Atrium Tent Clear Span Aluminium Frame for Orangery Garden Wedding Ceremony

Atrium Tent Clear Span Aluminium Frame for Orangery Garden Wedding Ceremony

Grand weddings live or die on the room itself: too tight and 400 guests feel crowded, too sprawling and the ceremony loses its presence. A 30m clear-span atrium tent holds that balance - a cathedral-scale hall that still feels composed. This is the model we build most often for 800 to 1,000 guests at estate venues, exhibition grounds and festival sites, where the structure has to read as architecture rather than a marquee. Because the span is carried entirely by the frame, the whole floor stays open, and the length extends in 5m bays to suit whatever seating plan you bring us - no interior columns, no compromised sightlines.

Why designers pick this model

• Clear span interior, so the whole floor is open and you dress the space instead of hiding support poles
• 6061 T6 aluminium frame - aircraft-grade alloy, engineered to carry a full 30m clear span without sagging
• 850g blockout roof keeps direct sun off the seating while the room stays bright inside
• Frame sections are pre-drilled and bolt together, so a trained crew can raise the skeleton in a day
• A 5.5m eave height clears the perimeter easily and takes chandeliers, drapery and lighting rigs
• Add clear or glass sidewalls and you keep the grounds in view while blocking wind and weather

Available Sizes & Customisation

Span range from 12m to 60m; length is built to order in 5m bays so you can match your exact guest plan. Colours, sidewall options, doors, windows, lining and flooring are all open to customisation - tell us the look you are after and we match it.

What buyers ask us

About the maker

Tendars has shipped clear-span event structures to more than 40 countries, and the 30m span is the flagship of the range - engineered for estates, expo grounds and venues that need the presence of permanent architecture.

Structure & Space

• Clear-span gable (A-frame) design - no interior column, so the whole floor stays open.
• Span range 3-60m; length extends without limit in 3m and 5m bays.
• 100% usable space - banquet rounds, a runway or a stage can be arranged freely, with no sightline blocked.

Frame & Materials

• 6061-T6 hard pressed extruded aluminium, anodised or fluorocarbon finish; hot-dip galvanised steel connectors.
• About one third the weight of steel - corrosion free, paint free, re-installable again and again.
• Frame life of 15-20 years under normal use, with spare parts kept available.

Roof & Wall Fabric

• Roof 850 g/sqm and sidewall 650 g/sqm double PVC, heat sealed rather than stitched.
• Flame retardant to DIN 4102 B1 / M2 and NFPA 701; waterproof, UV resistant, rated -30 to +70 deg C.
• The DIN 4102 B1 fire test report matters more than any brochure image - it is the hard requirement for large event fire approval.

Enclosure Upgrades

• Standard on the glass model: tempered glass curtain walls with glass doors.
• Alternatives: PVC soft wall, ABS hard wall, or insulated sandwich panel wall.
• Benefit: far more premium than soft PVC, usable as a semi-permanent building, able to connect to an existing building, with better acoustics and insulation.

Wind, Snow & Fixing

• Design wind load 100-120 km/h (Beaufort 10-12); snow load 0.3-0.5 kN/sqm.
• Three fixing methods: grass ground anchors, concrete expansion bolts, or marble counterweight plates.
• A lawn can be used without breaking its surface; the other two methods cover concrete and hard standing.

Integrated Fit-out

• Flooring system, air conditioning, lighting hanging points, and ceiling or curtain drapes.
• Rain gutters carry drainage away where tents are joined side by side.
• Delivered as a turnkey package - the suspended light fittings and long tables seen in banquet photos are a typical ready-to-use set.

Delivery & Assembly

• Modular socket-and-bolt assembly with no welding on site.
• Roughly 1,000 sqm assembles in 4-8 hours.
• Production 15-25 days - friendly to tight event schedules, and equally suitable as a permanent building.

What serious buyers check before they order

Ranked by the weight each point carries in the decision:

1. Safety & compliance. A third-party fire test report (not a verbal flame-retardant claim), wind and snow load calculations, whether the glass is tempered or laminated and its thickness, whether design loads match the city basic wind pressure, and whether a temporary building needs permits. For large events, standards such as DIN 4102 B1 are non-negotiable.
2. Site suitability. Ground type (grass, concrete, marble or asphalt) decides the fixing and whether building is possible at all; also confirm site dimensions, slope, buried services and tree pits, and access width for cranes or forklifts. On grass, check wet-season bearing capacity and drainage.
3. How the price is quoted. Per square metre or per set; whether freight, installation, dismantling and foundation work are included; how much more glass costs than PVC; whether flooring, HVAC and lights are extra; the MOQ; and buy-versus-rent for short events.
4. Lead time against the event countdown. Days from deposit to dispatch, transit time, on-site build time and a bad-weather fallback - the real fear is a tent that is not up the day before the event.
5. How a banquet tent actually feels. Glass houses build up greenhouse heat, so cooling load must be doubled and shading or Low-E glass added; rain noise on the roof; ventilation and insects; whether the clear height suits hung chandeliers (4m eave height or more is best for banquets); and floor flatness and whether a wooden floor system is needed.
6. Appearance and branding. Transparent versus blockout roof, glass versus fabric walls, fabric colour, and whether logos can be printed to match the venue.
7. Warranty and long-term cost. Frame warranty period, the cost of replacing covers after 5-8 years, long-term spare-part supply, on-site technician support and storage after dismantling.
8. Supplier backing. ISO 9001 / CE / SGS certification, comparable banquet project references, factory visits and export experience.
