Overview

  • In recent years, hexagonal dome tents have become increasingly popular for outdoor events, commercial displays, and high-end parties. Compared to traditional square tents, hexagonal dome tents not only offer a more stylish appearance but also offer advantages in space utilization, structural stability, and visual experience.

    However, when purchasing or customizing a hexagonal dome tent, many people have a common question: "What materials are these tents made of? Which is safer, more aesthetically pleasing, and best suits my needs?"

    Today, we'll take a closer look at the common structural and roof materials used for hexagonal dome tents. Using Gaxdome's high-end custom cases, we'll help you choose the most suitable option.

    1. Main Structure Material: High-Strength Aluminum Alloy is the Preferred Choice

    The stability of a hexagonal dome tent depends primarily on its main frame. In high-end tent design, high-strength aluminum alloy is the most popular and safest choice.

    ① 6061/T6 aircraft-grade aluminum—Gaxdome's core material

    Gaxdome dome tent utilizes 6061/T6 aircraft-grade aluminum alloy in the structural design of its hexagonal dome tent. This material combines the advantages of lightweight and high load-bearing capacity, ensuring structural stability while reducing overall weight and facilitating transportation and installation.

    Wind Resistance: Withstands winds up to 120 km/h.

    Snow Resistance: Snow loads up to 75 kg/m² ensure safe use even in extremely cold regions.

    Corrosion Resistance: The anodized or powder-coated surface maintains its pristine appearance even after prolonged exposure to rain and snow.

    Environmentally Friendly and Recyclable: Aluminum is 100% recyclable, aligning with sustainable development trends.

    Compared to traditional galvanized steel pipes, aluminum alloy frames are lighter and easier to transport and install, while offering comparable strength and durability, making them ideal for long-term outdoor use.

    2. Ceiling Material: The Perfect Choice of PVC and ETFE Membrane

    One of the most attractive features of hexagonal dome tents is the large transparent or translucent roof design. Choosing the right roof material not only impacts the visual effect but also determines the comfort and safety of the tent.

    ① PVC Coated Fabric

    This is the most commonly used PVC membrane material for hexagonal dome tents, offering both aesthetics and practicality.

    Features:

    Weather-resistant: Withstands extreme weather conditions such as high temperatures, heavy rain, and snow.

    Excellent flame retardancy: Meets international B1/M2 flame retardant standards.

    UV resistance: Effectively blocks over 95% of UV rays.

    Various transparencies available: Choose from highly transparent, translucent, or opaque PVC membranes to suit your application.

    Gaxdome offers imported polymer composite films for PVC membranes, ensuring stable performance even after 10 years of outdoor use.

    ② ETFE High-Transmittance Film - The Ultimate Solution

    If your project requires exceptional visual quality, such as a clear, unobstructed view of the starry sky or the cityscape at night, ETFE film is the best choice.

    ETFE Advantages:

    Ultra-High Light Transmittance: Up to 95%, as clear as glass

    Excellent Self-Cleaning Performance: The smooth surface resists dust and rain

    Extremely Lightweight: Only 1% of glass, reducing structural stress

    Extremely Durable: Safe for over 20 years

    For high-end private parties, lavish weddings, and starry-sky camping, Gaxdome recommends ETFE as the ceiling material to create an immersive experience.

    3. Wall Material: Glass Curtain Wall and High-Transmittance PC Panel

    In addition to the roof membrane, the wall material of the hexagonal dome tent is also crucial. Gaxdome offers two main solutions based on different application requirements:

    ① High-Transparency Polycarbonate Sheet

    Lightweight and durable, with a light transmittance of up to 88%

    200 times more impact-resistant than glass

    Available in transparent, frosted, and translucent finishes

    Ideal for scenarios requiring both lightweight and excellent visibility, such as temporary dining areas and outdoor cafes.

    ② Glass Curtain Wall

    If your event emphasizes high-end design, Gaxdome can install a glass curtain wall for your hexagonal dome tent.

    Excellent visual quality creates a luxurious feel.

    4. Floor and Interior Materials: Comfort and Beauty

    In addition to the structure and ceiling, Gaxdome also pays close attention to the material selection for the floor and interior design of its hexagonal dome tents:

    Floor Materials: Non-slip wood flooring, laminate flooring, and eco-friendly PVC flooring.

    Insulation: High-efficiency thermal insulation cotton ensures warmth in winter and coolness in summer.

    Interior Materials: High-grade flame-retardant fabric, acoustic panels, and ambient lighting.
