Robust, durable, professional: the technical features of our folding tents in detail

What makes our folding pavilions so stable: aluminium hexagonal profiles with a diameter of 45 mm or 57 mm for maximum durability in every application.

When purchasing a folding tent, it is not only the design that counts, but above all the technology – because stability, durability and ease of use are crucial for professional use. That is why we rely on high-quality, well-designed components for our folding pavilions, which impress even under demanding conditions. In this article, you will learn about the technical features that set our folding tents apart – in particular the two available profile thicknesses: Ø 45 mm and Ø 57 mm.

Aluminium hexagonal profiles: The basis for stability

The frame is the heart of our folding tents so we rely on robust aluminium profiles with a hexagonal cross-section. Why is that? The hexagonal shape provides significantly more stability and torsional rigidity than conventional square profiles. At the same time, the weight remains pleasantly low, ideal for mobile use.

Ø 45 mm profile – the strong all-rounder

Our folding tents with a 45 mm thick aluminium profile offer an optimal balance between weight and stability. They are perfect for regular use at markets, trade fairs, club events or private functions. Despite their light weight, they are extremely robust and resistant to wind and weather.

Advantages:

  • Support legs made of hexagonal profile Ø 45 mm and a material thickness of 1.5 mm made of anodised aluminium
  • Robust roof scissor profiles measuring 26 x 13 mm and with a material thickness of 1.5 mm made of anodised aluminium 
  • Stable connecting elements made of 30% glass fibre reinforced plastic 
  • Ideal for frequent use in commercial and private settings
  •  Long service life thanks to corrosion-resistant materials
  • Locking mechanism with convenient locking pins with pull rings
  • All connections are screwed for easy handling, even in the event of repairs
  • All components are available as spare parts and can be replaced quickly and easily

Ø 50 mm profile – for the highest demands

If you need maximum load capacity, choose the 50 mm thick aluminium profile. It is used wherever maximum stability is required, for example at large events, in catering or in particularly harsh weather conditions.

Advantages:

  • Support legs made of hexagonal profile Ø 57 mm and with a material thickness of 2.0 mm, particularly thick-walled and stable
  • Robust roof scissor profiles measuring 35 x 18 mm with a material thickness of 1.8 mm made of anodised aluminium 
  • Robust connecting elements made of cast aluminium
  • Locking mechanism with convenient locking pins with pull rings
  • Perfect for professional applications with high demands
  • Extremely robust in wind, rain or intensive use
  • Durable construction for long-term use
  • All connections are screwed for easy handling, even in the event of repairs
  • All components are available as spare parts and can be replaced quickly and easily

Further technical highlights of our folding pavilions

In addition to their sturdy frames, our folding tents offer numerous other features that make them ideal for professional use:

  • Fabric roofs made of polyester coated with PVC on one side (450 g/m²)
    Tear-proof, lightfast, UV-resistant, waterproof and flame-retardant with additional corner and gable protectors, tension straps and guy rope eyelets for the supplied guy rope set. 
  • Roof gable with integrated compression spring 
    ensures that the roof remains taut at all times, preventing water pockets from forming when it rains and ensuring ideal wind load distribution in gusty conditions
  • Multi-stage height adjustment 
    Your folding tent can be adjusted to the desired passage or ridge height depending on your needs and location, or to compensate for uneven ground or kerbs.
  • Easy to transport and tool-free assembly 
    Thanks to the compact packaging size of our folding pavilions, they can be transported in a normal-sized car and, thanks to the clever scissor system, can be set up without any tools and are ready for use in no time at all.

Conclusion: Technology you can rely on

Whether for small promotional stands or large event tents, our folding pavilions feature sophisticated technology in every detail. The choice of the right series and size depends on your area of application and the desired load capacity.
