I was negotiating these fab European structures on the eve of Covid, when I returned home with one of the first cases. Unfortunately have not made it down under yet!
The biggest of the range aluminium tents are hardworking structures and some are not out to win any glamour awards, sustainable PE spaces up to 60 m wide!

The difference between a "tent" and "arch shelter" is fundamentally the engineering. Arch Shelters are designed to fall in line with Australian Building Codes using strong tensioned membranes over steel frames. Ballast is calculated in accordance with Region Weather Ratings including some Cyclone Regions.
Industrial Tents
are a selection of
Aluminum or Steel Pavilions
which are the largest sized fabric structures available, up to 100 meters in width. Commonly used for temporary events and entertainment uses, they also have many industrial applications such as industrial barns and packing sheds. Permanent siting of Industrial Tents is ok beyond the Cyclone Belt ... i.e. 100-150k inland from the Queensland Coast or a maximum120kph locality wind speeds/gusts.
