The Frame style tent is more adaptable to its surroundings, allowing for more custom installations than the traditional pole tents. The frame tent, as you might imagine, has a frame structure that allows it to stand freely without the support of center poles and guy ropes. The structure makes it more capable to handle strong wings and snow loads. Although the frame tents are free-standing and do not rely on the tension of guys ropes, we still secure them with stakes, blocks, water barrels, etc. for added safety.

The stakes or weights on the frame tent can be installed close to the tent, creating more walking room around the tent and enabling it to be installed where there is limited space available. The frame tent is often used on construction sites where machinery might have to drive around and even under the tent. Frame tents are also commonly used on driveways, parking lots, or even on grass when customers prefer not to stake through the ground. We installed a 20′ x 40′ frame tent for a groundbreaking event in this time lapse video!

Frame tents are also used often for corporate events, commencements and weddings. Many corporate events or galas have a stage, screens, or presentations of some kind that guests are viewing. The lack of center poles means a great view from every seat and doesn’t limit the setup inside (ie. placement of staging, dancing, tables, seating, etc.) Even when we install other style tents, the frame tent can be a great accessory tent for a bar, cocktail space, catering or food prep and more!

40′ x 70′ With Fabric Liner
There are many ways to accessorize the frame tent. Most common is the gathered white tent liner. It is a silk-like fabric interior that is secured to the frame of the tent, hiding the frame and creating a soft look and feel. White leg drapes can be added to cover the side poles and complete the look! We offer a wide range of clear frame tents as well. The clear tents are amazing on a beautiful starry night, with accent lighting or surrounded by beautiful scenery. Our staff designed and fabricated some great custom drapery to accent the clear tent and hide the frame inside the tent. Some clients choose to keep it simple and some love to jazz it up, either way we have the perfect tent for every event!
