Stretch Tent Pole locations

We usually use three king poles for this set up. It’s possible to set the tent up in different ways for this set up. In the picture below we are asked to have six king poles set up so there is a aisle walkway with a curtain of fairy lights suspended above.  You can usually add poles wherever is needed so its possible to fit something unusual inside the tent. The only thing we have to watch out for is ensuring that any rain drains off the tent properly. We usually use alternating 2.2m and 2.7m poles. This helps with the drainage and ensures even very tall people can easily enter and exit the tent.

When stretch tents are set up as a canopy the sides are open and can be exposed. If its wet and windy rain can be blown into the tent. This isn't a problem if the tent being set up in a sheltered location. Some events can handle a bit of rain better than others. When set up as a canopy some caution is needed when postitioning electrical equipment  Alternatively the tent could be set up with sides brought down to the floor. This could just be on the side the prevailing wind was coming from. The set up decision can be made on the set up day. Although bringing walls to the floor eats into the useable space in the tent.

We can set these up to act as a physical barrier. They are also useful for maximising the size of the tent. We have lot's more photo's of our beatuful stretch tent's here.
