A Frame - Round Tubing - Marquee / Tent 9m x 18m

An A-Frame Round Tubing Marquee / Tent (9m x 18m) is a highly versatile, commercial-grade clear-span structure. Offering 162\,\text{m}^2 of completely unobstructed floor space, this size is the "sweet spot" for mid-sized events, outdoor restaurant extensions, pop-up showrooms, or regional distribution storage.

By utilizing engineered round tubing instead of center poles, it provides maximum internal volume, a clean profile, and a highly efficient setup time.

📋 Technical Structural Specifications

1. Dimensions & Capacity

• Width (Span): 9000 mm (9.0m)

• Length: 18,000 mm (18.0m)

• Bay Distance (Eave to Eave): Typically configured in 3m modular increments (6 bays total) for structural rigidity.

• Eave Height (Side Wall Height): 2.4m to 3.0m (Standard vertical clearance).

• Ridge Height (Peak): Approx. 4.0m to 4.3m (Based on a standard 18^\circ roof pitch).

• Total Floor Area: 162\,\text{m}^2

• Seating Capacity: * Banquet Style (Round Tables): Approx. 90–110 people.

  • Cinema / Conference Style: Approx. 150–160 people.

2. Main Frame & Tubing Architecture

• Tubing Material: High-tensile, heavy-duty structural Aluminum Alloy (e.g., 6061-T6) or hot-dipped galvanized steel round tubing.

• Tubing Dimensions: Main profile diameter ranges from \varnothing\,76\,\text{mm} to \varnothing\,90\,\text{mm} with a wall thickness of 2.5\,\text{mm} to 3.0\,\text{mm}.

• Connectors & Joints: Heavy-duty, hot-dipped galvanized steel insert joints secured with double-locking quick pins for easy, toolless bay assembly.

• Wind Loading Rating: Engineered to withstand structural wind loads up to 80\,\text{km/h} when anchored correctly.

3. Fabric Covering & Membrane Spec (Roof & Side Walls)

• Material: Heavy-duty, double-sided PVC-coated polyester textile.

• Fabric Weight:

  • Roof Cover: 650\,\text{g/m}^2 to 850\,\text{g/m}^2 (Block-out white PVC to shield guests from heavy sunlight and lower internal temperatures).

  • Side Walls: 550\,\text{g/m}^2 to 650\,\text{g/m}^2 (Translucent or block-out PVC options).

• Safety Treatments:

  • Flame Retardant: Compliant with international fire safety codes (B1, M2 fire rating regulations).

  • UV Protection: Built-in UV inhibitors to guard against fabric weakening, cracking, and yellowing.

  • Waterproofing: $100\%$ Waterproof with high-frequency thermally welded seams.

4. Wall & Window Configurations

• Side Panels: Fully removable and interchangeable 3m curtain sections.

• Window Design: Premium church-style arched clear PVC windows embedded into the side wall panels to maximize natural lighting.

• Entrance Portals: Dual heavy-duty zippered door panels on both 9m gable ends allowing for broad entry lines or vehicle access.

5. Anchoring & Foundation Systems

• Grass / Dirt Fields: Heavy-duty steel ground pegs (600\,\text{mm} - 800\,\text{mm} length) driven into the steel base plates.

• Concrete Floors / Tar: Expandable mechanical anchor bolts or chemical masonry plugs.

• Sensitive Ground (No Drilling): Counterweight steel trays loaded with concrete blocks clamped directly to the leg bases.

🛠️ Performance Features & Inclusions

• Tensioning Architecture: Heavy-duty interior ratchet tie-down straps or internal tension bars that keep the PVC canvas perfectly taut, entirely eliminating wind-flapping and preventing water pockets during downpours.

• Modular Expandability: Because of the 3m bay structure, this 18m tent can easily be downsized to a 9m x 12m or expanded up to 21m+ in the future simply by adding additional center rafter tubing and roof covers.

• • Logistics Kit: Includes heavy-duty canvas transport bags for the PVC covers and specialized steel racking layouts to safely transport and store the round framework without scratching.
