Guest numbers are approximate typical capacities per layout, based on about 1 guest per m² standing, 0.9 per m² in theatre rows and 0.55 per m² at dinner tables. They depend on furniture, bar, stage and walkways. All dimensions are approximate; due to the stretch and shrinkage of the fabric and normal production variations, final dimensions may differ by up to 2 %. Weights are shipping weights of the complete set on the pallet.
How to choose a stretch tent size
Start from the layout, not the number of guests. The same tent holds far more standing guests than seated dinner guests: a 10.5 x 7.5 m tent takes about 80 guests standing, 45 at dinner tables and 70 in theatre rows. Decide first how the space will be used, then read the matching column.
Reserve space for what is not a seat. A bar, buffet, stage, dance floor or catering area takes room from the guest area. Count that area separately and choose the next size up if in doubt.
Rectangular or star-shaped. The rectangular sets from 7.5 x 5 m to 21 x 15 m are the standard for dinners, receptions and hospitality terraces. The Cocktail sets (4 x 4 and 5 x 5 m) and the octagonal Octo tents (6 and 8 m across the corner points) are compact standing-reception tents with a striking star-shaped silhouette.
Douglas or Robinia poles. Both sets contain the same canvas. Douglas poles are sawn, sanded and treated wood with a diameter of 75 mm. Robinia poles are naturally grown hardwood, peeled and sanded, 70 to 90 mm in diameter and heavier; the natural shape varies per pole. Robinia has durability class 1, Douglas class 3.
