How can i identify a tent, temporary structure, marquee and canopy?
Tent – A tent is a temporary structure composed of a
covering made of a pliable membrane or fabric, supported by such
mechanical means as poles, metal frames, beams, columns, arches, ropes
and/or cables. Also referred to as a marquee, canopy or pavilion.
Tensile Structure – A permanent fabric structure that relies on the tensioning of the fabric roof for its structural integrity and shape. Also referred to as a tension structure or tensioned-membrane structure.
Tensile tent – A temporary fabric structure that shares some characteristics with the pole-supported tent, but relies more on the tensioning of the fabric roof for its structural integrity and shape. The use of tensioned fabric to resist applied loads and to shape the fabric membrane means less of a traditional support structure is needed to maintain it.
Temporary structure – Any structure such as a tent which will be in place for less than 180 consecutive days. Definition may vary according to individual building codes.
Marquee – A marquee is a canopy projecting over an entrance or doorway or a connecting canopy between two tents.
Canopy – An architectural fabric projection that provides weather protection, identity, and/or decoration and is ground-supported in addition to being supported by the building to which the canopy is attached. The term also can refer to a small tent, a tent without sidewalls or an awning.

What tent size is best for my special event?
A tent size is usually determined by its usage. If a tent is being used for standard event purposes, at least should contain tables that will allow 10-12 square feet per person. If cathedral type seating is being used, there should be rows of chairs that will allow 6 square feet per person.
If aisles and a speaker area are also needed, allow 8 square feet per person. If the purpose is for cocktail service, allow five to six square feet per person. Contact us today for the best advice on the best tent size for your marquee tent.

Hiring or buying a tent? Which is my best option?
The decision to buy or rent a tent has many variables. If the tent will be used for 3 or 4 times each year, it is probably better to rent the tent. Professionals also have the tools, washing facilities, and storage areas to maintain the tent when it is not in use. Your local rental professional often has long-standing relationships with the code enforcement officials, and other regulatory officials, which can make renting the preferred choice. Renting will also allow you to vary the color or size of tent according to your specific need.
Always go for quality tents that will last, at least, for a lifetime. Better still, click on this link to see the best event tent makers in Nigeria.
