Structure & materials
What you need to know about your tente rooftop
The rooftop tent is an event structure specifically designed for urban roof terraces: ballasting suited to the absence of ground anchors, technical anchoring on base plates, a mandatory prior load study and a silhouette that fits into a dense architectural environment. In high demand for client cocktails, brand evenings and corporate events on the roofs of office buildings in Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux and other cities, it combines a demanding technical constraint with a premium event result. The cost of hiring a rooftop tent depends on the prior technical study (permissible roof load, crane access, building constraints), the size, the options and the duration. As a guide, the ranges seen in 2026 run from €3,000 to €6,000 excl. VAT for a medium size (60-100 cocktail guests) to €8,000-15,000 excl. VAT for the large sizes (150-250 guests), including the mandatory technical study.
Materials & construction
- Aluminium or lightweight steel frame optimised for low surface weight
- PVC canvas 650 g/m² M2 fire-rated, partial transparency possible depending on the configuration
- Anchoring: ballasted ground base plates (no invasive fixing) — 100 to 300 kg per point
- Height under the ridge: 3 to 4 m, optimised to avoid the sail effect
- Options: roof-protection flooring, electric radiant heating, low-consumption LED lighting, crystal walls
- Standard sizes: 15 sizes from 6 × 10 m to 15 × 30 m (60 to 450 m²) — 6, 10, 15 m spans, 50 to 375 guests at a seated meal
For which event?
Client cocktail on a corporate rooftop
For a client evening, an after-work or a loyalty cocktail held on the roof terrace of a head office, the rooftop tent protects the event against the vagaries of the weather while keeping the "panoramic view" effect that justifies the choice of venue. Capacity 60 to 150 guests at a standing cocktail.
Product launch & urban brand activation
For a brand activation in the heart of the city (car launch, property unveiling, fashion press evening), the rooftop tent combines a recognisable urban setting with professional event comfort. The photo/video result takes in the skyline.
Prestige private party on a roof terrace
For an upmarket birthday, an engagement party or a premium family event, the rooftop tent turns a Parisian roof terrace (or one in Lyon, Marseille or Bordeaux) into a one-of-a-kind reception venue for 40 to 100 guests.
Property opening reception
For developers and landlords opening a building or a new scheme, the rooftop tent on the roof of the building creates a signature event impossible to reproduce elsewhere: the view, urban staging, architectural signature.
What to plan for
- Prior load study always carried out: validation by a structural engineering firm (BET) of the permissible roof load. Lead time 2 to 4 weeks.
- Access: goods lift, wide staircase or crane lifting. Coordination with the jointly owned building or the landlord is essential.
- Anchoring: ballasting by removable elements only — no invasive fixing on the roof. 100 to 300 kg per anchor point.
- Wind: roof terraces are over-exposed — preventive evacuation protocol beyond 60 km/h forecast.
- Regulations: building or landlord authorisation, BET sign-off, prior declaration to the town hall depending on height and duration.

Our team supports event organisers across France with a complete tent hire offer rooftop. The rooftop tent is designed for installations at height or on a terrace: a light structure, anchors adapted to load constraints and a ballasting system for waterproofed surfaces. It allows rooftop spaces to be used for drinks receptions, receptions or premium events with an open view. We operate across the whole country, with teams that can be mobilised quickly to coordinate the setup, the access and the technical equipment. For an outdoor wedding, a corporate cocktail reception or a private reception, we size the structure, the guest flow and the technical options (flooring, lighting, heating, lining) to deliver a result that is durable, clear and consistent with your budget.
Our tente rooftop formats
Our rooftop tents are available in several surface areas, with ballasting anchor systems suited to roofs and lightweight materials to limit the structural load.
The options include transparent walls to keep the view, integrated LED lighting and high-end furniture. We confirm the sizing with a load study if necessary.
Every rooftop project is the subject of a preliminary technical visit to assess the access constraints, the strength of the supporting structure and the operating conditions.
Prices and budget for tente rooftop hire
The price of a rooftop tent includes the preliminary technical visit, the specific ballasting equipment and, where applicable, the costs of coordinating with the building manager.
These projects are priced on a quote after a visit: the technical complexity of each rooftop is too variable to offer a standard price grid.
For a tent hire service rooftop in France, you receive a full estimate within 24 h including delivery, setup, takedown and logistics coordination.
Setup, installation and logistics for tente rooftop
Our teams handle the installation and delivery across the whole country, with a precise schedule agreed in advance with your reception venue.
Installation on a rooftop calls for specific coordination: access by stairs or goods lift, protection of the existing waterproofing, and validation of the anchors with a structural technician if the loads are significant.
We carry out a full check before and after the event to make sure the roof has suffered no damage. Takedown is planned to minimise disruption.

Everything to know before hiring your rooftop tent
8 practical answers to prepare your rooftop tent hire: capacities, prices, materials, logistics.
The price includes the prior technical study (roof load, crane access, BET sign-off), which accounts for 15 to 30% of the overall quote. As a guide, the ranges seen in 2026 run from €3,000 to €6,000 excl. VAT for a medium size (60-100 cocktail guests), to €8,000-15,000 excl. VAT for the large sizes (150-250 guests), technical study included. Logistics (crane, goods lift, access through the jointly owned building) can be a significant item depending on the configuration.
Yes, at several levels. 1. Authorisation from the owner / jointly owned building / landlord. 2. A technical study by a structural engineering firm validating the permissible load. 3. Prior declaration to the town hall depending on height and duration. 4. ABF (Bâtiments de France) attention in protected areas. Our team supports you through all the procedures.
Overall lead time: 2 to 4 months depending on the complexity of the case. Technical study 2 to 4 weeks, building approval 2 to 6 weeks, town hall declaration 1 month. For recurring prestige events (head offices), once the technical study has been done, subsequent installations can be carried out in 3 to 4 weeks.
Roof terraces are zones over-exposed to wind (the Venturi effect between buildings). The structure is sized to EN 13782 standards for winds of 80 to 100 km/h in standard configuration. Beyond that, a preventive evacuation protocol is triggered. The site survey assesses the risks specific to the site.
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.
Our catalogue covers every format: glass marquee and cathedral glass marquee (signature prestige), orangery (grand-style prestige), marquee from 5 to 20 m wide, nomadic stretch tent (Berber tent) from 50 to over 500 m², transparent crystal tent, silhouette tent (sailcloth), bamboo marquee, reception tipi, velum tent, arched tent, modular pagoda tents (3×3 m to 6×12 m), pop-up gazebos, folding tents, rooftop tents, decked-platform structures, canopies, as well as demountable halls, storage tents and large-span structures for B2B uses. Capacity from 20 to over 2,000 people.
We operate across the whole of France, with priority coverage of the major conurbations (Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, Marseille, Nantes, Strasbourg, Toulouse, Lille, Nice…) and their outskirts within a 50 km radius. Transport and logistics coordination are included in every quote, with no hidden costs.
Yes, setup and takedown are always handled by our professional teams and included in the service: you don't have to provide labour or coordinate hauliers. Only transport charges apply, depending on the distance and the volume of equipment, and they are stated clearly in your quote, with no surprises.
