Transparent crystal tensile structure: types and uses

The elegant and innovative transparent crystal marquee has been one of the most popular structures in recent years for outdoor events and weddings. We could perhaps call it the queen of structures for its class and flexibility of use. Weddings, sporting events, and concerts—these are the reasons why the transparent crystal marquee is most popular. Let's take a look at the types, uses, and costs of renting crystal marquees for events.

The transparent double-pitched crystal tensile structure

This type of glass marquee is the most common and requested, but also the most traditional. It can be square, rectangular, or hexagonal in shape . It usually comes complete with wooden flooring, which can be covered with carpets suitable for different uses. This type of structure has become very popular in recent years for weddings and events, including trade shows.

Why is it so beloved by future spouses? Because it allows you to take advantage of the large outdoor spaces of typically summer venues even in winter. Or because it provides an excellent plan B in case of rain when planning an outdoor wedding. The main feature of the crystal tensile structure is the transparency of the PVC fabric – which is also found on the roof. This feature makes the crystal tensile structure much more elegant than traditional white canvas tensile structures, making it suitable for classy weddings. Furthermore, its transparency offers unparalleled freedom in terms of customization and decor . The structure allows you to experience an outdoor wedding in a pleasant, heated environment, even in winter. In short, a choice that is sure to impress your guests!

The classic transparent crystal tensile structure, however, isn't the only type of crystal structure available. An even more innovative crystal structure , already gaining popularity in our country, is the geodesic dome. Let's explore its features in detail.

Transparent crystal geodesic dome

Crystal geodesic domes are nothing more than transparent hemispherical tensile structures resting on a circular base . Geodesic domes are extremely evocative and functional structures: sturdy and resistant to snow loads and strong winds, they ensure stability in any environment. While still rarely used for weddings – due to cost and size – they are rapidly becoming popular for corporate and musical events . Our transparent crystal geodesic dome tensile structures have been used for events, even large ones, as evidenced by the images in the gallery below. However, there are at least two other uses for these structures. The first is now widespread throughout the world. The second is rather recent but rapidly growing. We are talking about glamping and educational domes, respectively. What are they?

Glamping is an innovative way to camp, to experience the outdoors without sacrificing comfort and elegance. In short, we like to call it luxury camping. With the return to nature in recent years, the demand for outdoor accommodations has increased, but often without compromising on comfort and privacy. Hence the idea of ​​creating campsites made up of small, partially transparent geodesic domes, well-spaced to ensure privacy. Gazing at the stars from the warmth of your blankets, right from your own dome-like room, is certainly a magnificent experience!

On the other hand, partly due to the Covid-19 emergency, domes are beginning to spread in the world of education . What are we talking about? Transparent crystal tensile geodesic dome structures used as an innovative extension of school buildings. In addition to ensuring health and safety, these structures are also suitable for alternative teaching methods, in harmony with nature. We discussed these experiences in our article on tensile structures for schools.

But how much does it cost to rent a transparent crystal tensile structure? And what about a geodesic dome?

Transparent crystal tensile structure rental

We've learned that transparent crystal marquees are an excellent choice for both weddings and unforgettable events. Domes, on the other hand, can be used for truly creative purposes! The cost of renting a marquee of this type actually varies greatly depending on these factors:

• dimensions;
• flooring;
• crafts – circular or hexagonal structures tend to be more expensive because they are more evocative;
• type of entry – door with ZIP opening, single or double leaf with anti-panic handle for large structures.

It is difficult to give a price without knowing these basic features, to which other factors can be added such as the length of the rental period, the installation location and ancillary services – such as air conditioning/heating and lighting.
