What is a Stretch Tent?
A flexible waterproof fabric that is able to withstand the British elements with ease. Able to stay in situ through heavy winds and torrential rain, they also are a great option for shade creating restate from the sun on hot summer days. They have no rigid structure and can be pitched/rigged almost anywhere, from fields to rooftops and anywhere in between.
Is a Stretch Tent a better option?
Most likely yes. Stretch offer flexibility that no other temporary structure can, at least not any that would look half as good. Stretch tents really outshine other options when spaces are tight or ground conditions are trying. The rigging methods afforded to stretch tents mean they can venture where other structures can't.
