10' x 80' Classic Frame Aluminum Single Tube 8' Pole and Fitting Kit

10' x 80' Classic Frame Aluminum Single Tube 8' Pole and Fitting Kit

The 10' x 80' Classic Frame Aluminum Single Tube 8' Pole and Fitting Kit is a heavy-duty structural foundation designed for maximum linear coverage and increased vertical clearance in professional event and industrial settings. Providing 800 square feet of covered area, this kit is an essential asset for any rental company managing large-scale logistics, such as massive registration corridors, expansive food service lines, or extended VIP walkways. By utilizing high-strength single-tube aluminum construction, the frame remains lightweight for manageable transport while providing the rigidity of a commercial-grade system. The 8-foot leg height offers a more spacious interior profile, improving airflow and visibility for high-traffic environments.

This kit serves as a comprehensive hardware foundation for a West Coast Style frame system. Because it adheres to industry-standard dimensions, all components are fully interchangeable with existing West Coast inventories, allowing for simplified maintenance and modular fleet flexibility. The 10' x 80' footprint is specifically engineered for sites with restricted lateral space where an extreme amount of length is required. Whether you are providing a weather-protected entrance for a major convention or performing an industrial tent installation for long-term inventory protection, this single-tube kit offers the durability required for repeated professional use.

Why the 8-Foot Single Tube System Matters

Maintaining structural integrity and perfect alignment over an 80-foot span is a significant engineering challenge. The 10' x 80' Classic Frame Aluminum Single Tube 8' Pole and Fitting Kit is engineered to stay square and secure, preventing the sagging or "snaking" often seen in long-format structures. The 8-foot legs provide additional head clearance, which is critical for such long, narrow structures to avoid a "tunneled" feeling for guests. For a professional event setup, this translates to a clean, continuous canopy line that facilitates the installation of overhead lighting, signage, and fans. The modular nature of the frame also allows for efficient teardown and organized storage.

Key Features

• High-Strength Single Tube Aluminum: 2-inch diameter anodized aluminum tubing for a lightweight yet rigid structural frame.
• 8-Foot Eave Height: Elevated leg height provides superior interior clearance and improved comfort for guests and staff.
• West Coast Style Compatibility: Fully interchangeable with standard West Coast Style poles, fittings, and vinyl tops.
• Heavy-Duty Welded Steel Fittings: Includes all necessary crowns, side tees, and corners manufactured from zinc-plated steel for maximum durability and rust resistance.
• Extra-Long 800 Sq. Ft. Footprint: Designed for massive linear queues, catering corridors, and narrow-access areas.
• Corrosion-Resistant Materials: Anodized aluminum and plated steel components are built to resist oxidation through years of outdoor exposure.

How to Use / Installation Best Practices

Assembling an 80-foot-long frame requires careful alignment and a coordinated crew of at least 8 to 12 people to ensure a safe tent installation.

Step 1: Inventory and Site Layout

Clear the installation path and lay out all rafters, spreaders, and 8-foot legs on a protective drop cloth. Organize the components to ensure all R-pins and fittings are present before beginning the event setup.

Step 2: Roof Frame Assembly

Assemble the roof framework at ground level by connecting the crowns to the rafters and the perimeter spreaders. For an 80-foot length, verify that every joint is secured with R-pins or pin-and-bail fasteners to maintain structural integrity and prevent the long frame from bowing or shifting during the lift.

Step 3: Vinyl Top Placement

While the frame is still low to the ground, pull your 10' x 80' vinyl top over the structure. Centering the top and securing it to the perimeter spreaders at this stage is the safest method to manage the heavy fabric before the frame is lifted.

Step 4: Raising the Frame

With a coordinated crew, lift one 80-foot side of the frame and insert the 8-foot leg poles into the fittings. Repeat the process for the opposite side. It is critical to lift in unison to avoid putting undue stress on the aluminum joints over the extreme span.

Step 5: Critical Anchoring

Long, narrow structures are highly susceptible to lateral wind forces. Immediate stake driving and anchoring with heavy-duty ratchet straps at every leg is required. Tension the straps evenly to ensure the structure remains stable, square, and professional in appearance.
