American Pavilion recently had the opportunity to install rental tents for a classic automobile auction held by Christies Auction House. The automobiles were previewed in a main PERMATENT® which measured 100' x 180'. These tents were carpeted and lighted to create a "finished" look. A number of smaller tents were installed to connect the main tents with each other and to an existing building. Although a number of challenges had to be overcome for this installation, the biggest challenge was the fact that these tents were installed in a courtyard of an office building. Access to the courtyard was limited by size and weight restrictions. Tent parts, some of which were over 34' long and weighed over 300 pounds each, had to be unloaded from our semi-truck and reloaded to a smaller truck for the 250' long drive through the middle of the office building. American Pavilion was also required to follow the client's strict guidelines for days and hours permissible for installation. A pleasant but challenging surprise presented itself during the installation of the main 100' x 180' PERMATENT®, when the client announced, unexpectedly, that they would require an additional tent, a 100' x 114' PERMATENT® for audience overflow. American Pavilion's crew responded by cleaning, loading and transporting the tent over 300 miles, all within a 24-hour period. American Pavilion owns one of the largest clear-span PERMATENT® inventories in the world, and specializes in the most challenging installations, anywhere, anytime.
