As the name suggests, star tents are known for distinct and unique star shapes. Unlike traditional pop-up tents, which feature straight legs, star marquees have one or two legs at the center and a number of expanding fabric sides that are staked into the ground. When you complete the installation, these tents resemble the shape of a star. Star tents are designed in such a way that they can be easily portable and set up at outdoor events without breaking much sweat.
Their design not only catches your eye but they are also quite stable. Additionally, star tents’ expanding sides can be comfortably staked at varying lengths to accommodate a variety of space requirements.
There are different types of star tents available in the market like arch tents and single pole tents. In this blog, we will tell you about these canopies in detail. Read on…
ARCH TENT
Arch tents are unique and use an arch design in their frames for support. Like other instant tents and pop-up canopies, arch tents are staked at four corners. However, there is a difference. Unlike other tents, the four corners are connected to each other by an arch frame. This design is not only aesthetically appealing but also strengthens the tent.
The arch tent creates a dynamic and angular look in sharp contrast to standard square-shaped event marquees and instant canopies. The framework is designed to create a curved look and you can also find an aesthetically functional roof ventilation system as well in some of these tents. The star marquees also feature an easy-to-use awning system that curves around from each leg to create a doorway on any of the five potential entrances.
These days, you can also add custom printing to the tent and stand out at your next outdoor event!
FAQs:
- Can the awnings be printed as well?
- Yes, you can print on the awning and the roof.
- Can the tent be set up alone?
- The tent can be set up alone. However, we recommend that you bring in another pair of hands to set up the tent.
- How are the tents installed?
- Arch tents are typically assembled by piecing together aluminum tubing which is connected using a steel central connection piece.
SINGLE POLE STAR TENT
Single pole star tents are unique shaped tensioned fabric structures that are supported by a single pole and ground up tension. They are quick to set up and dismantle and can be used for a variety of events, club meetings, school fairs and sporting events. They are a good choice for brand promotion and exposure and come in various sizes, colors and fabric types.
You can custom print the fabric as well to include any graphics or colors. Typically, single pole star tents are made from a strong telescopic aluminum pole that is fitted inside the roof. To install the star tent, you can simply lift the pole into position and put the steel pins in the ground before adjusting the ropes.
