Automotive brands need presentation spaces that match the polish of their vehicles. A clear span tent provides the column-free interior required for multi-car displays while maintaining a professional aesthetic. The BTA series tent deployed for the Hong Kong Benz promotion demonstrates how a 20x30m transparent structure can improve a car show experience. The structure also supports integrated branding, with custom-printed sidewalls and entrance arches that reinforce brand identity.
The clear span of the BTA series ranges from 10m to 25m, with a main profile size of 204x110x4mm. These modular structures can be extended or reduced in 5m bay increments to match venue dimensions. The main frameworks use high-impact extruded anodized aluminum (6061/T6), and the PVC covers are coated polyester textile with flame retardance certified to European standard DIN 4102B1, M2. The tent resists up to 100 km/h wind loading, suitable for outdoor events in open exhibition grounds.
Beyond rectangular layouts, the commercial tent platform supports square, hexagonal, octagonal, decagonal, dodecagonal, and double-decker configurations. This shape flexibility allows automotive brands to create custom floor plans — a circular showroom for concept car reveals, or a long gallery layout for model lineups. All clear span structures come with a complete range of accessories including sidewalls with clear windows, ground anchors, weight plates, interior lining, glass wall systems, and ABS hard wall panels. The structure works equally well for temporary launches and permanent showroom extensions.
A transparent roof cover floods the display area with natural light, making vehicle paint finishes and interior details visible without the glare of artificial spotlights. The PVC fabric used is dual-coated for UV protection, preventing yellowing over prolonged exposure. For the Hong Kong event, the exhibition tent layout included dedicated zones for sedan display, SUV showcase, and a hospitality lounge — all within a single clear-span volume that eliminated obstructive support columns. The 3.3m eave height provided sufficient clearance for banner hanging and ambient lighting installation without interfering with vehicle sightlines.
Automotive event planners often combine these structures with autoshow tent auxiliary components such as branded entrance canopies, media interview rooms, and VIP lounges with glass wall partition systems.

What size tent do I need to display 4 cars at a dealership event?
A 10m × 15m clear span tent provides approximately 150 m² of floor space, enough for 4-5 vehicles with walk-around clearance and a small reception area. For larger showcases with 8-10 vehicles, a 15m × 25m (375 m²) configuration is recommended.
How long does it take to erect a 20x30m car show tent?
A 6-person crew typically completes assembly in 2-3 days. The modular frame uses bolted connections that do not require welding or heavy machinery. Ground preparation and accessory fitting (flooring, interior lining, branding wraps) add 1-2 days depending on complexity.
Can the tent be air-conditioned for indoor auto shows?
Yes. The PVC fabric roof can accommodate integrated HVAC ducting ports. The BTA series supports split-system air conditioning units mounted on the frame, and cassette flooring with insulation helps maintain stable interior temperatures for vehicle preservation.
Is the white roof cover easy to keep clean during multi-week events?
The PVC coating includes a dirt-repellent top layer. Routine cleaning with water and mild detergent restores the white appearance. For extended installations (over 4 weeks), a scheduled weekly rinse prevents dust buildup from diminishing the translucent effect.
