Description

AluForce folding tent – 5 x 5 m – aluminium frame and polyester roof fabric

The folding tent: compact & quick to set up

Folding tents offer great flexibility because they are very compact and light. The tent can be set up in just sixty seconds (by only 2 people) and contrary to what many people often think, a easy up tent is no different to other types of tents in terms of strength. Our AluForce folding tents have been thoroughly tested and refined, as a result of which they are the strongest easy-up party tents on the market.

The strongest frame on the market

Thanks to its aluminium frame with its square 40 x 40 mm profile (which is very compact), the folding tent is a tent you can rely on. A square frame is much stronger than a hexagonal or octagonal frame, as the more angles the frame has, the weaker it is. In addition, all of the angles in our frame have extra reinforcement, which increases the strength of the tent. The 2.5-millimetre wall thickness is unique among folding tents.

And all of the connectors, which are subjected to strong forces in windy conditions, are made from full extruded (much stronger than cast) aluminium, not lacquered steel or plastic. An extension has been incorporated between the two arms of the scissor elements, so that when the tent is folded, the roof cannot become trapped. At the top of each pole is a rubber protection cap which prevents the frame from tearing the roof.

Thanks to its large 10 x 10 cm base plates, the tent is always sturdy on its feet. We are so firmly convinced of the quality that we offer not just a two but a five-year guarantee on manufacturing defects.

Roof and side walls

The roofs and side walls are made from 320 g/m² - 420 D polyester with a PVC-coating on the inside, as a result of which, when set up correctly, the AluForce folding tent is fully watertight (ISO 811: 294 mbar). Furthermore, all folding tent fabrics are anti-mould, UV-blocking and fire-retardant (M1). The corners of the roof are fitted with PVC protective caps that provide extra protection for the fabric from rubbing against the frame.

The side walls are secured with velcro along the full width of the roof, so that water cannot enter between the roof and the side walls. They are also fully secured from top to bottom with velcro around the bases of the tent, as a result of which the tent is also watertight and wind-resistant on the side and in the corners.

Options & personalisation

What’s more, our folding tents are very easy to link and expand with various options so they can be used in all types of situations.

All AluForce folding tents are available with personalised printing to order. If you are looking for a easy up tent that must remain set up for longer periods outdoors, you will be better off with a tent with fabric made from PVC light.

Also discover our ground frame, which provides additional stability for the folding tent

FAQ

What is the difference between a PVC roof tarpaulin and a polyester roof tarpaulin?

PVC has a very long lifespan and is very easy to clean. It is a woven cloth that has a PVC coating on both sides and therefore looks even. In addition, the PVC roof tarpaulins have a matte finish. If your pop-up gazebo is going to be set up for a long period of time and has to endure slightly more extreme weather conditions, PVC is recommended.

Polyester with PVC coating looks like woven fabric and is completely waterproof thanks to a layer of plastic. Polyester roof tarpaulins and side walls are the best-selling variant. These side walls, like those made of PVC, are completely waterproof and UV-resistant.

What is the difference between the frame of AluLite and AluForce?

The frame of the AluLite folding tent has a wall thickness of 1.5 mm and a square profile of 42 x 42 mm with rounded corners. These features make this tent suitable for short-term use.

A frame of the AluForce folding tent has a wall thickness of 2.5 mm and a square profile of 40 x 40 mm. If you use the tent frequently and intensively, the frame of the AluForce pop-up gazebo is the best choice.

What accessories are included with a pop-up gazebo?

If you buy a pop-up gazebo, it includes the frame and the roof tarpaulin. Sidewalls, anchoring, storage and other accessories are not included and must be purchased separately.

Is the folding tent waterproof?

If the roof tarpaulin and sidewalls are correctly assembled, the tent is completely waterproof. Because the side walls are attached to the roof tarpaulin over the full width with velcro, no water can flow between the roof tarpaulin and the side walls. The side walls are also fully attached to the legs of the tent from top to bottom with velcro, making the tent waterproof on the side and at the corners.

How much warranty is there on the pop-up gazebo?

There is a 2-year warranty on manufacturing defects. However, the frame of the AluForce folding tent comes with a 5-year warranty because we firmly believe in the quality of this frame. The frame of the AluLite folding tent comes with a 3-year warranty. Usage damage or storm damage are not covered by warranty.
