New Clearspan Weighting System

When it comes to structure tents and anchoring size matters.  Smaller tents, in the 10' to 40' width can easily be staked or anchored with water barrels.  This is a different story however when dealing with larger, engineered tents.  When designing these behemoth structures, engineers become weary at the thought of putting their name on a tent that isn’t staked into the ground.  It takes a masterfully planned and structurally sound weighting system to ease their nerves.  Such sophisticated weighting systems that are built and designed by engineers are few and far between...

Until Now!

We have recently designed and manufactured an anchoring system that meets and exceeds the industry standards for securing large clearspan structures.  Once the weights are completed, we will be able to safely anchor our 60'-100' wide structure tents.  The 3'x3'x2' concrete anchors weigh in at 2,500 lbs a piece. These will be stacked up to three high per weighted leg to ensure that the tent stays exactly where we put it.  Here are a few pictures and a quick video of the construction project going on out back in our warehouse.

Virginia Center for the Creative Arts

When planning a silent auction to help celebrate their 40th Anniversary celebration, the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts knew they didn't want to settle for anything less than the best.  So they knew exactly who to call when they began planning a silent auction on the grounds of Casa de Maria.  They wanted to seat 200 guests and put a tent over a 20' tall statue, no small feat.  We decided that our ESpan would be the perfect fit for this install.  

It was in a tricky spot to say the least, approximately 65'x65', we couldn't use a Lull and had to raise the large bays by hand.

Blue Ridge Light Forms provided an impressive lighting package to

really set the mood for the night.

A custom gable end 20'x50' allowed us to seamlessly connect the
entrance tent to the main 60'x60'

100'x200' Losberger for Private Event

Setting up a private event for 1,200 people in the middle of downtown Richmond is no easy task. But when our client started planning their event, they knew just who to call. So we loaded up our trucks with tents, flooring, tables, chairs, and linens, and jumped on 95 headed for Richmond Center Stage.

The first step is lining up and leveling the baseplates to make
sure everything else runs smooth.

As if the tent itself wasn't enough, we laid down over 20,000 sq. ft. of flooring along with numerous other catering and entrance tents. 

We made custom sidewall to allow the gable 15x20 connecter
to flow seamlessly into the Losberger

 When the client wanted A/C, we knew that Aggreko would have exactly what was needed to do the job

The Finished Product

We couldn't help ourselves from making our way to the
top of the building across the street for some prime pictures.

April Showers Bring BIG TENTS?????

Here is a clip of the setup we did for a private event in downtown Richmond last month.  We were racing against the rain during the entire set-up but we still managed to finish this massive tent on-time.
