About Us

Manufactured in New Zealand for superior quality from the smallest to the largest component.

In 2008 Stretch Tents developed a revolutionary new fabric called MultiStretch FR™ for manufacturing Stretch Tents.

MultiStretch FR™ is produced in Europe to the world’s highest standards, meeting New Zealand and Australian fire standard AS1530.2, European standard NF P 92-507 (2004) and California AC Title 19, section 1237 for membrane structures and is 100% waterproof.

Our tents are made in New Zealand using state of the art welding techniques alongside traditional sail-making craftmanship, something we’re proud of in this sailing-mad country!

We now cover New Zealand with eight Stretch Tents hire business partners and have developed a business model from real business experience in the Stretch Tents hire industry.

We first started exporting tents into Australia in 2012, followed quickly by the Pacific Islands and are now selling world-wide. We believe our tents stand up to any similar product anywhere in the world.

Since 2009, we have been supplying our Stretch Tents Marquess to our hire partners in NZ, corporates, venues, community organisations, festivals and the general public. We supply fire and structural certification with all our tents and a full set of training manuals for erecting the tents. If required we can come to you and train on site.

In 2009 our first Stretch Tents hire business partner, Stretch Tents Central, came on board.

Stretch Tents are 100% waterproof. MultiStretch FR™ fabric has been tested by using a water head testing procedure. Combined with our hybrid seaming technique using the latest welding technology creates a 100% waterproof seam.

Our Stretch Tents for Purchase

Stretch Tents, also known as Freeform Tents or Bedouin Tents are an innovative take on traditional marques and gazebos. Our Stretch Tents use state of the art welding techniques alongside traditional sail-making craftsmanship. They are made of MultiStretch FR™ fabric formed into a rectangular shape, delivering a tent with waterproof welded inner panels (so no ‘stretched stitching’ leaking water) surrounded with super-robust reinforced seams.

When rigging they are pulled out on the ground then pegged according to your desired configuration. Poles are used to create the desired shape and space. Our system allows Stretch Tents to take on many different forms. They can be erected as freestanding structures or off existing buildings as a canopy rig. Stretch Tents have no restrictions like traditional marquess, they can be rigged on uneven surfaces and over obstacles, maximising the available space.

In short, you can put a Stretch Tent up just about anywhere!

Free-Standing Tents

These can be rigged 3 sides up, 2 sides up, 1 side up and four corners down (all sides up) giving you the ability to close your tent up if the weather is inclement or open it up when weather permits. A superior option to traditional PVC marquees.

Canopy Stretch Tents

These can be erected off existing buildings. The unique rigging system allows Stretch Tents to sit onto a roof providing a rain proof solution between the Stretch Tent and house or structure, allowing you to extend an existing area. View our gallery here.

Stretch Truss Skins

The same fabric and welding technology is used in our Truss Skins as in our Stretch Tents. The major difference is the edges of the skins; we have designed them to accommodate the trussed framing. Learn more.
