When it comes to tensile structure, fixed or mobile whatever it is, we can assure you that we know what we are talking about. At AmarantoIdea we deal with tensile structures from So everything we're about to tell you about the advantages and disadvantages of stable and mobile tensile structures is based on our experience.
If you are thinking of making a industrial tensile structure for your company, a covered riding school, agricultural tunnel or you need a marquee for special occasions, this information could be valuable.

Fixed or mobile tensile structure? The main differences
It is clear to think that the main difference between these two types of structures is in the mobility sectors, and this is definitely a key factor!
But we should ask ourselves: Why are some structures fixed and others mobile? The biggest difference is in fact in the materials used to make the structure itself.
Mobile tensile structures require a lightweight and easy-to-handle skeleton. For this reason, they are usually made of aluminum.
Furthermore, they must be assembled and disassembled quickly. This is why at AmarantoIdea we have chosen a type of structure plug & play.
For these reasons, the mobile tensile structure is essentially more expensiveAluminum is more expensive than iron or steel, precisely because of its incredible lightness and strength!
On the contrary, the fixed tensile structures They don't require a particularly light frame: they won't have to be dismantled for a long time!
For this reason, given the same size, they are often cheapestThe savings are mainly in the structural material which in this case is steel o anodized iron.
In reality, In AmarantoIdea it's the opposite: Thanks to our consolidated experience, network of suppliers, and the unique plug & play formula of our mobile aluminum tensile structure, we can guarantee it at an even lower price than a fixed one!
But how do you choose the best structure for your needs?
Mobile tensile structure: the advantages
The first and greatest advantage of the mobile aluminium tensile structure is undoubtedly the possibility of being assembled and disassembled in a very short time – we're talking about a couple of days.
This type of structure is well suited to events, trade shows, and businesses requiring solid seasonal coverage. Our mobile tensile structures include everything from large event tensile structures to agricultural tunnels up to the naval covers.
Another advantage is in legal terms: the mobile tent structures they do not require a building permitWe talked in detail about permits and legal distances for tensile structures in our article, which we refer you to if you want in-depth information.
We can certainly tell you that temporary tensile structures with installation times of less than 90 days do not require a building permit. They are not permanent structures!
However, other specific permits are required based on the intended use of the structure.
Temporary structures are therefore recommended in all cases where:
- you need a temporary or seasonal coverage;
- you are not able to apply for a building permit;
- if it is foreseen that the structure, even if currently designed as fixed, could be moved to the future;
- you are willing to wait as long as necessary for assembly and disassembly;
- you are willing to spend more – even if at AmarantoIdea it is the opposite.
The fixed structure: the advantages and disadvantages
Regarding the type of structure used for a fixed tensile structure, we're usually talking about steel. In this case, a building permit will also be required.
Fixed tensile structures are perfect for covered riding arenas, industrial warehouses or car covers.
