Choosing the right clear span tent can be confusing, especially if it's your first time buying or if you need a structure for events, exhibitions, or temporary warehouses. Over the years, we've received many similar questions from global clients — from tent materials, customization options, production lead time, to installation and maintenance.
To help you better understand our aluminum frame tents, we've listed some of the most frequently asked questions below. Hopefully, this FAQ will give you a clear idea of how our clear span structures work and whether they are the right solution for your project.
1. What exactly is a Clear Span Tent? How is it different from a regular marquee?
A clear span tent is a tent structure with no interior poles. The entire space is open and fully usable, supported by aluminumalloy frames. This makes it ideal for events, exhibitions, storage, and temporary warehouses, compared to traditional pole tents or marquees.

2. What materials do you use for the tent frame and fabric? Are they durable?
The frame is made of high-strength aluminum alloy (6061/T6), which is anti-rust and corrosion-resistant. Connectors are hot-dip galvanized steel for extra stability. The fabric is PVC-coated polyester (650–850gsm), fully waterproof, UV-resistant, and fire-retardant (B1/M2 standard) — designed for long-term outdoor use.

3. Can the tent be customized?
Yes! Clear span tents are fully customizable. Spans range from 10m to 60m+, with unlimited length extensions (by 5m or 3m modules). Options include arched roof, A-frame, pagoda peak, double-decker tent, transparent roof covers, and custom
colors/branding. Perfect for both event rentals and industrial warehouses.

4. How long does it take to install? Is it complicated?
Thanks to the modular design, installation is fast:
* Small tents (20×30m) → 1–2 days
* Large tents (40×60m+) → 4–7 days with a professional team
