Structure & materials
What you need to know about your tente pagode
The pagoda tent is the most versatile modular structure in the event fleet: a square format with a pointed central ridge, standard dimensions from 3 × 3 m to 10 × 10 m, that can be placed side by side as a gallery to create reception spaces, welcome areas, VIP zones or covered walkways. Its elegant silhouette — pointed roof, clean lines, generous height under the ridge — sets it apart at once from the utilitarian pop-up gazebo and positions it as the premium solution for welcome functions, catering areas and cocktail modules. It is the go-to structure when you need a compact signature module with strong visual impact.
Materials & construction
- Anodised aluminium or white lacquered galvanised steel frame
- PVC canvas 650 g/m², white or ivory, M2 fire-rated
- Pointed central ridge, height 5 to 8 m depending on size
- Removable side walls: solid, with windows or crystal depending on the configuration
- Native ground or optional technical flooring
- Options: central suspended lighting, radiant heating, integrated furniture, printed signage on the valances
- Standard sizes: 3 sizes from 3 × 3 m to 5 × 5 m (9 to 25 m²) — 3, 4, 5 m spans, 7 to 20 guests at a seated meal
For which event?
Welcome area & VIP zone
For an event welcome point, a check-in desk or a gala VIP zone, the 5 × 5 m or 6 × 6 m pagoda tent creates a signature module that is seen from afar and naturally guides guests. The pointed silhouette sticks in the memory and shapes the overall flow.
Cocktail & welcome drinks
For a cocktail of 30 to 80 people, the 6 × 6 m or 6 × 12 m pagoda tent offers an airy space under a high ridge that immediately sets a refined reception mood. By placing 2 or 3 modules side by side, you easily cover 150 to 250 guests at a standing cocktail.
Premium exhibitor stand
At a trade show or an upmarket commercial fair, the 5 × 5 m pagoda tent acts as a premium exhibitor stand that immediately stands out from standard pop-up gazebos. The silhouette works with demanding brand guidelines and takes neat signage dressing.
Foundation-stone laying & opening
For a foundation-stone laying, an opening or an official launch, several pagoda tents placed side by side create a modular event setup that goes up quickly (2 to 4 h per module), with a prestige finish in keeping with an institutional ceremony.
What to plan for
- Ground: grass, gravel, tarmac or hard slab. Anchoring with stakes or ballast depending on the ground type.
- Access: assembly by 2 to 3 people, no specialist machinery required. Standard transport.
- Setup time: 1 h 30 (5 × 5 m) to 4 h (10 × 10 m). Very quick to deploy, even by a non-specialist team.
- Wind: holds up to 80 to 100 km/h depending on size and anchoring. To be reinforced for exposed sites.
- Side-by-side layout: modules connectable via fabric corridors or directly edge to edge to create continuous galleries. Layout to be validated on the plan in advance.

Our tente pagode formats
Our fleet includes pagoda tents in several sizes and configurations: white canvas, side dressing, transparent walls and PVC doors for uses that require full enclosure.
The pagoda tents can be connected to each other and to other structures (marquee, stretch tent) to create coherent ensembles with different levels of finish according to the zones.
The technical options include lighting, heating, flooring and furniture to adapt each module to its use within the overall configuration.
Prices and budget for tente pagode hire
The price of a pagoda tent is among the most affordable in the fleet. The unit cost per module rises moderately according to the options chosen. Hiring a set of pagoda tents remains very competitive compared with a specialised tent.

Everything to know before hiring your pagoda tent
8 practical answers to prepare your pagoda tent hire: capacities, prices, materials, logistics.
The pop-up gazebo has a flat or low-pitched roof and a utilitarian silhouette. The pagoda tent has a pointed central ridge that creates an elegant, recognisable silhouette, with a generous height under the ridge (5 to 8 m). The pagoda tent sits in the mid-range (€€) for "reception" functions, where the pop-up gazebo stays in the accessible range (€) for technical functions.
Yes, and it is one of the main uses. Pagoda tents connect to each other via short fabric corridors or directly edge to edge to create continuous galleries, multi-zone spaces (welcome + cocktail + VIP) or modular event setups. The layout is set out on the site plan in advance.
5 × 5 m size (25 m²): 25 people at a cocktail, 16 at a seated meal. 6 × 12 m size (72 m²): 60 people at a cocktail, 35 at a seated meal. 10 × 10 m size (100 m²): 90 people at a cocktail, 50 at a seated meal. For higher capacities, you place several modules side by side or switch to a marquee.
The stock of pagoda tents is larger than that of marquees or glass marquees. Typical booking lead time: 2 to 4 weeks in mid-season, 1 to 3 months in high season. For multi-pagoda setups (> 4 modules) in high season, allow 2 to 3 months.
The cost of hiring a pagoda tent depends on the size, the number of modules, the options chosen (crystal walls, flooring, central lighting), the length of use and the service area. As a guide, the ranges seen in 2026 for a turnkey service: €800 to €1,500 excl. VAT per 5×5 m module, €1,200 to €2,500 excl. VAT per 6×6 m module, €2,500 to €4,000 excl. VAT per 10×10 m module, delivery and setup included. For multi-pagoda setups (a gallery of several connected modules), reduced rates beyond 3 units.
Ideally, allow 3 to 6 weeks to prepare your event with peace of mind and keep your choice of options and equipment. In high season (May to September) or for a wedding, book 6 to 12 months ahead. For urgent requests, our teams can step in within 48 to 72 h depending on availability and the complexity of the project.
