Stretch Tent Quick Turnarounds

It’s all about communication. We like to be honest with our clients. If we’re honest about the services and products we can provide in the desired deadline, our clients don’t get any nasty surprises.

Recently, our US sales executive found himself servicing a high profile music festival (ok, we’ll say it, it was Coachella!), ‘The Coachella order was very tight but we were pretty well able to get them most of the products for their date, sadly we couldn’t get all of it there until a few days later but they knew that going in and were still very happy to have most of the order.” There you go… honesty is the best policy!

Oh, and Expedited Shipping certainly helps speed up the timeline on tight deadlines.

 

Be assured, we always have products readily available to ship, however it may not always be in the colour or size you wish to purchase. Flexibility is key with a tight deadline, we can either compromise on size or configuration or ship an equal-quality product to meet your deadline.

Technology at its best

Varying in size, the Retractable Tunnel expands and contracts at your will or its purpose. When extended, the structure is completely secure. If high winds persist, additional fixed anchors are there to reinforce the security of the structure. Smooth open and shut thanks to the nylon wheels which run on galvanized lift proof tracks. The Pantograph Tensioning System is what makes it strong and secure.

Modifications are accepted. This product is versatile, which means you’ll get the exact solution to fill your needs. Both sides of the polyester fabric is lacquered with a protective gloss.

Blendable colours are your choice:

  • white

That said, clear roofing is popular, ideal for letting natural light in. Branding and logo detailing is essential for any business. The fact is the material is strong so all of this personalization is possible.

Fresh Ideas at Music Festivals

Posted on by Stretch Blogger

They looked at tenting in a whole new way…

Big-time music festivals are all the rage! Coachella, Tomorrowland, Exit, Splendor in the Grass… these music meccas are successful on a large scale. Like any good festival, there’s a select group of organizers that have the brains and brawn to make it work, and here’s how …

Fresh

These guys may not be staging a music festival, but they were a client who thought ‘outside the box’ with their accommodation approach. We saw high-quality stretch tents suited to any need; our client saw a groovy and fresh take on their accommodation issue – glamping it will be! Check out the Larapinta trail campsite project

Read how the ultimate travelling band, The Scallywags run their own event, Field Good Music, as well as appearing all over the UK. And with them all the way is their trusty bright yellow Bedouinflex Stretch Tent attached to their tour bus – their signature draw card!

Why Stretch Structures?

Stretch Structures are proud of their tents USP’s:

  • Durability
  • Superior quality
  • Withstands ALL weather conditions
  • Variety of colours to choose from
  • Variety of sizes and shapes to configure
  • Great value for money

What’s Right for You?

When determining what size your custom tent or custom structure should be, you should take several things into consideration:

  • only be used for a particular event or for many different events?
  • how many people will inhabit it?
  • what kind and what size of furniture might be used in it?
  • are there any size requirements or restrictions at the event you are holding or attending?

Thinking ‘Outside the Box’

Many people, when thinking of a custom event structure, automatically think of a boxy white structure with poles, pegs and tie downs. But the fact is that there is a whole world of extraordinary event structures out there, just waiting to be customized by you.

Among them are:

These options allow you to ‘think outside of the box’ and get an easy to set-up, easy to transport structure that can be used in a variety of locations, no matter how large or small, with or without poles. The flexibility of these types of non-traditional event structures allows you to use them almost anywhere and for any type of event.  

So, whether its an intimate gathering in the back garden; a launch event for 200 people or a large-scale music festival using a misting tunnel to cool down party goers – we’ve got you covered.

Making an impact with my Stretch Structure

Posted on by Stretch Blogger

3 Tips to help get the maximum benefit from your stretch structure

If you think of an event and your presence at that event – what is the first thing that comes to mind? How Do I Make A Memorable Impact?

In general, the earlier you start planning, the better. From weddings to baby showers to product launches and corporate parties, the sooner you can formulate the plan, the less stress you’ll have throughout the entire planning process.

The first step in planning any event is to create a timeline. This ensures you stay on track and don’t forget important things along the way. Your timeline can vary greatly from event to event and there are several things that can impact your timeline.

These are just a few things you need to think about when creating your timeline and planning your event.

1. The type of event

If you are interested in planning a stand-alone event, you’ll need to allow for ample time. On the other hand, if you are attending a festival or conference that is being planned by others, your planning will be minimal. Many companies use our Clearspan Stretch Pods or branded inflatable structures to attend festivals and outdoor events where they can meet their customers one on one and create a statement with very little planning needed. Stretch structures can provide custom designs and branding to ensure your products are properly featured and get the attention they deserve. Things to think about at these types of events include your setup space, who will be attending, what the main focus will be, and how to get your potential customers to remember your brand.

2. The size of your event

If you are planning your own event, the size can greatly determine the necessary timeline. A stand at a food and wine festival won’t take as much time to prepare as your daughter’s wedding. Events that are reoccurring are often easy to tweak from year to year. Perhaps you need to consider reinvigorating your design with our lights and furniture to bring new flair to the otherwise same ole party. A one time larger event will require much more thought and planning. Our stretch tents and accessories are a great place to start and will add immediate impact to your event. We have tents from 4.5m x 6m up to 20m x 30m. Many events such as weddings take a year to plan, so locking in one of our marquees will allow you to plan the rest of your event within the theme design.

3. Where the event will be held and the demands for prime locations

What’s your location? And not just the specific location, but what city or town will be hosting your event? If you are in a highly populated city, the search for a venue will take much longer than a small town. Venues often book out at least a year in advance, which can add quite a bit of time to your planning. If you are in a city with venues that are in high demand it’s important to begin this search right away. Often the availability of venues will determine the exact date of your event and the theme. If you have your heart set on a beautiful hotel ballroom that’s already booked, you’ll need to expand your search and think outside the box. Perhaps there’s a beautiful park close by that Stretch Structures can help you transform into a ballroom. Begin with checking out our funky Pagodas and Clearspan Structures, which can be fully enclosed. We have the accessories and products to create that magical place you have always dreamt about.

Celebrating community spirit with an Axion Marquee

Franklin Law Firm use an Axion Lite to invest in the community

Happily – it seems that people do care!

When you think of local, small businesses, you often think of the opportunities they create to connect with their local community. What better way to connect than to give back. A fine example is Franklin Law in New Zealand who have invested in an eye-catching AXION Lite 44 with branded side walls and visor, which is used for the community events they sponsor. 

Franklin Law Firm - Axion Lite

A recent sponsored event was the Fulton Swim School Franklin Primary Schools Triathlon. It’s a community event for up to 400 local school children. Franklin Law are promoting participation in sports. At the Triathlon event they hosted a shop/ cake stall in their new branded Axion marquee, with proceeds going to the local school.
Franklin Law - Axion Lite

They care about their environment, the next generation and their community. Giving back to the community that you call home is one of the most rewarding things you can do. It connects people in more ways than one imagines: socially, economically, environmentally and further up-side is that it helps improve the community morale overall.

Choosing a project can enhance and improve the infrastructure that already exists, consider these: 

  • post-season litter clean-up
  • food bank restock
  • community gardening initiative
  • group fitness day
  • community volunteering
