Creskeld Hall is a old historic house built in the 1100’s and is now being set up as a new stretch tent event venue now taking bookings. You can contact them at creskeldhall@gmail.com for more information or to make a booking. Some of you may recognise the grade two listed venue as home farm from ITV’s Emmerdale . The venue has over 14,000 square meters of garden so there is a variety of places a stretch tent hire could work in. The gardens are open annually for the public to visit.

We had fun putting this stretch tent up for a wedding ceremony at Thwaite Mills in Leeds, West Yorkshire. The bride and groom wanted a stretch tent for 100 people in the grounds of these beautiful listed buildings. Getting Organised We’d visited the site before for one of our pre-site checks and had to assess the underground electrics to make sure our meter long stakes didn’t interfere with anything! After measuring up we found that the spot was a perfect fit for one of our smaller stretch tents. Here is a link to the completed set up. Here comes the bride The happy couple naturally wanted the aisle to be the focus of the tent and we achieved this by using extra king size poles. We decorated the stretch tent with a special fairy light curtain set up to create a magical setting and we also provided the flooring . We don’t just provide stretch tents, we can also provide anything and everything you might need to go with it.

Quick little promo video from the disco/cheese stretch tent at Balter festival 2017. What a great party. One of our 10x15m tent's set up so there is space for a 5m diameter rotating disco ball dj booth. This leaves a little bit of backstage space a great backdrop for lighting and space undercover for up to 200 people dancing. Here is a link to the full photo album . 10m x 15m stretch tent with decor, disco ball's, wooden poles and lighting
