In the preparation of the exhibition, choosing the right tent design is a key factor affecting the effect of the event. Different types of exhibition tents have different focuses on structure, function, and applicable scenarios. Only by accurately matching the needs of the event can their value be maximized. This article will compare common types of exhibition tents to help you find the most suitable choice.
Types of tents
Peak tent: both beauty and ritual sense
Design features: The top is a triangular peak structure, the lines are simple and elegant, and the tarpaulin is mostly made of materials with good light transmittance. After matching with decorative lights, the atmosphere is very strong. The frame is made of aluminum alloy, which is light and stable.
Applicable scenarios: Suitable for small and medium-sized outdoor exhibitions, brand conferences, art exhibitions and other activities that focus on beauty and ritual sense.
Advantages: Fast construction speed, easy transportation after disassembly, suitable for short-term activities; good light transmittance, can reduce lighting electricity during the day.
Note: The internal space utilization rate is slightly low, which is not suitable for scenes where large and heavy exhibits need to be placed.
A-type tent: efficient use of every inch of space
Design features: The top is an A-type structure, with no columns inside, and the space utilization rate can reach 100%. The span can be customized to 10-60 meters, and the length can be extended infinitely, which is suitable for large-scale exhibitions.
Applicable scenarios: large-scale comprehensive exhibitions, machinery exhibitions, building materials exhibitions and other activities that require the centralized display of a large number of exhibits. For example, in the Industrial Equipment Expo, the flat-top tent can accommodate the placement and demonstration of heavy machinery, and it is convenient for visitors to shuttle freely.
Advantages: The internal layout is flexible and can be divided into multiple exhibition areas according to needs; the wind resistance level is high (some models can withstand level 10 winds), suitable for long-term outdoor use.
Curved tent: a combination of modernity and functionality
Design features: The top is curved, the appearance is smooth and modern, and it has a sense of technology and design. The frame is made of high-strength aluminum alloy, and the tarpaulin is mostly made of fire-resistant and wear-resistant materials, which can be matched with glass curtain walls or side curtains.
Applicable scenarios: science and technology exhibitions, new energy exhibitions, creative markets and other activities that pursue modern styles. For example, a smart home expo uses a curved tent with an LED screen and transparent side windows to intuitively display the technological attributes of the product.
Advantages: Small wind resistance, better wind resistance than flat-top tents; the curved top is not easy to accumulate water, suitable for rainy areas; light transmittance is adjustable to meet different light needs.
Note: High degree of customization, slightly higher cost than A-type tents, and super-large exhibitions require multiple groups of splicing.
Polygonal tent: a unique choice for personalized exhibitions
Design features: It is composed of multiple triangular or hexagonal units, with a unique and layered appearance, which can be flexibly spliced according to the shape of the venue. Suitable for irregular venues or exhibitions that need to create iconic shapes.
Applicable scenarios: Art exhibitions, music festival supporting exhibitions, cultural and tourism creative exhibitions and other activities that focus on individual expression. For example, an outdoor art installation exhibition uses a polygonal tent as a work display space, which can itself become a punch-in point.
Advantages: novel shape, with communication attributes; unitized design, can be increased or decreased in size as needed; strong adaptability to the site, can also be built on rugged terrain.
Note: the internal space layout is complex, requiring professional team planning; the construction and disassembly time is slightly longer than conventional tents.
How to choose a suitable exhibition tent?
Clarify the scale of the event: small exhibitions can choose a peak tent; large exhibitions with more than 500 people give priority to A-type or curved tents; exhibitions with more than 1,000 people recommend a combination of multiple tents.
Highlight the theme of the event: choose a curved tent for science and technology, a polygonal tent for art, and a traditional A-type tent for more practical.
Budget and cycle: short-term activities can choose a cost-effective peak or A-type tent; long-term or high-end exhibitions can consider curved or customized designs.
