MID SECTION 30' x 15' Classic Frame Aluminum Single Tube 8' Pole and Fitting Kit

Mid Section 30' x 15' Classic Frame Aluminum Single Tube 8' Pole and Fitting Kit

The Mid Section 30' x 15' Classic Frame Aluminum Single Tube 8' Pole and Fitting Kit is a modular structural component designed to increase the length of an existing 30-foot wide West Coast Style frame system. Providing an additional 450 square feet of covered area, this expansion kit allows rental companies and event professionals to scale their structures to meet the specific demands of any site. By utilizing high-strength single-tube aluminum construction, the mid-section remains lightweight for easy transport and integration while maintaining the rigidity of a commercial-grade system. The 8-foot leg height offers an elevated interior profile, ensuring a seamless match for 30-foot wide frames configured with standard 8-foot legs.

This kit serves as a dedicated hardware expansion for a West Coast Style frame system. Because it adheres to industry-standard dimensions, all components are fully interchangeable with existing 30-foot wide inventories, allowing for simplified maintenance and modular fleet flexibility. The 15-foot expansion length is specifically engineered for professionals who need to extend a 30' x 30' or 30' x 45' frame into a larger footprint without investing in a completely new structure. Whether you are expanding a high-end wedding reception area or increasing the size of a professional tent installation for a corporate gala, this mid-section kit offers the durability required for repeated professional use.

Why the Modular Mid-Section Matters

In the professional event industry, modularity is the key to maximizing inventory ROI and adapting to diverse client needs. The Mid Section 30' x 15' Classic Frame Aluminum Single Tube 8' Pole and Fitting Kit allows you to grow your tent’s footprint while maintaining the structural integrity of the overall system. The 8-foot leg height is the preferred standard for creating a more inviting and premium atmosphere, providing superior head clearance for lighting rigs and improved airflow. For a professional event setup, adding mid-sections ensures a clean, continuous canopy line and a uniform aesthetic across the entire structure. The modular nature of the system also allows for efficient teardown and organized storage of individual components.

How to Use / Installation Best Practices

Integrating a 15-foot mid-section into a larger 30-foot wide frame requires careful alignment and a coordinated crew of 4 to 6 people during a tent installation.

Step 1: Inventory and Layout Lay out the expansion rafters, spreaders, and 8-foot legs between the existing end sections of the frame on a protective drop cloth. Ensure all R-pins and fittings are present before beginning the event setup.

Step 2: Roof Frame Integration Connect the mid-section rafters and perimeter spreaders to the existing frame using the provided side tees and crowns. Verify that every joint is secured with R-pins or pin-and-bail fasteners to maintain structural integrity across the expanded span.

Step 3: Vinyl Top Placement When using modular expansion, ensure your vinyl lace-line or expandable top is properly aligned over the new section. Lacing the mid-section top to the end sections at ground level is the most efficient way to manage the fabric before the frame is raised.

Step 4: Raising the Expanded Frame With a coordinated crew distributed along the perimeter, lift the frame in sections to insert the 8-foot leg poles. It is critical to lift in unison to avoid putting undue stress on the aluminum joints of the expanded structure.

Step 5: Secure Anchoring Expanding a frame increases its wind profile, particularly with 8-foot legs. Immediate stake driving and anchoring with heavy-duty ratchet straps at every leg—including the mid-section legs—is required. Tension the straps evenly to ensure the structure remains stable, square, and professional in appearance.
