What type of fabric is it?
Freeform™ Tents are made out of a two-way stretch fabric specially developed for this application. The fabric is incredibly strong with a two-ton or a 260KPA bursting point. The unique feature of the fabric is its retractable stretch. When a pole is removed the dimple retracts to its original shape. This means poles can be positioned anywhere allowing for a unique shape every time you rig the tent.
There are two different grades of fabric within the Freeform™ tent range:
Freeform™ Stretch 1-Ply
Freeform™ Stretch 1-Ply is our flagship product. It is treated with UV protectors and water repelling chemicals making the tents water resistant. The fabric is treated with a UV Absorber and a Teflon coating and has a built-in fire retardant.
This product will keep you dry in a light rain, but in a heavy downpour you can expect a light mist to form on the underside of the fabric.
Freeform™ Stretch 2-Ply
Freeform™ Stretch 2-Ply is laminated on one side and is 100% waterproof. This fabric has taken 3 years to develop and is available in a full range of colours. It is currently under patent.
Freeform™ Stretch 3-Ply
Freeform™ Waterproof 3-ply is a double strength 100% waterproof product.
Size Guideline
Freeform™ can manufacture any size tent from 9m2 to 400m2. As tents are modular in design, larger areas can be covered by connecting two or more tents together.
If you are not sure about what size you require, you can either measure up the area and send us a rough drawing along with digital photographs of the area you wish to cover, or we will visit your property and conduct a full site inspection.
Is there a maximum or minimum size?
Our panel size is 1.54 by any length in metres although we do not exceed 20 metres. Where a larger tent is required, separate tent 'modules' can be laced together.
What is the difference between a tent and a canopy?
Tents are generally large freestanding structures with two or more sides
down, while canopies are pulled off an existing structure. Either way, a
tent can be transformed into a canopy and a canopy into a tent if size permits.
Can I rig a tent in a variety of shapes and sizes?
Yes! That's why they're called Freeform™. Larger tents can be erected with
sides up or down or a combination thereof. Poles can be moved around to
accommodate numbers and create different shapes. Canopies can be wrapped
around trees, rocks and walls - and erected with or without poles. There
practically isn't a space that a Freeform™ tent won't transform into a viable
entertainment zone.
Can I use it as a permanent structure?
Freeform™ tents are not permanent structures.
Does your fabric meet fire regulations?
Our fabric has a built in fire retardant and will burn very slowly. A spray on fire retardant can be applied as an additional measure. This is applied to the rigged tent or canopy.
How easy is it to rig and dismantle a tent or canopy?
They look complicated but are actually fairly easy. As an example, a standard 10mx15m tent can be rigged and dismantled by two people in around 30 minutes and taken down in less than 5 minutes.
Tents are packed in durable dry bags. Poles bags and pole connectors are also available for exporting poles and for general travel.
How do you fix the tents to a structure?
This depends on the site where the tent will be rigged, but we usually use a combination of Rawl bolts and Fischer Hooks.
What are the colour options?
White, Black, Grey, Chino, Tan, Khaki, Canary Yellow, Burnt Orange, Red, Blue, Cerise, Fuchsia and Green.
Special colours can also be manufactured but the minimum run is 350 running metres.
Can I brand my tent?
Absolutely! There are two options:
Dye-sublimation - Full colour 1800dpi photographic printing is available on 1-ply tents.
Screenprinting - Traditional screenprinting (maximum area per print is 2.7m x 9m) is available for 1-ply and 2-ply tents.
