Clear Span Tents

A clear span tent is a sturdy aluminum frame structure that does not require internal poles to support tent fabric. A heavy duty extruded aluminum box beam frame supports itself over the entire width of the tent. All of our clear span tents have an 18 degree roof pitch and are virtually water tight. Fabric panels are run through channels in the aluminum beams for a tight, clean, drum-like fit. These engineered Clear Span tents are more like portable buildings than any conventional pole, small frame or tension tents. These structures can be erected quickly for the most elegant one night party and then quickly disappear or they can stay up indefinitely with minimal upkeep. Whether you are looking for an intimate and elegant 50 person sit down dinner or a 65,000 square foot temporary warehouse, Lantier Frame & Fabric Structures can fulfill all of your clear span needs.

Tent Sizes

Clear Span Tents are available in numerous sizes. Our tents are engineered as a modular system that bases tent sizes in 5 meter (16.5 ft.) increments. Tent widths are limited up to 164 ft. wide, while length can span up to 1000 ft. or more! The following guide gives examples of the most common tent sizes.

Tent Length and Width

Tent length begins at 5 meters(16.5ft.) and can increase at 5 meter (16.5 ft.) intervals until your square footage needs are covered. Each 5meter increment requires the addition of a tent arch. Tent width sizes start at 10 meters (33ft.) wide and increase in 5 meter increments:

• 10 meters = 33 ft. wide
• 15 meters = 50 ft. wide
• 20 meters = 66 ft. wide
• 25 meters = 82 ft. wide
• 30 meters = 100 ft. wide
• 40 meters = 132 ft. wide
