Inflatable Tent

Light Weight Tent Structure
We constructed this air structure out of 11 oz per square yard urethane coated nylon fabric. Note that there are loop patches to attach the lightweight tent to the structure and attach the structure to the ground. This structure is 8 ft by 8 ft by 8 ft tall. It weighs 11 lbs. The tube diameters are 6 inches. The hose hanging down is designed to attach to a gas cylinder for quick inflation. There is a 4 psi pressure relief valve included in the air structure. The material on the "feet " is 18 oz urethane coated nylon 840 denier fabric.

Inflatable Tent with the Cover
This inflatable tent is designed as a command center or decontamination center. It is 12 ft wide and 20 feet long. It has double zip up doors on each end. The system weighs 181 lbs. This tent can be inflated and in place in 10 minutes when 2 people are working with it.

Inflatable Tent Structure
This is the picture of the inflatable tent skeleton. It is entirely welded. There is no glue in this structure. No glue failure will result over time in storage. This structure will inflate in 20 years as well as it does in the first year.

Inflatable Tent Rolled Up
This is a picture of the inflatable tent rolled up just before we put it in the protective bag. This gives an idea of how much room can be saved with a structure this size.

Valves and Tank for Inflatable Tent Rapid Deployment
This photo shows a closer shot of how the valve system works on this inflatable structure. There are a number of valve configurations that can be used on inflatable boats tents and structures. We have contacts to get the right kind of valve for your project.

Inflatable Tents with Ballast Tubes
Here are 4 tents set up for a quality control session. the one on the left has a water ballast tube attached. It is important to note that water pressure can exceed 100 psi, so please stay present while inflating the water ballast tubes.

Inflatable Wall Tent
This inflatable wall tent has some unique features including a silicone roof jack, cordura fabric and an inflatable skeleton that consists of separate arches and cross tubes. There are 2 sizes 12 X 16 X 9 feet high and 12 X 10 X 9 ft high. To see how the individual cross members were tied in place and how the air was distributed to them follow this link to see the inside of the 12 X 16 unit.

Inflatable Tent is as Big as a Barn
This inflatable then has 19 inch diameter tubes. It is 22 wide 22 ft long, and 16 feet high at the top. It is being used extensively for repairs on the Alaska Pipeline. This tent also lashes together in sections. See the inflatable sections before they had skins put on them.

The Start of the 6 Sided Inflatable Dome Tent
This is the center of the inflatable dome skeleton. This concept will allow for more square footage area to be built with less labor cost in an inflatable tent. There is certainly more labor to put six legs together than to do 4, but we will only have to do one connection in the middle instead of 15 or so like on some of the other structures in this section. The amount of square footage for labor cost will be dramatically increased. See the concept of the Hexapus. The inflatable tubes in this drawing would be 19 inches in diameter. Where the test piece was 9 inches in diameter.
