A Rich History

Clearspan tents, integral to Europe's tent rental market post-WWII, were introduced to the U.S. market in 1981 by American Pavilion. Initially viewed as a novelty, these tents have proven their worth, growing from an initial 20,000 square feet to over 10 million square feet in the U.S. market today. Pioneered by brands like Hocker and Losberger, clearspan tents are now a staple in the tent rental industry due to their robust design and versatility.

Innovative Design and Durability

Clearspan tents are distinguished by their straight or curved aluminum rafters, eliminating the need for interior poles and creating expansive, unobstructed spaces. This structural integrity is enhanced by high-quality, reinforced vinyl coverings that are engineered to withstand extreme weather conditions. These tents can quickly adapt to various surfaces, whether soil, concrete, or uneven terrain, using different anchoring methods like stakes or ballasting to ensure stability.

American Pavilion takes customization to the next level with options ranging from wood or carpet flooring to glass entry doors and state-of-the-art HVAC systems.
