Aerodynamic look

Fiesta’s new generation of tents, the Legacy Series, is now offered in 40- and 50-foot-wide sizes. With its curved lines, the Legacy Series boasts aerodynamic qualities and an innovative look that is sure to draw the eye of everyone in the industry. Combining the advantages of frame tents and clear span structures, this product is designed to add value to anyone’s tent rental inventory and create a unique and practical hospitality area for any hotel, private club or golf course. Features include kedered roofs and walls; a curved crown connection that promotes easy installation of the roof covers by preventing the keder from snagging in the joints; rigid connectors; and a frame that assembles without any nuts or bolts. In addition, the new Legacy extrusion creates lightweight rafters and uprights which allows for erection with only a four-man crew while maintaining the structural integrity of the frame. Also recently featured on the 40- and 50-foot-wide Legacy is a 24-degree roof slope for superior water shedding and higher interior space; a bigger and sturdier frame and, last but not least, a swivel base plate to facilitate raising the arches.

The chair is versatile, both modern and vintage, and can be dressed up or down to complement any design vision. Customers use the chairs for head tables at weddings, for VIP lounges, galas, and anywhere else their needs and imaginations take them. The main feature of the Louis XVI chair is the interchangeability of the chair pads, allowing rental stores to create a number of different looks by exchanging pads from one frame to the other. The frame and the pads come in four different colours: white, black, gold, and silver, as well as a stunning clear-back option. The Louis XVI chair’s frame is constructed of aluminum ensuring that the chair is strong while remaining light and easy to handle and manoeuver.
