Structural Aluminum Framework

Sprung’s structural aluminum framework outperforms steel at every turn. Sprung uses an extruded, 6000 series structural grade aluminum framework that provides superior performance, durability, and longevity. It also has an indefinite life expectancy and comes with a 50-year pro-rata guarantee. Our one-piece extruded aluminum I-beam with an integrated membrane retainer channel is engineered to endure extreme weather and environmental conditions.

Advantages of Aluminum Over Steel

Rust proof

Essential when integrated with an architectural membrane exterior.

Environmentally Friendly

Aluminum is 100 percent recyclable, with no generational loss of quality.

Long-lasting

With an almost indefinite life expectancy, aluminum actually gets stronger with age.

Versatile

Aluminum can be extruded into virtually any shape. Connections are bolted, not welded.

Lightweight

Ideal for shipping to remote locations and easier to erect.

Aluminum Is Recyclable or Reusable

Nearly 75 percent of all aluminum ever produced is still in use today.

Extruded Membrane Retainer

Our one-piece extruded aluminum I-beam, complete with membrane retainer, eliminates the need for a separate bolt on the membrane retainer system, as typically found on fabric buildings that use a steel substructure.

A New Chapter Begins

After 138 years serving Southern Alberta, Western Tent would like to announce that our operations are being absorbed by our larger conglomerate, Sprung Structures. As we move forward, many of the products we’ve offered over the years—including residential and commercial awnings, canopies, tents and custom shelters—will no longer be available.

Thank you to all of our loyal and valued customers. Your trust and support over the years have meant the world to us. We invite you to visit www.sprung.com to see what the company’s future holds under the Sprung name.

With gratitude,
The Western Tent Team
