Stretch Tents, also known as Freeform Tents or Bedouin Tents are an innovative take on traditional marques. Our Stretch Tents use state of the art welding techniques alongside traditional sail-making craftmanship.

They are made of MultiStretch FR™ fabric formed into a rectangular shape, delivering a tent with waterproof welded inner panels (so no ‘stretched stitching’ leaking water) surrounded with super-robust reinforced seams.

When rigging they are pulled out on the ground then pegged according to your desired configuration. Poles are used to create the desired shape and space. Our system allows Stretch Tents to take on many different forms. They can be erected as freestanding structures or off existing buildings as a canopy rig. Stretch Tents have no restrictions like traditional marquess, they can be rigged on uneven surfaces and over obstacles, maximising the available space.

In short, you can put a Stretch Tent up just about anywhere!

  • “I was very impressed with the team at Stretch Tents when they provided the tent for my wedding. Most importantly the guests loved it and many comments were made about how much better it was than a “traditional tent”. I would absolutely recommend anyone having an outdoor event to get in touch with the team at stretch tents. I will definitely being using them again.”

    WAYNE HUGHES

  • “Stretch Tents are amazing! Not only is the end product super stunning but the staff are amazingly helpful with anything wedding related. Big thanks to you all! We got so many comments about how good the tent looks.”

    ANNA SMITH

  • The tent was wonderful and exceeded expectations. Everyone commented how terrific it was. It rained that evening but inside the tent you couldn’t even notice – couldn’t hear the rain at all and no leaks or water catching weighing the tent down – it was perfect. Great too that it had a such a high pitch as it was nice and airy and didn’t even really feel like you were in a tent at all. The lights also looked great all strung up inside the tent. It was just perfect.Cheers for your help and efficiency on this.

    CHANEL

  • The stretch Tent team have provided 2 tents of different sizes for parties at our place. The service is awesome and tents amazing to keep out the elements given NZ's fickle weather patterns. One day we expected rain however got boiling sunshine - the tent worked a treat to keep guests cool and out of the heat. These are so much better than traditional marques, softer in appearance and work in those odd strange places where a conventional tent would not. Highly recommend these guys.

    MATT

  • I would definitely recommend Stretch Tents. Efficient, professional and so helpful! We hired a stretch tent for our wedding and from the get-go Vanessa was an outstanding professional! I am hoping to use them in the future when we have another shindig one day!

    REBECCA

    JOHANNA CORBETT

  • Vanessa and the team at Stretch Tents did a great job for our recent wedding. We were so impressed with everything, the tent was fantastic as was the tables and chairs. We had so many comments on how amazing it was. Thanks again for the great service.

    CHARLENE

  • I have used this company twice. Both times at home for large parties. They were efficient, reliable and easy to communicate with. Our house took on a new look and we had a great time. Thanks Piers, your service was fabulous

    CHARMIAN HAYES

  • Piers and his team made our Matariki Festival at Bayswater School truly special with their amazing stretch tents. The tents took the event from a regular school fair, to a Winter Wonderland. As the June rain poured down, the tents managed to keep everyone dry and happy. Without them, the event would have most likely been called off. As the sun went down, the lights twinkled and brought such a beautiful ambiance to the festival. It was exactly what our community needed in the darkest time of year. We can't thank Piers and his team enough, really. But, we'll try...Ngā mihi nui!

    NORAH WILSON

  • Fantastic, brilliant, highly recommend! Matt was absolutely awesome to work with for our event, a real mission because of Covid-19, but everything came together smoothly and without a hitch. Thanks heaps and look forward to doing it again this year!

Styles

We manufacture both free standing and canopy tents. Actually, they are the same tent, rigged in a different style!

Freestanding Stretch Tents

These can be rigged 3 sides up, 2 sides up, 1 side up and four corners down (all sides up) giving you the ability to close your tent up if the weather is inclement or open it up when weather permits. Pegging and Poles are used to create the desired shape and space. There are no restrictions on only occupying flat surfaces. They can cover areas traditional marquess cannot and maximise space. Stretch Tents have structural certification of up to 1000 sqm, achieved by joining tents. A superior option to traditional PVC marquees.

Canopy Stretch Tents

These can be erected off existing buildings. The unique rigging system allows Stretch Tents to sit onto a roof providing a rain proof solution between the Stretch Tent and house or structure, allowing you to extend an existing area. Nothing competes with Canopy Stretch Tents!

DON’T SEE THE CORRECT SIZE? WE CUSTOM MAKE TENTS FOR YOUR REQUIREMENTS!

 
If you need a tent other than our 4 'stock sizes', just let us know what you need. For anything larger than 300sqm, we recommend that you purchase a combination of sizes less or up to 300sqm and join them. In our experience, this is an easier way to erect large tent structures (we are certified in New Zealand for up to 1000sqm floor area).
We have made tents of many different sizes over that last 13 years, including special make ups to go on stage trusses with cutaway corners..
