Buying a pagoda tent: what should you pay attention to

When purchasing a pagoda canopy, it’s important to consider several factors to ensure that you acquire a high-quality tent that meets your needs. 

Quality of the tent

One of the first things to consider is the tent's material. Above & Beyond’s pagoda canopies are made of durable PVC with a high weight of 820 g/m². This not only provides an elegant look but also excellent weather protection. The fabric is waterproof with thermally welded seams, ensuring a long-lasting tent that can withstand harsh weather. The stability of the tent is crucial as well. Our pagoda canopies are designed with sturdy aluminium poles and a stable frame, providing a reliable setup even in windy conditions. This makes them ideal for events where visitor safety is a priority, as the tent will remain secure during the event. 

Dimensions of the tent

The tent's dimensions are also essential. Above & Beyond offers pagoda canopies in various sizes, from 3 x 3 m to 6 x 6 m. Measuring the area where you want to set up the tent ensures you select the right size to accommodate your guests, seating, and possibly other facilities, such as a buffet, bar, or dance floor. 

Customization

Another benefit of Above & Beyond’s pagoda canopies is the customization option. You can personalize the tent to your specific needs by printing a logo, making it a perfect choice for corporate events that require branding. This ensures the tent is not only functional but also visually impactful for your guests. 

Ease of use

Finally, consider the tent's ease of use. Our pagoda canopies are designed for easy setup and takedown, allowing you to spend less time setting up and more time enjoying your event. This is especially useful for temporary events or when you need to create multiple setups quickly. With Above & Beyond’s pagoda canopies, you are assured of a quality product that meets all your expectations.

Frequently asked questions about pagoda tents

The roof tarpaulin and the side walls of the pagoda tent are made of PVC of 820 g/m². This material has a very long lifespan and is very easy to clean. It is a woven cloth that has a PVC coating on both sides and therefore looks smooth and even.
In non-keder pagoda tents, the side walls are attached to the frame with the help of velcro strips. In pagoda tents with keder, the side walls are slid into the keder profiles in the tubes. This ensures a completely wind and waterproof pagoda tent. At Above & Beyond, we only sell pagoda tents with keder.

Depending on the size of the tent, different set-up times apply. The times below may of course vary slightly. People who are used to setting up pagoda tents will need less time than people who are building a pagoda tent for the first time.

In general, the following assembly times apply: 

  • 3 x 3 m - 45 minutes 
  • 4 x 4 m - 60 minutes 
  • 5 x 5 m - 75 minutes 
  • 6 x 6 m - 90 minutes
The flag that is placed on top of the pagoda tent is often stored inside one of the tubes. If you don't find the flag right away, check all the tubes. Normally, the flag comes out like this.
Construction books are available for the pagoda tents of 3 x 3 m, 4 x 4 m and 5 x 5 m. This is not the case for the pagoda tent of 6 x 6 m. The construction books are personalized with a watermark tailored to the customer.

There are several options for cleaning your pagoda tent: 

  • With a soft brown/black soap or washing-up liquid, lukewarm water and a soft sponge. 
  • With a pressure washer. However, always keep a distance of at least 30 cm! 

Never use acetone or thinner or any kind of solvent!

Fabrics of pagoda tents

The Above & Beyond pagoda tents are equipped with an innovative keder profile, where the aluminium profiles of the tent are specially fitted with grooves. These grooves provide space for the sidewalls, which easily slide into place. This ensures that the sidewalls are attached to the frame in a seamless and secure way, rather than with loops. This way, the tent is fully wind- and waterproof because the sidewalls fit perfectly and there are no gaps or openings. This makes the tent highly suitable for long-term use, even in bad weather, and guarantees reliable protection from the elements.

The benefits of a pagoda tent from Above & Beyond 

Above & Beyond's pagoda tents are made from premium-quality materials and are incredibly easy to set up without the need for additional tools, making them ideal even for short-term events. Our pagoda tents are built to last, thanks to the high-quality materials used in their construction. Both the fabric and frame are highly durable, ensuring a long life for the tent.

How to maintain your pagoda canopy 

 Below are some tips to help extend the life of your pagoda canopy. Clean the tent immediately after takedown. This prevents dirt from penetrating the fabric and damaging the fibres. Use a solution of water and mild soap to clean the tent. Avoid using corrosive substances or acetone-based products. Check the tent for damage and wear immediately after takedown, and repair if necessary, so it’s ready for the next occasion. Allow the tent to dry thoroughly before storage. Storing a damp or wet tent often leads to mold growth. Store the tent and all parts in a cool, dry location. Storing the tent in a warm, humid place increases the risk of mold formation.
