The components of a pop-up tent

A pop-up pavilion is composed of multiple individual components. But what are they called and what do they do? We have prepared a clear overview that shows the pop-up tent and its key parts, with a brief description of each.

The main structure

The pop-up pavilion can basically be divided into six main components:

1. Tent roof

Protects against sun (UV radiation) and rain.

• Material: polyester, approx. 210–260 g/m²
• Design: customizable printed advertising surface

2. Corner connector with release button

Connects the tent legs to the support bars and provides stability in both the open and closed position.

• Types: pull latch, switch, button, or blocker
• Material: reinforced plastic and aluminum

3. Tent wall

Protects against sun, wind, and rain. The tent offers maximum stability with walls on every side.

• Types: solid, with window, with door, or half-height
• Material: polyester, approx. 210–260 g/m²

4. Tent frame

The basic structure of the tent, to which the tent roof and side walls are attached. The frame consists of individual scissor profiles that are connected to each other by connecting pieces.

5. Height adjuster with locking function

The height of the legs can be adjusted in three different levels.

• Material: reinforced plastic and aluminum

6. Anchoring / weight
