Tech/Engineering - Textiles / Clothing / Fashion | | French term or phrase: Textile tendu | Les structures en textile tendu sont largement utilisées pour l’organisation de manifestations temporaires.

| | | stretch fabric | Explanation:
Freeform or Stretch Tents and Marquees differ dramatically from PVC clear span and peg/pole marquees.
The unique 100% waterproof BEDOUINFLEX™ two-way stretch fabric means their capacity for transformation and re-invention of space is spectacular. Re-determining a constructed space is simply a matter of repositioning poles.
We use the name FreeForm or Stretchee Tents to describe the unique ability to stretch and shape the tent to suit individual sites or client requirements.
