Folding tents & folding pavilions: Overview of applications and suitable sizes

Folding tents and folding pavilions are versatile companions for almost any occasion: whether commercial, private or charitable. They can be set up quickly and without tools, offer protection from the weather and sun, and are available in various sizes such as 2x2 m, 3x3 m, 3x4.5 m or 3x6 m. In this article, we will show you the most common areas of application and help you find the right folding tent for your needs.

1. Markets and sales stands

Folding pavilions are the first choice for traders at weekly markets, town festivals and craft fairs. They offer a mobile sales area, are weatherproof and easy to transport. Models measuring 2x2 m or 3x3 m are particularly suitable for smaller stands, while a 4.5x3 m folding tent creates additional space for more goods or customer contact.

2. Events, promotion and trade fairs

Folding tents offer a professional presentation space for promotional campaigns, outdoor trade fairs or festivals. Thanks to printing options on the roof or side walls, folding pavilions can be perfectly adapted to your corporate design. Sizes such as 4.5x3 m or 6x3 m offer enough space for advertising material, technology or staff. If more space is required, several folding tents can be quickly and easily connected and made weatherproof with optional connecting clips and roof gutters.

3. Gastronomy and catering

Folding pavilions are ideal solutions for food trucks, street food stands or mobile catering at weddings, company parties or outdoor events. They create covered guest areas, weather protection for buffets or counters and can be expanded modularly. Particularly popular here are 3x3 m and 3x6 m tents with accessories such as rain gutters and side walls.

4. Construction and crafts

Folding tents are also used on construction sites, during assembly work or for mobile applications. They serve as weather protection for machines, work materials or personnel. Especially in sizes 3x3 m or 4.5x3 m, they are compact enough for mobile use, yet robust and stable enough for daily use.

5. Protection and rescue

Whether for the police, fire brigade, ambulance service, military or civil defence, folding tents are also ideal for quickly and easily creating mobile, protective spaces. Our scissor tents have proven themselves as command centres, medical tents or rescue tents. The 3x3 m and 4.5x3 m sizes are particularly popular here. 

6. Club life, sporting events and schools

Sports clubs, youth organisations and schools use folding pavilions for tournaments, information stands or as a place to hang out at events. The tents provide a sheltered space, are easy to transport and can be printed with club colours or logos. Popular sizes: 2x2 m for information points, 6x3 m for larger groups.

7. Private use in the garden or at parties

Folding tents are a practical solution for birthday parties, barbecues, weddings or simply as shade in the garden. They offer protection from the sun and rain and can be stored in a space-saving manner. A 2x2 m folding pavilion is suitable for small areas, while a 3x3 m or 4.5x3 m tent offers additional comfort.
