The Ask

Well-known for its College Athletics Programme, Blackrock wanted a new, state-of-the art sports facility but was facing a tight timeline and budget. The college turned to Sprung to provide an immediate gymnasium solution.

How Sprung Delivered

Blackrock’s sports facility, called the Des Places Sports Hall, was erected in a fraction of the time and cost compared to conventional construction projects. The fully insulated 80’ x 185’ structure features a hard wall “Sprung Shield” running down its interior and exterior walls in order to cover ducting while simultaneously providing a protective rebound surface. Daylight panels in the peak of the structure provide an optimum amount of natural light to enhance the playing environment. The structure also features a self-supporting canopy over the main entrance.

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
