What we do
One canopy, any ground
A stretch tent is a tensile membrane, not a frame. Poles go where the site allows, edges go up or down, and tents link into bigger spaces. It rigs on sand, grass, desert and decks, freestanding or tied to a building.
Custom fit
Canopies patterned to a patio, rooftop, pool deck or courtyard for restaurants, hotels and private homes.
Sales
Freeform® tents, side walls, printed linings and rigging hardware, imported and landed in the US. When you buy a tent, our riggers train your staff in setup, care and maintenance.
Rentals
Delivered, rigged and struck by our crew. Single tents for a backyard, linked tents for a festival or a field.
Rigging crews
Experienced stretch tent riggers for your own inventory, from a one-day install to a full festival build.
Custom prints and branding
Your brand on the canopy
Print a logo, a sponsor’s campaign or your own artwork across the tent, on top where it is seen from outside or underneath where guests stand. Choose from 50+ ready patterns or send us a design.

Side walls
Dropsides in clear PVC or fabric close a tent in completely, with zip openings for doors. Both can carry branding.
Printed linings
Over 50 catalogue patterns, or your own artwork and branding, fitted on top or underneath.
