Pati,
I spoke with the owner of Northwest Canopy and he told me several things about tents.
1. Their products are engineered and written documentation can be provided upon request. They will provide
certification for wind, snow and seismic loading. The membrane, attachments and supports are all designed and
the installation would comply with the engineered design.
2. They offer both temporary and permanent solutions. He indicated that in some instances, generally long
term, it would be less expensive to build a site built permanent conventional structure. For occasional or
temporary use it may be less expensive to rent a tent from his company.
I hope this input helps you. If the city decides to allow tents it sounds like the provider can guarantee an
installation that will hold up to natural forces. I would still consider having them carry insurance.
