Tentes de cirque et salles de spectacle mobiles : structures à membrane déplaçables
A touring tent is a building that travels. It must resist wind, pack into trucks and go up in a day. Those requirements shape the structure.
These reference views show a multi-peak white tent, a traditional red big top and a single conical tent.

Aperçu du projet
| Élément | Champ d'application de référence |
|---|---|
| Application | Circus, theatre, festival, temporary venue |
| Typical plan | 20–45 m diameter |
| Centre height | 10–18 m |
| Formulaires | Radial big top, multi-peak, single cone |
| Membrane et cadre | Fire-retardant PVC/PVDF on steel or aluminium |
Les défis que la conception doit relever
- Anchor for wind. Ground screws, stakes or ballast must resist uplift and horizontal loads on the actual site.
- Design for rigging. Trapeze, lighting and sound loads are concentrated and dynamic.
- Plan fire and egress. Exit widths, signage and emergency lighting are part of the tent design.
- Keep erection stable. The tent must be safe at every stage of assembly and dismantling.
Formes de toiture dans cet ensemble de référence
Radial big top
A traditional big top combines a radial roof with a perimeter wall. Guy lines and anchors are part of the structural system, not accessories.

Single conical tent
A single cone is quick to erect for smaller performances and events. The mast and anchor layout should be rehearsed before the first tour.

Matériaux et livraison
Touring tents take more handling damage than permanent structures. The membrane should be repairable and the panels replaceable.
- Fire-retardant PVC/PVDF 650–900 g/m²
- Galvanised steel or aluminium masts and trusses
- Engineered ground anchors or ballast
Foire aux questions
How is a circus tent anchored?
With ground screws, stakes or ballast designed for the uplift and horizontal loads at each mast and perimeter point.
Can a tent carry trapeze and lighting rigs?
Yes, with a separate rated truss and designated rigging points. The structure must be designed for the dynamic loads.
What wind speed can it operate in?
The limit is project-specific and should be stated in the operating manual. A wind monitor and evacuation plan are essential.
