| Bigtop hire / Tensile structure hire Bigtop hire and tensile hire Tensile structures are currently the safest temporary structures on the market, their unique design allows the fabric to be pulled in two different directions at the same time, this allows them to withstand extreme weather conditions far more effectively then other designs. This style of structure is commonly used abroad by hotels for semi permanent buildings. The tensiles we stock are on a similar scale to big tops and most UK and European circuses whom people commonly associate big tops with now favour this design. Their visual impact is fantastic and they are ideal for large events and for clients looking for a structure with real wow factor. The structures are built in a similar way to the traditionals and big tops, with internal poles being used to support the plastic, the covering for these structures are made of fire retardant white black out plastic. Black out consist of three layers the outside and inside are plastic with a dark fabric in between, this fabric allows great lighting effects on even the brightest of days, the black out also works as insulation keeping your interior cool during the hot summer days and warmer in the winter. The peaked roof is architecturally very pleasant and we try to accentuate this with colourerd lighting, it is quite a contemporary looking structure and does not have internal linings, although we can swag from the poles using various coloured fabric to complement your theme. The dimensions of the wall and roof height for these structures is much taller then both frames and traditionals, these are ideally built on grass although as with the traditionals they can be built on hard standing if this is acceptable on the site, it is important that there is good site access for the 60ft wide as the main poles are pulled up by a vehicle.
