Thinking outside the box has become a somewhat clichéd comment. However, it is nevertheless true when it comes to creating entertainment areas with canvas, rather than brick and mortar.

Over the years, camping under canvas was regarded as “so yesterday.” But glamping, a word created for “glamorous camping,” put an end to all of that. Now, it is tents that home and business owners turn to for space and entertainment area solutions. Not only are these structures far less costly to erect than brick and mortar, but they also offer the features of their far more costly counterparts. Today, canvas tents are:

• Fireproof
• Sturdy
• Weatherproof and
• UV Resistant

It is for these reasons that you will find an increasing number of pubs and restaurants opting for extensions to their venues with luxury tent areas. These outside seating areas are generally more popular with customers, particularly during the warmer months of the year. Entertainment tents offer business owners a profit-boosting option at a price that won’t break the bank.

When it comes to private use, entertainment tents are now custom-made to adapt to a wide variety of uses – from weddings to trance parties. They are 100% waterproof and have safety features that are compliant with international standards. The anti-microbial fabric used in their construction is fire retardant and designs ensure good airflow to keep temperatures cool, even on the hottest day.

These entertainment tents, that can be made to order and are also the perfect option for corporate events, conferences and concerts. Other popular tents are platform and “fancy” tents. A platform tent is quite simply a tent pitched typically pitched on a wooden floor. Platform tents are popular along hiking trails as they offer hikers a clean and even floor surface on which to sleep. “Fancy” tents are far posher. These babies are the rage of the glamping world and are also referred to as boutique, luxury, posh and comfy camping.
