Multi-functional frame tent
At the 7 a.m. starting point, rows of white tents stand out. These are not just any tents, but specially designed security clearance tents. Dual channel design + anti-collision fence, can pass 200 people per minute, faster than the subway security!
Run to five kilometers, see the blue tent means the supply station. These depot tents are stocked with energy gels, bananas and energy drinks, and staff can hand out a bottle of water in 3 seconds, more efficiently than a convenience store!

After crossing the finish line, the Red Cross medical tent is a “safe haven” for runners. There are not only ice packs and massage tables, but professional doctors on standby. At last year’s Shanghai Marathon, tents like this saved 23 runners from cramping.
Excellent ability to frame tents
These tents are not a few poles and a piece of cloth.

Wind resistance: able to withstand a force 8 gale (equivalent to the weather that can blow an umbrella over)
Sun protection and breathable ? : double layer design, outside to 40?, inside can maintain 28?
Fast Changing Frame Tent
Two hours after the race, the depot tent became a parcel storage tent; After the awards ceremony, it was turned into a recycling depot.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a aluminum frame tent?
A aluminum frame tent is a versatile temporary structure designed for outdoor events, commercial applications, and special occasions. It provides weather protection, clear-span interior space, and can be customized with side walls, lighting, flooring, and climate control systems to suit any event or business need.
How long does a aluminum frame tent last?
With proper maintenance, a commercial-grade aluminum frame tent can last 8-15 years. The aluminum frame is corrosion-resistant and the PVC fabric cover typically needs replacement every 5-8 years depending on sun exposure and weather conditions. Regular inspection and proper storage extend the lifespan significantly.
What are the advantages of an aluminum frame?
Aluminum frames are significantly lighter than steel equivalents (approximately 60% lighter), making them easier to transport and assemble. They are naturally corrosion-resistant, require minimal maintenance, and can be engineered for clear spans up to 60 meters. The modular design allows quick reconfiguration.
