Optional Extras

1) Wooden sub-frame with timber boards

Square timber joists form the base layer and are laid across the span of the structure. Once laid, pressure treated / impregnated chamfered boards (2.95m or 4.95m x 50cm dependent on bay distance) are then laid on to the timber base. These are locked into place by wooden battens that are fitted to the underside of the boards. A special aluminium extrusion is then fitted, every 3m - 5m, along the length of the structure securing the flooring in each bay.

2) Galvanised steel sub-frame with wooden boards

Highly effective in terms of initial cost and general usability, the steel sub-frame floor systems creates a level and solid platform on which to base your event.

The system comprises of galvanised steel framework split into two layers, rectangular cross bearers and square joists. The first layer consists of cross bearers with integrated base-plates, which are anchored to the ground with earth anchors. The second layer is made up of steel joists, which are secured by steel lugs located on the first layer. Pressure treated / impregnated chamfered boards (4.95m x 50cm) are then laid on to the steel sub-construction. These are locked into place by wooden battens, which are fitted to the underside of the boards. A special aluminium extrusion is then fitted every 5m along the length of the structure securing the flooring in each 5m bay.

Once the flooring system is laid, the structure is ready to be erected directly on to the floor by connecting the legs to the integrated base-plates.

3) Cassette system with coated laminated ply or aluminium boards

This system is normally used for hexagonal, octagonal and dodecagonal structures but is also available for all “A” frame standard structures. The system consists of a lightweight extruded aluminium perimeter section with integrated steel base plates. When the base-plates are in place and all necessary measurements have been taken, the internal aluminium profile sections can be positioned. These sections are positioned at intervals of 3.00m or 5.00m across the span and act as bearers for the boards. Once all the sub-frame is in place the boards are ready to be positioned. The boards (available in various shapes and sizes dependent on the type of structure) are manufactured from a 22mm multi-ply timber, which is coated with a non-slip surface to the top section. The perimeters of all boards are fitted with aluminium banding which protects the edges of the board during general usage and transportation.

The Ring-beam cassette floor system from RÖDER HTS is available for all party tent and big tent structures. The system consists alloy ground floor extrusions and interlocking cassette boards.

There are two sizes of cassette board. For party tents (3.00m bay distance), the boards are sized at 1.00m x 2.85m and for all big tent structures (5.00m bay distance); the boards are sized at 1.00m x 2.35m.

All boards are fitted with a special ‘male’ and a ‘female’ extrusion screwed to each long side and these sections lock into each other when laid next to each other. When laid, the boards are positioned on the sub-floor extrusion, which runs across the span of the structure.

The sub-floor extrusion is hollow in design. This special feature is designed for two reasons. First, when used on party tent structures, 3.00m – 10.00m in span, special weights can be easily positioned within the extrusion and covered with a filler panel. Therefore, when the weights are used there is no need for earth anchors because the structure is weighted against uplift within the static calculation value specified for the party tent range. Therefore all party tent structures can be erected on any surface without the need for additional site preparation, for example drilling or using external weights in times when the ground surface cannot be damaged. Alternatively, when internal weights are not being used, standard earth anchor stakes can be used for erection on grass or hardcore etc.

Secondly, when weights are not being used or the structure is greater than 10.00m in span the extrusion is designed to carry cabling or services through the structure (internal dimension 150mm x 80mm).

Board technical specifications:

Board size (party tent structures): 1.00m x 2.85m

Board size (big tent structures): 1.00m x 2.35m

Board thickness: 21mm

Weight per panel (party tent): 39kg

Weight per panel (big tent): 33kg

Point loading (kgm²): 350kgm²

Standard wood type / finish: 3-ply cross-glued with smooth wood finish or non-slip surface to top with smooth underside. Exposed sides are coated and sealed to reduce water impregnation alternatively (at extra cost); the board ends can be fitted with special alloy protection guards.

Available on all big tent structures, our lightweight integrated ABS solid walling system is quick and easy to install. The system works on the basis of four ABS panels per 5m bay. These panels are secured by the simple configuration of the supplied hardware kit that consists of 4 types of alloy profile.

The RÖDER HTS, ABS solid walling system can be used in conjunction with, or without, our integrated flooring systems making it more flexible than other systems currently available on the market. When the structure is set up on a grass or hardcore surface, the special ground tray sits directly on the ground spanning base-plate to base-plate.

To add flexibility, ABS panels may be exchanged for glass panels and single or double door units may be added within any bay section as the ABS walling system and glass-walling systems use the same hardware components.

Adding ABS solid walling to your existing or new structure enhances the overall effect giving the structure the feel of a permanent building with the flexibility of being easily re-locatable.

To protect your investment RÖDER HTS supplies specially designed galvanised steel transportation stillages for our glass walling and door systems.

General specification:

The easy screw-fix-system for the tensioning of the roof and gable covering is available on all party and big tent systems. The system is simple to use and does not involve unsightly ratchets and straps on the exterior of the structure. The unit simply fits into the bottom two channels of the roof beam.

Once in place, tension is applied by the spindle mechanism by screwing down the adjustable locking device which then applies pressure to the bar, producing a perfectly tensioned roof sheet. Bar tensioning is available on all RÖDER HTS party and large event series structures. However, bar tensioning is supplied as standard on all structures 25m in span width and upward.

High quality, robust and built to last, RÖDER HTS door units are supplied as single or double door units. All door systems are supplied with a standard height of 2.10m – with the optional header sections available for 2.40m - 3.00m and 4.00m eave heights. Header sections are available in glass or with a solid centre section. This system allows for maximum flexibility for door units within your inventories as the door units can be used across the complete range of available structures.

Our "poly-glass" windows are visually pleasing and built to last. They are available in Georgian or contemporary designs. All window walls are manufactured using the finest PVC material and constructed using the latest in all- weather adhesives and high frequency welding. Poly-glass windows are available in all sizes for all structures. Standard white wall sections can be upgraded to window walls when purchasing a complete structure.

Manufactured from a combination of galvanised steel and anodised alloy, portal beams are available across all product lines. Portal beams are required when the side / bracing wires are removed. For example, one side of the structure needs to be left open on the day of an event or glass walls or a door unit are needed to be positioned in a bracing / wire bay. The use of the portal beam enables an unobstructed view or access whilst maintaining the structural integrity of the building.

Half hexagonal, octagonal or dodecagonal sections can be added to the end bay of any “A” framed structure. Standard conversion kits can be fitted easily to any structure up to 50m in span. In addition, lean-to units may be added at any time – ideal for service areas like bars and catering units.

Alternatively, or to be used in conjunction with special end sections, peaked roof conversion kits may be used on all “A” framed structures. The peaked roof spans across two bays 3m or 5m bays. This results in a tensile creation pleasing to the eye whilst adding a new dimension to your existing structure.

Please note that on structures with a span width 15.00m upwards, larger sized uprights and trusses are required for stability.

Standard linings are available for all structures in a variety of colours and fabric types. Standard linings are supplied in either 2oz or 4oz machine washable FR polyester. Our linings can be made to fit any size of structure with either a pleated or flat finish. All fabrics used meet all current EU flame retardancy requirements.
