Tent Walling, Dooring and Closing-Down Systems: The Era of Winterised Stretch Tents

Since launching the RHI Modular Walling & Dooring Systems for Stretch Tents many years ago, we have seen how popular they have become across our client base. As a result, nearly all our clients now include RHI Walling in their product offering. For example, they use it within rental fleets and for long-term installations at function venues, restaurants and other outdoor spaces.
So why are RHI Modular Walling and Dooring Systems for stretch tents so popular? The answer lies in the many practical benefits they offer you and your clients.

Plan an All-Season Stretch Tent Walling Setup

Walling has become a profitable part of many stretch tent hire businesses. It allows clients to extend the use of their tents into colder months while creating additional revenue opportunities for hire companies. Combined with an appropriate heating solution, our integrated walling and dooring systems help reduce draughts and retain warmth. Therefore, they create a more sheltered environment for winter functions.

Modular & Adaptable Walling for Different Tent Configurations

RHI Stretch Tent Walling adjusts to fit many tent sizes and configurations. In addition, it can respond to changing weather conditions. Options range from enclosing a single side for wind protection to creating a full enclosure for greater shelter. However, when the weather improves, users can roll up the walling and secure it out of the way.

You can also fit optional zipped doorways into standard RHI walling panels. They create practical, designated entry and exit points while maintaining the versatility of the structure.

Available as complete sets or individual wall panels, RHI Walling suits a floating canopy, a corners-down configuration or a combination of both. This flexibility lets you configure the system around the chosen tent setup.

Clear Views or Greater Privacy — You Choose

Large, clear, fire-retardant windows allow you and your guests to enjoy uninterrupted views while remaining sheltered inside. For added privacy, we also offer the side walls in solid fabric. These create a more enclosed setting and can screen back-of-house areas from guests.

Elevate your stretchtent experience with RHI’s sophisticated walling and dooring solutions. Seamlessly integrated, fully sealed and elegantly frameless, they transform open-air structures into beautifully appointed, weather-protected spaces—finished to the highest standard and heated for exceptional comfort, whatever the season.

Lightweight Components and Straightforward Setup

Our walling systems are exceptionally lightweight and simple to set up. Using our uniquely developed Walling and Closing-Down Systems, combined with significant advancements in Velcro technology, RHI Stretch Tents can be fully sealed and enclosed to create a weather-protected environment.

When crews pull sections of the stretch tent down to close the perimeter, they can attach skirts directly to the tent’s perimeter Velcro. This helps seal the natural scalloped gaps that occur between the perimeter pegs. In addition, it provides greater enclosure and improved protection from wind and weather.
