For a stretched canvas like the shade sail, the Nomad tent and
stretch as well as the Bamboo marquee, only one anchor per pole is not enough if it is not located in the tar.

For this, our teams have studied these constraints and propose for the fixing of our nomad tents and bamboo marquee for rent, metal plates. These accommodate from 1 to 4 spikes 25mm diameter twisted anchor with a depth of 500 to 1200mm. Your safety is important as well as that of our professional editing (Men of the Shadow).

Is it possible not to fix the structure and the tent in the ground?

Yes, we will replace the anchor in the ground with ballast (concrete block). This applies to all our products, namely the Nomade tent, the Crystal reception tent, the traditional structure, the Bamboo tent…

Our concrete blocks for hire are placed on all the poles of the reception tent.

For a Nomad tent, this requires more and more ballast because it does not have a frame. It cannot be installed without fixing in the ground or taking over the load by concrete blocks. The tension gives it its rigidity like a circus tent.

Can we set up a reception tent without making a hole in the ground?

The traditional structure, which has a metal frame, can stand on its own without anchoring. It also needs to be fixed either in the ground or with ballast.

However, it is possible to fix in tar and reseal this anchor with a resin in the color of the mix and the imprint of the hole will have completely disappeared.
