Every tent is built from certified fire-retardant fabric, tested for waterproofing, and backed by a 2-year warranty. We supply single tents to private clients and bulk orders to resellers. ### 34 Years of Manufacturing Experience Star Tents has manufactured tents in South Africa since 1991. Over 34 years we have produced stretch tents, sailcloth tents, glamping tents, and dome tents for clients ranging from private buyers to national event production companies. This experience informs every fabric specification, seam construction, and finishing detail. ### 2-Year Warranty on Every Stretch Tent Every stretch tent we manufacture carries a 2-year warranty covering fabric integrity, seam construction, and waterproofing performance. Cheaper imported tents are typically sold without warranty or with cover limited to 90 days. ### Certified to International Fire Safety Standards All Star Tents stretch tent fabrics are tested and certified to three international fire safety standards: French M2 (NF P92-503), US CFM (California State Fire Marshal Title 19), and British BS 7837:1996. Certificates are available on request for venue compliance and insurance purposes. ## What Are Stretch Tents Used For in South Africa Stretch tents are a flexible, freeform shelter used for outdoor events across South Africa. Unlike pole tents or frame tents, stretch tents are anchored at variable heights, which allows them to be shaped to a venue, slope, or design brief. The four most common applications in the South African market are private events, corporate functions, semi-permanent installations, and rental fleet stock. ### Weddings and Private Events Stretch tents are widely used for weddings, milestone birthdays, and private celebrations across South Africa. The freeform shape suits garden venues, wine farms, and beachfront events. Waterproof construction and fire compliance make them suitable for both summer and winter use. ### Corporate Functions and Brand Activations Stretch tents work well for corporate launches, brand activations, conferences, and team events. All our fabrics accept logo branding and signage, which makes the tent itself part of the brand presentation. We supply event production companies nationwide with branded stretch tents for both single events and ongoing campaign use. ### Long-Term and Semi-Permanent Installations Restaurants, hotels, lodges, and wine estates use stretch tents as semi-permanent outdoor structures. The Matte Flex Coated FR 750 fabric is our recommended option for this use case, with the UV stabilisation and matte finish suited to year-round outdoor exposure. ### Stretch Tent Rental Fleet Stock Stretch tent rental businesses across South Africa source bulk fleet stock from us. The 3-Ply FR Endurance 750 is the recommended fabric for rental fleets because it handles repeated setup and takedown without seam or fabric failure. Bulk orders qualify for wholesale pricing and faster turnaround. ## Fabric Comparison: Which Stretch Tent Should You Buy Use this table to match the right fabric to your use case. | Use Case | Recommended Fabric | Why | | --- | --- | --- | | High-turnover rental fleet | 3-Ply FR Endurance 750 | Built for repeated setup and takedown | | Lower-frequency rental or private use | 3-Ply FR Lightweight 550 | Easier handling, lower transport weight | | Semi-permanent venue installation | Matte Flex Coated FR 750 | Matte finish, long-term UV stability | | Lightweight permanent installation | Matte Flex Coated FR 550 | Same matte finish, lighter weight | | Branded corporate use | Any of the four fabrics | All four accept logo and signage branding | | Restaurant, hotel, or lodge structure | Matte Flex Coated FR 750 | 7-colour matte finish, premium appearance | ## Stretch Tent Colours and Customisation All Star Tents fabrics are available in a range of standard colours. The Matte Flex Coated FR 750 and 550 fabrics are available in 7 exclusive colours through Dimensions. Custom colour production is available for orders of 400m² or more. Every fabric in our range is brandable. We can add company logos, event signage, or full custom prints to any tent. Branding is applied during manufacturing for permanent fixtures, or as removable signage for rental use. ## Nationwide Delivery Across South Africa We deliver stretch tents across South Africa from our Cape Town manufacturing facility. Standard delivery routes include Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Port Elizabeth, East London, and Bloemfontein. We also arrange delivery to smaller centres, farms, lodges, and rural venues via courier or our regional distribution partners. Standard production turnaround is 15 to 18 working days from deposit. Lead times may extend for custom colours, large bulk orders, or peak season production. ## Buying a Used Stretch Tent vs a New Stretch Tent Second-hand stretch tents appear on the South African market periodically. Before buying used, verify three things: current fire certification (which expires and is fabric-specific), seam integrity (welded seams degrade over time), and waterproof performance (which can be tested with a simple water spray). Used tents rarely carry warranty cover. New stretch tents from Star Tents include current certification and a 2-year warranty, which protects the buyer if any fabric or seam fault appears within that period. We occasionally have second-hand stretch tents in stock from ex-rental fleet or trade-in inventory. Contact us directly to check current availability. We offer four certified stretch tent fabrics, each engineered for a specific use case. All fabrics are 100% waterproof, fire-retardant, UV-stabilised, brandable with logos or signage, and covered by our 2-year warranty. ![](https://star-tents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/1.jpg) ### Advanced Treatment Treated with water repellent, anti-microbial agent, and Teflon finish. ![](https://star-tents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/2.jpg) ### Waterproof Construction Seams stitched and welded for 100% waterproofing ![](https://star-tents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/3.jpg) ### Global Safety Standards Meets French M2, US CFM, and BS British standards. ![](https://star-tents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/4.jpg) ### Warranty Two-year warranty for peace of mind.
