The Mega Tent - (8 Pole)

Eye-Catching

Stunning visual appearance to attract attention from passersby. This tent stands 16 metres tall.

Versatile

Maximum ceiling height is 13 metres which allows for the set up of any type of performance. A variety of sound and lighting trussing can be erected for performances. Maximum load capacity of trussing and equipment can be approximately 6 tonnes in weight on each pole.

Brilliant Acoustics

Sound plays an important part in any event. The Megatent is the ultimate in semi-permanent structures for the retention of sound within the venue. The Mega Tent has been used successfully at the recent Commonwealth Games, for on location movie production studios, rock concerts and theatre productions. It has covered 10,000 people at the Big Day Out.

Structural Stability

Somersault is greatly concerned for public safety. The Mega Tent was designed with public safety in mind and has been engineered to withstand wind velocities up to 130 knots. This tent is by far the most stable temporary structure in Australia.
