One of the resounding benefits of our stretch fabric tents is the speed with which they can cover almost any space, attractively and cost effectively – turning a dead zone into a viable space for business or leisure in no time.

The unique style of our stretch fabric tents will enhance the existing architecture of most buildings – creating interest with their complimentary colours and their parabolic curves. And because they are 100% waterproof and UV proof , you get complete protection from the elements – making them the ideal solution for your outdoor space.

If you’re interested in maximising your space, give us a call and we can come and do a site inspection to have a look at your possibilities. After that, our designers will simulate an architectural 3D rendering of the tent covering your space based on photographs and dimensions supplied. This will enable us to design the best solution for your space, and it gives you the opportunity to see the tent in situ.

It’s plain sailing after that. Once you have given it the “OK”, we’ll send a team to do the initial installation – and we’ll show you how it’s done. It’s dead easy, and you’ll be dismantling it and installing it yourself in no time.

We can even go a step further with our branding options. We use a number of different printing methods when it comes to branding our tents; and logos or full colour images can be digitally printed onto the canvas to provide highly effective brand exposure that will ensure your business gets noticed.

So think outside the box and maximise on your space with style – call Schupepe Tents today.

The goal of the hospitality sector is to make the environment for guests warm and inviting. One important aspect of achieving this is to utilize your space to its fullest potential. However, finding practical and cost-effective solutions to expand your available space can be a challenge. That’s where our semi-permanent, custom fitted stretch fabric tents come in.

Flexible and Adaptable Tents for Any Hospitality Setting

Whether you own a hotel, restaurant, bar, or resort, our tents are made to blend in with any hospitality environment. With their flexible and adaptable nature, they can be used to create additional seating areas, cover outdoor dining spaces, or provide shelter for events and functions.

Semi-Permanent Tents for Stability and Reliability

One of the key benefits of our stretch fabric tents is their semi-permanence. Unlike traditional marquees or tents that need to be erected and taken down every time you use them, our tents can be left in place for extended periods of time. This means you can create a more stable and reliable outdoor space for your guests without the hassle of constantly setting up and taking down tents.

Custom Fitted Tents for a Seamless Integration

Furthermore, our tents are custom fitted to your specific space and requirements. This allows you to customise your tent’s size, shape, and colour to ensure that it blends in with the overall design of your business. The stretch fabric material also creates a sleek and modern look, which will enhance the overall ambiance of your space.

Transform Dead Zones Quickly and Easily

The ability to quickly and easily transform a dead zone into a functional and attractive space is one of the most significant benefits of our stretch fabric tents. Traditional construction and renovation projects can be expensive, take months or even years to complete, and cause serious delays to your business. However, with our tents, you can create a new usable space in a matter of days, if not hours, with minimal disruption.

Flexible and Customisable Space Solution

Our stretch fabric tents can cover almost any space, whether it’s an outdoor courtyard, a rooftop terrace, or a car park. To ensure a perfect fit and seamless integration with the surroundings, the tents can be specially tailored to the size and shape of your location. Once the tent is set up, it may be utilised as a protected location for a range of activities, including outdoor meals and parties as well as extra seating or workspaces.

Cost-Effective and Long-Lasting Solution

Another benefit of our stretch fabric tents is their cost-effectiveness. Traditional building projects can be expensive, requiring permits, architectural plans, and significant construction work. But for a lot less money, our tents can offer a same degree of utility.They are long-lasting, require little upkeep, and may be reused or moved as needed.

An Attractive and Practical Solution for the Hospitality Industry

If you’re in the hospitality industry, our semi-permanent, custom fitted stretch fabric tents are an attractive and cost-effective solution for expanding your available space. With their ability to quickly and easily cover almost any space they provide a practical and flexible solution for expanding your available space and creating a welcoming environment for your guests.

Unpredictable Wedding Venues

While some people still prefer to get married in churches, the vast majority of couples are exploring different and unexpected wedding venues. New Zealand is host to breath-taking landscapes and many of our clients take advantage of the natural beauty our country has to offer. Our weather-proof, flexible wedding marquees provide the perfect cover for ceremonies on isolated beaches, iconic cliff-tops, and lush, green open fields.

Wedding Weekends

Modern couples want their wedding to be a gala to remember instead of just another cookie-cutter, one-day event. Themes such as wedstivals and glamping-inspired weddings are becoming quite popular for those that want to keep the fun going all weekend long. Our marquees allow our client’s imaginations to run amok without worrying about the rain or mud. You can set up your own personal Wedstock or Wedfest in your backyard, a camping site, an island, or a paddock. You and your guests can celebrate anywhere, anytime while making use of the awe-inspiring backdrop that New Zealand provides and we make sure you are equipped with all the comforts of home.

A Truckload of Food

Traditionally, food has been served banquet or sit-down style – with three choices – beef, chicken or seafood. Couples are spicing things up a bit and giving their guests more options. Taco bars, crepe stations, cupcake corners, and even food trucks offering anything from oysters to mini-burgers.

The Tech Wedding

This can go either way. Some couples will want an unplugged event. They may want to discourage their guests from being tied to their phones during the wedding and will offer a phone check at the door. However, other couples will go to the other extreme and will want to memorialize every moment via social media outlets using custom hashtags. Some brides are putting a GoPro in their bouquets to capture a unique view of the ceremony. Photographers are even using drones to take amazing aerial shots of the wedding. For those couples getting married overseas, Skype and Facetime allow for virtual guest participation.

Keeping it Green

It is possible to have the wedding of your dreams without leaving a super-sized carbon footprint. Traditional venues such as resorts and hotels are not the most environmentally friendly options. Here at Schupepe we implement a sustainability programme with Instep that enables us to minimise our impact on the environment. We are also able to recommend caterers that grow food locally without pesticides. Couples who make use of our interior hire options also cut down on transportation emissions by reducing the need for multiple vendors.

Your wedding vows should be the only ties that bind you – not tradition! Let us help you create the wedding of your dreams. Call us today for a quote.

So that’s why our riggers can’t just be your average rigger – they have to think creatively when it comes to conforming and rigging our Freeform™ tents, so that they can create the venue of your dreams. Because of this, our site inspections are very important and very thorough – we have to take into consideration things like existing structures, and whether or not we can use those structures as anchors, or if we can rig our tents as an extension of them – creating an even bigger and more versatile space.

When it comes to the installation process, our tent rigging techniques are the safest and most secure in the industry. We’ll assess your chosen location and look at what kind of fixing system will be required; and if we have to install temporary brackets on corrugated iron roofs, or lift roof tiles to access rafters – we’ll always get advice from roofing professionals first. And if needed, we can organise for a professional roofer to be on site during the installation process to assist, give advice and ensure the utmost safety of the installation – safety that covers both the existing building, and you and your guests.

Our riggers also get to work internationally – last year we sent 3 of our more senior riggers overseas to the UK to work with other stretch tent companies during their busy northern summer season. This is a great learning opportunity for us because our UK counterparts do much bigger and more elaborate jobs with bigger budgets, and we are able to to see how our skills, systems and processes compare with theirs. We exchange ideas and come back armed with new ideas and better efficiencies! Conversely, we get the English lads coming down our way to help us out during our busy summer period – so it works both ways!

At Schupepe Tents we are a team who take a great deal of pride in their work, and we offer a service that goes above and beyond – because we are perfectionists! Call us today to find out more about our tents and marquees and how we can create an event for you that will be the talk of the town!

The post The Rigors Of Rigorous Tent Rigging – Expert Tent Rigging Techniques From Schupepe Tents appeared first on Schupepe.

So let’s find out a bit about Freeform® in South Africa…

Based in the rugged landscapes of Cape Town, every tent and marquee that we import from Freeform® is produced from start to finish in their factories, under the strictest of quality control measures. Their state of the art welding technology ensures a neat, robust, and, most importantly, watertight finish on all seams and joins; and every tent undergoes a comprehensive check for defects before it leaves their factory doors.

The FreeformFlex® fabric is the result of extensive development and research to bring a more durable, flexible and stylish product to the tent and marquee market – one that not only offers greater longevity, but is also safe, weatherproof, has a unique aesthetic appeal, and is fast setting a new international standard for the tent and marquee hire industry.

Tested in the lab and on the ground for over 4 years, this fabric ticks all the right boxes. The ultimate in durable, stretch fabric for rental , marquees and custom-fits, it is compliant with all major international fire and safety standards, and each product has been treated differently in accordance to the fire and ISO standards imposed by various countries worldwide.

With FreeformFlex® fabric you get:

~ 100% Waterproofing
~ Perfect stretch and flexibility
~ Purpose developed durable polymeric coating
~ High tenacity substrate ~ Anti-microbial treatment
~ UV stabilizers
~ Teflon® treated
~ Machine Washable
~ Easily repair without compromising waterproofing
~ Easy branded opportunities
~ Welded and taped seams for guaranteed strength and waterproofing
~ Compliance with International fire and safety standards

FreeformFlex® fabric tents and marquees offer the following features:

MACHINE WELDED SEAMS AND JOINS

Freeform® has invested extensively in fabric welding technology to ensure our seams are super strong and 100% watertight. Our specially developed seam tape melts into the top coating. This creates added strength and guarantees a seam that will not leak.

PATCHES

All patches are welded onto the tents and marquees – not just sewn. This allows the load to be spread evenly without compromising the integrity of the fabric with needle holes.

KING POLE JACK

The ‘King Pole Jack’ enables riggers to jack up the tent to the required height before inserting the pole – ensuring optimal tension and balance.

POLE CONNECTORS

The aluminum pole connectors are precision engineered to ensure no play once the poles are joined together. Although rigid when joined, they assemble and disconnect easily, allowing for fast and efficient installation and dismantling, and convenient storage.

ALUMINUM POLES, WOODEN POLES OR STAINLESS STEEL POLES

All poles supplied by Freeform® are of commercial grade. Rental tents use aluminum or wooden poles. Stainless steel poles are also available.

RUBBER POLE CAPS AND RUBBER POLE FEET

Freeform® provide only the most indestructible rubber pole caps and feet which are custom-moulded to create the perfect grip and peak, as well as a completely non-slip base for maximum safety on hard, polished floors.

So, yeah… we’re pretty proud to be able to bring this amazing product to the the events industry in New Zealand. And, because we believe in learning only from the very best – all our tent riggets have been trained by the Freeform® professionals themselves in Cape Town, South Africa.
