FAQ

A sweeping expanse of highly constructed and incredibly strong and stretchable material that stretches taut, supported by multiple upright poles, to cover areas of almost any shape and size with an elegance that’s simply stunning.

As their timeless ‘Bedouin’ style suggests, stretch tents originated in the African continent – and South Africa in particular is to this day the place to source the world’s best stretch tents. Yes, cheaper Chinese imitations are available – but if you value your event (and your reputation), you’ll invest in a stretch tent that won’t let you down. Ours are of the highest quality available anywhere – and we know that for sure because we’ve visited the Cape Town manufacturer’s production facility to check in person that they meet our highest expectations.

Yes of course. Whether you’re buying or hiring, we can provide pretty much anything you could need. Any or all of the following are available individually or as a complete package (have a look at the extras packages we suggest to accompany your stretch tent hire in various sizes from Extra Small to Extra Large and more).

Staging
Tables
Chairs
Rustic seating options
Uplighting
Matting

Heating

And then there are those smaller, but no less essential items that add a sprinkle of magic, such as:

Outdoor lanterns
Rope lights
Fairy lights and so on…

If there’s anything else you can think of, please don’t hesitate to ask. Because we’re also wedding, festival and corporate event professionals you might be surprised at the range of equipment we’ve accumulated – and that we can source through our extensive network of contacts.

Please have a look at the sizes and packages on our stretch tents for hire page for an overview of the shapes and sizes available (even if you’re thinking of buying).

Then why not get in touch and tell us exactly what you have in mind: expected dates and times, attendance numbers, site layout, theme, entertainment (Band? DJ? Cabaret?), dance floor, lighting… The more information you can give us the better so we can put together a package proposal that makes your vision real.

Yes, we certainly can! With skirts, doorways, and sides carefully fitted – and even heating installed – you’ll be amazed how totally weatherproof and cosy a stretch tent can be – even in British winter weather.

Although the worst of the pandemic is behind us, we are of course still mindful of our clients’ and their guests’ and our own staff’s health and continue to adhere to Covid-19 best practice.

Yes! With the appropriate permissions, where necessary, we can attach your stretch tent to your existing permanent buildings or structures to create a stylish temporary or even semi-permanent extension that fits in so comfortably it’s as if it grew there organically.

You don’t need any power for the stretch tent itself – but you will do for any lighting or other extras. Generally that simply means access to a 13amp socket or two – we’ll let you know if you require anything more, and all cables are included.

Don’t worry – we’ve got you covered!

Our stretch tents are completely waterproof – and even when we join them together, our proven gutter system ensure they’re totally drip-free. What’s more, if it looks like rain, we simply draw the sides closer to the ground or even fit skirts, sides, and doorways for complete protection against anything the British weather can throw at us.

Yes!

Yes of course. We’re always happy to come and survey the setting in advance and offer our insights and advice. And if it’s tricky in any way – uneven, multi-level, restricted or unusually shaped space or difficult access for instance – we’ll definitely need to carry out a detailed assessment before putting together the perfect stretch tent solution.
