Any time you need to host a large event with a lot of people, one of the first things you need to do is find a venue. Since it can be difficult to rent a venue big enough for a huge crowd, erecting a temporary structure, such as a large clear span tent, pavilions, or canopy, is often an excellent choice. This allows you to customize your space needs, and your guests can enjoy being outdoors yet still having weather protection. The possibilities are endless, but here are a few of the most common uses for clear span structures.
Trade Shows
Trade shows are events where everyone from an industry can meet for exhibits and demonstrations of their latest innovations and products. This type of event typically involves many different businesses and vendors setting up their own individual table or display. Interested customers and business rivals then wander around the area checking everything out. Clear span structures are the ideal way to get the perfect amount of space needed at a trade show. Planners can take into account how many people are involved. From there, they craft the perfect layout with the ideal amount of space.
Weddings
The huge popularity of outdoor weddings in the past few years has lead to a burgeoning interest in temporary structures. Many bride and grooms want to have a picturesque ceremony in an isolated natural area. However, weddings are planned so far in advance that it is impossible to know what the weather will be like. Choosing a clear span tent with removable sides is the ideal solution to this problem. If the weather is perfect, guests can enjoy the view from all sides of the tent during the reception. If the weather is bad, the entire wedding ceremony and reception can be in the tent without causing guests to get wet. Since some temporary structures even come with air conditioning and lighting, you can avoid any bad weather in the tent.
Sports Events
Think of attending your favorite sporting events – it’s likely outside. However, not every team has enough popularity to build a massive stadium for their watcher’s needs. Smaller events like swimming competitions or tennis matches may host the entire event within clear span structures. Even massive sporting events always use a few temporary structures. Tents at sporting events can be used for vendors selling food and keepsakes. Tents can also provide a VIP area for special guests. Even after the game is over, a temporary structure can provide a location for a party for the participants later in the evening.
Concerts
Temporary structures can benefit a variety of different types of musical shows. Smaller concerts often need a structure that can hold a lot of people while still being far enough away from general homes and businesses to avoid sound limitation laws. Clear span structures allow these venues to ensure that only those with tickets can access the concert. It also provides some weather protection. At the huge, lengthy music festivals that are so popular right now, temporary structures have many purposes. They can provide shelter, create a cafeteria area, or set up a staging area for a band to get ready. Many of these big festivals also use temporary structures to host alternative acts while the headliners are playing on the main stage.
