What Advantages Are The Aluminum Modular Structures?

What are the main advantages of the aluminum modular structures? 

(1) Removable 500 times+ in different sites. 

(2) Remain 70~80% cost  in second-hand sales.

When choosing a tent, the material is the key factor to determine its performance, durability, and economy. Currently, the most common tent structures on the market mainly include aluminum alloy tents and steel structure tents. And the result is a greater number of customers opting for aluminum alloy tents. 

Next, we will compare the differences between aluminum tents and steel tents in detail to help you make a more informed choice.

Because the density of aluminium is much lower than that of steel, under the same volume, the weight of an aluminium structure tent is only about one third of that of a steel structure tent.

Here are several advantages of lightness:

(1) Lower Transportation Costs:Lighter weight means lower logistics costs, especially for inter-regional or international transportation.

(2) Easier to Install:No heavy machinery is required, allowing for manual handling and assembly, which dramatically reduces erection time.

(3) Adaptable to Complex Terrain:Low load-bearing requirements on the ground allow flexible setups in grass, temporary sites, and other environments.

(4) An aluminum tent frame can be as thicker than a steel frame, but still lighter than steel structures.

The biggest weakness of steel is its susceptibility to rust, especially in humid, coastal areas. Even after galvanization or spray-paint treatment, rusting can still occur after prolonged outdoor exposure, regular anti-corrosion treatment is required.

In contrast, aluminium has a huge advantage. A dense oxide layer will naturally form on the surface of the aluminum alloy, this durable layer protects aluminum tent frames from corrosion and rust. Since the oxidized outer layer is part of the metal, you don’t have to worry about it chipping away over time. 

Aluminum alloy is a 100% recyclable material with a high recycling rate of over 95%, and the recycling process has low energy consumption, aligning with global sustainable development trends. In contrast, the recycling process for steel is more complicated and can generate more pollution.

Our aluminum Alloy Tent adopts a modular structure, where all components can be pre-assembled and connected by bolts without welding. In contrast, steel structure tents usually require on-site welding, which is time-consuming and increases construction difficulty and labor costs.

An aluminum fabric building is removable and relocatable, so it can be effectively recycled many times for use at different locations and for different purposes.

All-aluminum alloy tents outperform steel structure tents in terms of weight, ease of assembly, aesthetic appearance and corrosion resistance, and have become the choice of more and more people as a temporary space solution.

The structure of our tent is made entirely of aluminum!
