Aerodynamic Peaks

Constant CAD Tension
Due to our advanced CAD design, these structures maintain constant tension throughout the roof in all directions, unlike standard flat-roof marquees.
Premium Grade Fabrics
Manufactured with the finest materials on the market. Available in standard 600g translucent fabric, 750g block out, or heavy-duty 800g block out.

Expert Setup & Maintenance Guide
Maintaining the elegance and structural integrity of your high-peak investment.
When setting up your Classic Tents for a high-end event, proper tensioning is the key to maintaining their striking aerodynamic appearance. Because these are highly engineered tensile structures, the fabric relies on the exact pulling force between the center poles and the ground pegs. If the ropes are slack, the roof will not achieve its signature CAD-designed peak, and water may pool during heavy rainstorms.
For catering and event-hire businesses, ongoing maintenance is crucial to protect your return on investment. Always clean the PVC fabric with a non-abrasive detergent after an event, taking special care to wash the valances where dirt tends to accumulate. Ensure the canopy is absolutely dry before folding it away to prevent mold and color degradation.
If you need replacement parts, heavy-duty pegs, or advice on customizing your setup with our printed fabrics, do not hesitate to contact our professional sales team directly for assistance.
Classic Tents FAQ
Common questions about our high-peak tensile structures.
What is the difference between a Classic Tent and a Peg & Pole tent?
While they are installed similarly using pegs and poles, Classic Tents feature a computer-aided (CAD) design that creates constant tension throughout the roof. This results in a stunning aerodynamic high peak that minimizes roof movement in bad weather, making it far more aesthetically appealing.
What fabric options are available?
We use only the finest materials on the market. You can choose from standard 600 gram translucent fabric, 750 gram block out, or heavy-duty 800 gram block out depending on your sunlight and durability requirements. We also offer customized printed fabrics.
Are they difficult to install?
No. Despite their elegant alpine look, the Classic Tent is based on conventional peg and pole construction. It is very simple to install, using a familiar system of side poles, pegs, and ropes.
Do you deliver across Africa?
Yes! Tent Technics delivers across all South African provinces and exports directly to African countries including Angola, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Mozambique, Kenya, Nigeria, and many more.
