40' x 160' Gable Series Frame

40' x 160' Gable Series Frame

The 40' x 160' Gable Series Frame is an ultra-heavy-duty commercial hardware system designed to support a massive 6,400-square-foot "house-style" canopy. For rental companies and industrial event planners, this frame serves as the essential structural skeleton for an expansive, high-capacity gable-ended shelter. Unlike traditional hip-roof frames that slope on all four sides, the Gable Series features vertical triangular end-caps. This design provides a flat, prominent surface at each end, making it the premier choice for high-visibility branding, custom signage, or creating a professional, seamless architectural connection between distant permanent structures. This kit includes all the necessary aluminum rafters, spreaders, and reinforced steel fittings required to maintain a rigid 160-foot span, providing a stable and professional event setup.

The Gable Series is engineered to provide an open, airy feel with a consistent ridge height across the entire 160-foot length. Because this is a frame-supported system, it does not require center poles, maximizing the 6,400 square feet of usable space for massive banquet dining, multi-zone corporate events, or large-scale industrial storage. This hardware is optimized for tent installation on various surfaces, including concrete, decks, and asphalt, where traditional staking may be limited. This frame is precisely calibrated to ensure the correct pitch for water runoff while maintaining the sharp, clean lines required for modern logistics and high-capacity rental operations.

Why the 40' x 160' Gable Series Frame Matters

The 40' x 160' Gable Series Frame matters because it offers a high-capacity functional solution for exceptionally long, wide-span spaces. For businesses and rental companies, the vertical gable ends provide a superior canvas for high-impact graphics or customized maintenance-friendly vinyl. Structurally, the 40-foot width provides massive interior depth, making it ideal for double-sided banquet seating, large equipment storage, or sheltered vehicle access. For logistics teams, the standardized West Coast Style tubing lengths ensure that the frame can be easily integrated into existing inventories, simplifying warehouse workflows and ensuring rapid deployment for specialized linear events.

It utilizes standard 2" diameter aluminum tubing and is compatible with most standard West Coast Style base plates and anchoring hardware. Please note that this product includes the metal frame only; it does NOT include the vinyl tent top, side curtains, or anchoring equipment.
