Our stretch tents offer a sleek and sophisticated solution, providing shade from the sun, rain protection, and a refined elegance.

Lighting is essential for creating the desired ambiance. Our lighting solutions are designed to bring your stretch tent to life by illuminating key areas and creating the ideal mood.

KEEP YOUR GUESTS COMFORTABLE

Cold evenings should not ruin the experience. Our gas heaters provide warmth and comfort, allowing guests to fully enjoy the occasion, even on colder nights. No matter the season, strategically placed heating will keep your event inviting and cosy.

ENSURE A STABLE AND STYLISH SURFACE

Outdoor terrain can be uneven, but that doesn’t mean your guests should have to negotiate treacherous footing. Our Event Flooring solutions provide a solid foundation for your event, whether it’s on grass, sand, or concrete.  We’re constantly breaking new ground to ensure your event looks polished and professional.

GET THE PARTY STARTED WITH A DANCE FLOOR

A corporate event doesn’t have to be all business; add some fun with a stylish black and white dance floor. Whether it’s an awards night, a year-end function, or a company milestone celebration, our high-quality dance floors will get your guests moving in style.

MAXIMISE YOUR SPACE WITH A POOL COVER

If your venue has a swimming pool, do not let it limit your event layout. Our pool covers form a solid, stylish deck above the water, instantly expanding your event space. If you need more space for seating, a stage, or a networking area, a pool cover is a simple and effective solution.

TENT CONDITION AND QUALITY

It’s important to note that not all stretch tents are created equal. Some are waterproof, some are not. Some are clean and gorgeous, some are old and stained. So before booking your tent be sure to ask for photo’s. Ask if the tent is 100% waterproof, and how old the tent is. Ask if it has any stains, or any visible patches.

TENT SIZE vs COST

The next thing you should know is that stretch tents come in different sizes, and are charged per square meter (sqm). For instance, a bigger tent will cost more, and a smaller tent will cost less.  Expect to pay in the region of R30/square meter (sqm), excl. vat. The way to work out size is as follows:

Seated Dinner setting – 2-2.5sqm/person

Cocktail/Standing setting – 1.5sqm/person

Cinema Style seating – 1sqm/person

So to put this information into a practical picture, if you’re having 70 guests for a sit down dinner you’ll need a tent that’s around 150 square meters – so a 10m x 15m tent should do the trick. This would cost you approx R4500 ex VAT. If you are having 30 guests for a cocktail party then a 6m x 9m  tent should work – 54 sqm, costing in the region of R1620 ex VAT.

Keep in mind that if the weather is bad, or very windy, you might need to close the tent up a bit – ie drop one or two sides down to the ground. This will take away a bit of space in the tent, so the tent will need to be a little bit bigger.

A good tent company will offer free site meetings, where they come out to your house or venue, and meet with you to discuss the different options for your event.

LIGHTING & ACCESSORIES

Finally, it would be good to consider is adding some lighting for inside the tent, to make the tent come alive at night. The addition of lights makes the atmosphere in your stretch tent truly magnificent, and will most certainly add the ‘WOW’ factor to your event. Generally the lighting offered is fairy lights (approx R8-10/m) and ‘parcans’ – or up lights (R80 each)

Stretch Inc uses only the highest quality stretch tents, 100% waterproof, wind resistant, and fire-retardant. We offer free site meetings, just call our office on 0218204783 to book yours. We also offer lighting, flooring, heaters, and furniture to accompany our tents.

The post A Guide to Stretch Tent hire appeared first on Stretch Inc..

There are a number of reasons for the rise of the Stretch Tent and the fall of the Marquee – and we’ve listed a few of them here:

• Price

The hiring of a Stretch Tent costs about half the amount of hiring a similar sized Marquee.

• Looks

Stretch Tents are beautiful to look at, with their organic lines, flowing peaks, and elegant feel. They create a stunning, atmospheric space for an event. Marquees are a lot more formal, with their straight lines and uniform look.

• Versatility

Marquees require a flat surface, in a square or rectangle shape, that is perfectly level for the marquee to be erected correctly. Stretch tents can be erected anywhere, in any space, and on almost any terrain. Stretch tents can also be set up around tree’s, and attached to walls of houses, where marquees cannot.

• Efficiency

Marquees require a large team of riggers, a large truck to transport the tent, and many hours to set it up. Stretch Tents can be set up in an hour or two, with a small team, and can be transported in a normal bakkie, which is far better for the environment!

So when you are planning your next outdoor event, and have to make a choice between a stretch tent or a marquee, keep these points in mind! And remember, there is a reason why stretch tents have almost completely taken over the events market J

The post Why home events are killing venue hire appeared first on Stretch Inc..

Restaurants and Bars that offer a outdoors seating area – be it a deck, garden or courtyard – are often faced with the decision to either forego the extra trade and revenue generated by that space in Winter, or to invest in a permanent structure to insulate the space in the colder months. The problem with the former is no-one wants to lose their space when the weather turns, and the problem with the latter are as follows:

• Installing a permanent or semi-permanent structure is very costly, and needs to be paid in full before installation.
• When Summer comes and the structure is no longer useful, it needs to be dis-assembled, which again costs money.
• After removal it becomes the restaurants problem to store the structure until the following Winter.
• The restaurant needs to clean and maintain the structure.

Stretch Inc, always ahead of the pack, has a solution for restaurants and bars this winter:

THE SOLUTION

We are offering restaurants and bars across the Western Cape a solution to this dilemma with our Monthly Tent Rentals.

This is how it works: We measure up your outside area and advise on a tent that will suit your needs. We set the tent up at your venue free of charge, and equip the tent with fairy lights, atmospheric up-lights, as well as a large gas heater to ensure the space is warm, cosy, and inviting. If there are any issues with the tent whatsoever we offer a free call-out service, and once the sun comes out again in September, we’ll be there to take the tent down and bring it back to our warehouse. All this for one low monthly rental cost! Our monthly tent rentals work on a month-to-month basis, meaning you are not tied in to a contract, and if you feel its not working out for you, we’ll come and take the tent down, no problem.

See the table below for info on sizing, seating capacity, and pricing – and give our office a call on 0218204783 or drop us a message here if you have any queries!

Our charity initiative – the Stretch Kitchen – has taken off so beautifully. We host the pop-up soup kitchen every wednesday evening in Cape Town, in the McKenzie Street park. It’s great seeing how many people and companies have come forward to offer their help – our team is growing all the time and together we are doing good things.

One huge help we’ve received has been from Guy Thorp, who owns Spar Kloof Street. He’s taken over the sourcing of the food as well as the making of the soup! Each week he presents something delicious, different, and nutritious, asking for nothing more than the enjoyment of seeing hungry people fed.

The great guys from Cape Cup give us boxes of bio-degradable cups to serve our soup in, and we have a great team of volunteers offering their time every Wednesday evening to help out and hang out with our homeless community, and just make it an enjoyable evening for everybody – Its really rewarding seeing friendships being built.

Thanks to all our volunteers who give of their time, week after week, to keep this initiative alive

And things were a bit quiet in the Stretch Inc office. So we thought: Maybe its time for a random act of kindness? We figured we’ve got the tent, we’ve got gas cookers and utensils from setting up Afrikaburn, and we’ve got a whole team of amazing people with good hearts and a lot of energy — So why not do something cool as a group?

And just like that, the idea of Stretch Kitchen came to life.

It didnt take long to find a great soup recipe full of all the goodness needed to keep a hungry tummy fed, a good location in the city bowl to set up our pop-up soup kitchen, and a few quick phone calls found solutions to our other needs.

On Wednesday 08 July we launched the Stretch Kitchen on the corner of Canterbury and Constitution Streets, and handed out our first 75 bowls of hot and healthy soup – We all knew instinctively that something amazing had been started. As our patrons left with smiles on their faces and bellies full of food, we packed up, had a chat, and decided unanimously to make Stretch Kitchen a weekly endeavor.

Our thanks goes out to all those who made this possible – Knead Bakery for generously sponsoring boxes and boxes of delicious bread, our good friend Adrian and his awesome company NDE for sponsoring our lighting, generators, and a helping hand, and not to mention all the members of the Stretch Inc crew who willingly gave their time into the night… You guys! Rockstars!

…Cant wait for next week!
