Questions and answers
- What is a Stretch Tent?
- A Stretch Tent is a large piece of waterproof material stretched taut over freestanding poles of various heights to create the desired layout. They come in multiple colours and are made from polycotton stretch fabric that is flame retardant and anti-microbial.
- What's the difference between a Stretch Tent and a marquee?
- Traditional marquees are often square, walled with plastic coated fabric, making them perfect for smaller soirees. Stretch tents are versatile structures that can be installed almost anywhere and can reduce sound levels in built-up areas.
- Can a Stretch Tent have walls?
- Yes. Bespoke wooden walling is available for longer installations, creating usable year-round spaces. Black lycra is also offered as a temporary walling option, positioned about 1 metre from the ground.
- What surfaces can a Stretch Tent be installed on?
- Stretch Tents can be set up on almost any surface — grass, decking, concrete, patios, rooftops. Ballast weights enable installation on surfaces where pegging is not possible.
- Can Stretch Tents be as big as a marquee?
- Yes. Intent has pioneered an innovative truss structure that can encompass multi-level platforms for large-scale events like festivals.
- Are your Stretch Tents health and safety approved?
- Yes. All relevant safety documentation is provided and the tents are inherently fire retardant. Intent Productions is a proud member of industry health and safety board MUTA and provides full RAMS as standard.
- Are your Stretch Tents just in London?
- No, they cover the South East, South West and around the UK upon request.
- Are Stretch Tents waterproof?
- Yes, they are 100% waterproof and the perfect covering for pub gardens or festival stages.
- Can I rig a Stretch Tent myself?
- No, stretch tents require training and instruction in order to rig safely.
- Do Stretch Tents come in different colours?
- Yes, stretch tents can be designed in multiple colour ways.
