They offer a wonderfully neutral space which you can then decorate to suit your event theme. We do not currently stock decorations, although we do stock a lot of additional hire items which you can find here.

7. How long does it take to set up a stretch tent?
The setup time depends on the tent size and location but typically ranges from a couple of hours to a full day. Our experienced team ensures a smooth and efficient installation. They are a lot quicker to erect than marquees and tipis.

12. Can I purchase a stretch tent instead of hiring?
Yes, we supply high-quality stretch tents for purchase. Contact us for details on available sizes, colors, and pricing.

13. What happens in case of bad weather?
Our stretch tents are designed for all-weather use, but we always discuss back-up options with you to ensure your event runs smoothly. For example, window panels can be added to any of our stretch tents to provide extra protection from the elements. You can also book patio gas heaters from us for use inside the tents to provide extra warmth.

14. Why choose a stretch tent instead of a marquee?
Stretch tents offer a more modern and stylish look compared to traditional marquees. Their free-flowing design eliminates the need for rigid frames, making them more adaptable to different spaces and terrains. They also require fewer dressings, creating a natural, elegant aesthetic.

15. How do stretch tents compare to tipis?
While tipis provide a rustic charm, stretch tents offer greater flexibility in shape and setup. They can cover larger or uniquely shaped areas, provide better weather protection, and allow for open-sided configurations to enhance views and ventilation.

16. Are stretch tents more versatile than traditional marquees or tipis?
Yes! Unlike marquees, which have a fixed structure, or tipis, which require specific setups, stretch tents can be adjusted in height, shape, and anchoring points to suit any space. They can be installed on slopes, over pools, or integrated with existing structures.

17. Do you offer site visits before booking?
Yes, we can arrange a site visit if required to assess your event location, discuss setup options, and ensure that the stretch tent will be a perfect fit for your space and requirements.

18. Can stretch tents be heated for colder months?
Yes! We offer heating solutions such as patio heaters and enclosed sides to keep your guests warm and comfortable during colder weather.
