Universities Choose Amazing Tent for Student Balls

Tuesday 10 December 2013 by Amazing News Editor

SECTOR: Corporate

EVENT: Student May Ball

VENUE: Cambridge

THE BRIEF: Provide a Stage Cover for a student ball inside one of Cambridge’s universities with short build and dismantle schedule. Situation was complicated with requirement to work alongside other contractors in relatively small site.

THE SOLUTION: After two site visits, it was decided to use an S5000 SaddleSpan Concert to allow a stage big enough for the acts booked.  Due to the small site, extra care and calculations were needed to be made to make sure the frame could be winched up.  To see an S5000 SaddleSpan being installed visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZy6hnL2pmo.

Commonwealth Games With Amazing Tents? We Hope So

Wednesday 06 November 2013 by Amazing News Editor

Last year The Amazing Tent Company was at the London Olympics 2012 wrap party – you can see the structure we used above.

The brief was to supply a ballasted canopy to give open weather protection to the guests on a site which was not only notoriously windy but with difficult access.

The venue was in London outside the Olympic Copperbox.

Our solution was to provide an S5000 Canopy ballasted with low profile weights.

The question is will there be an Amazing Tent at next years XX Commonwealth Games in Glasgow? We, obviously, hope so!

The Commonwealth Games Event in Glasgow has already had unprecedented ticket sales with more than 92% already sold. This week the remaining tickets went on sale and will, undoubtedly be snapped up double quick – will we see you there?
