Outdoor sports events need covered space that does not block play or sightlines. An aluminum clear span tent gives a column-free floor from 3 m up to 50 m wide, so a marathon expo, a padel court, or a spectator village can sit under one roof without internal poles.
For a city marathon, a 30 m x 40 m structure housed athlete check-in, a medical bay, and sponsor booths. The anodized frame rose in two days on a concrete plaza using ballasted feet with no ground screws. Translucent roof panels kept the hall bright until dusk.
Sidewalls changed per zone: mesh for the warm-up area, glass for the VIP lounge, solid PVC for equipment. The same beam system scales, so the organizer reused it for an autumn cycling race with a new layout. Wind rating reached 100 km/h with the full bracing kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What clear-span width works for a sports event?
Most expos use 15-30 m; full courts or stages go to 40-50 m. The frame is modular, so width changes without new tooling.
Can the tent sit on a running track?
Yes. Ballasted or weighted footplates protect the surface, and no drilling is needed on synthetic tracks.
How fast is build and strike?
A 1,000 m2 hall typically installs in two days with a six-person crew and strikes in one.
