How does stretch tent hire work?

Our stretch tents are an upgrade to traditional marquee hire. Everywhere you might want a marquee, gazebo or canopy you can place a stylish stretch tent. In fact, because of the increased flexibility and less rigid structure, stretch tents can fit in more places, including smaller areas, in odd shaped areas or on slopes. Stretch tent hire is a straightforward process and we’re here to help you at every stage.

The first step is to get in touch and tell us about your event. Our stretch tents are often hired in place of traditional marquees or awnings. Wherever you might be thinking of marquee tent hire, you can use a stretch tent, for example, for a garden party, to create a space for a bar or food stand at a street fair or to create a covered space outside a pub.

Once we know a little about your event, we can do a site survey, from which we can advise on size and layouts for your stretch tents. When you are happy with your stretch tent setup, we’ll provide a quote. We can also start talking about any extras you might want – we can offer lighting, flooring, furniture and more.

Why Choose Stretch + Tents
For Your Marquee Tent Hire

You are about to discover why our stretch tents are a popular choice over traditional marquee tent hire. This section will cover the key differences that make our tents the smarter option, from their unique aesthetic appeal and incredible versatility to the peace of mind that comes with our professional service. You will see why Stretch + Tents is the right partner for your next event.

Stretch Tents
Are More Versatile

Constructed to fit in and around any environment seamlessly. Stretch Tents are a far more practical and flexible solution than traditional marquees or gazebos.

  • Split level terrains
  • Narrow gardens
  • Rooftops & balconies
  • Unconventional spaces
  • Uneven surfaces & slopes

Covers Are More Flexible Than Marquees

A stretch tent can be rigged over existing structures and objects to a height that suits you. Our highest poles are 5m so you have a lot of flexibility. You can use stretch tents to create intimate spaces, like a gazebo, or open covers, like with traditional marquee tents.

  • Trees, shrubs & garden patches
  • Walls, fences & archways
  • Vehicles & large installations
  • Water features & swimming pools

They Are Weatherproof, 
Wind & Fire Resistant

Our stretch tent manufacturers have worked hard to research, develop, and manufacture a fire retardant stretch fabric that will ensure your safety in the event of an accident. All our tents are certified fire retardant to EU and British Standards (BS7837:1996). So they can withstand winds of up to 42 mph, compared to standard marquees which withstand approx 30 mph.

Set Up Your Stretch
Tent To Suit Your Event

Stretch tents offer versatile and flexible cover, allowing you to customise how many sides are up (or down) and how it fits into your space in a way that works for your event.

Our marquees can be connected to buildings, maximising the footprint inside the tent, or have the edges pulled down to the ground to create a more enclosed space. The canvas can be constructed to fit in and around any environment seamlessly making them a far more practical and flexible solution to traditional marquee hire.

A stretch tent can be rigged over existing structures and objects to a height that suits you. Because our highest poles are 5m you have lots of flexibility with rigging! You can choose to have any number of sides up or down and the set up can be designed to suit your event.

All Sides Up

A popular rigging style to create an open cover for summer events, markets or rain cover.  This also works well when connected to buildings, maximising the space inside the tent.

All Sides Down

Depending on the environment and season, our Stretch Tents can have the edges pulled down to the ground to create a more enclosed space. Being in the UK we must anticipate the weather not being all that we had hoped for, so we can always change the set up on the day.

Flexible Rigging

Stretch tent rigging is flexible so you can decide on the day how you want the sides of the tent to be. You can choose to have any number of sides up or down. The set up can be designed to suit your event. For example, an outdoor cinema would suit having 3 sides down leaving the longest edge open for viewing.

“We have always been looking for a solution for our outdoor space during the Winter and COVID simply strengthened the need for this. Alex visited the site the same day and was professional and motivated about the project. So a few weeks later his team were on site pitching our stretch tent. Stretch + Tents are now without doubt my go to for this form of work.”

Why Stretch Tents Are
Better Than Other Tent Options

Stretch Tent Vs Marquee

Marquee Tents are made from a PVC material which limits versatility. But our Stretch Tents, by contrast, use a unique stretch material that allows for peaks of varying height, giving the structure far more dimension.

The ease of rigging a Stretch Tent marquee allows for a wide open covering. We can create sloped edges with a single seamless piece of canvas. Or we can utilise wall panels, all down to the simplicity nature of the tent.

Stretch Tent Vs Gazebo Hire

Gazebo hires are appealing for events and weddings because they are quick and easy to install, and because they are durable, weather resistant coverings. However Stretch Tents offer the same fast and effortless installation but with increased ability to deal with heavy rain and strong winds, even for smaller sized rigs.

Stretch Tent Vs A Frame Hire

A Stretch Tent canopy can meet your event needs in so many ways, its smooth canvas creates a beautiful neat covering unlike an often creased Gazebo top. Plus a Stretch Tent is held up by beautiful wooden or metal poles instead of a frame like a Gazebo – allowing for multiple rigging styles. All in all we say Stretch Tents win hands down!

Stretch marquees can easily be styled to suit your exact needs and provide the same complete coverage that gazebo offer. If you are looking for a large gazebo for hire, a stretch marquee may in fact be the answer.
