If you are considering purchasing a frame tent, there are a few things we would like to make you aware of so you can wisely choose between a frame tent, or a pole tent. Frame tents are more expensive than pole tents. A pole tent is much more portable than a frame tent. Pole tents are easier to install than a frame tent.

Tip:

• Typical installation time for a 20’x30’ frame tent = 4- men 1.5 hours
• Typical installation time for a 20’x30’ pole tent = 2-men 20 minutes
• Typical installation time for a 40’x80’ frame tent = 10 men 6-7 hours
• Typical installation time for a 40’x80’ pole tent = 2 men 1.5 hours

Frame tents are NOT “Free Standing” as sometimes advertised. They must be staked out just like a pole or tension structure must be. The only exception is for indoor use. Pole tents will withstand higher wind loads than a frame tent.
