The Ask

In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina, a powerful Category 5 hurricane, struck the Gulf Coast of the United States, ravaging New Orleans and its surrounding areas. In the storm’s wake, the Salvation Army needed immediate, safe and cost-effective structures to assist with disaster recovery in the region.

How Sprung Delivered

Sprung supplied several durable, 11,200-square-foot structures within three weeks of receiving the Salvation Army’s order. Each of the structures featured engineered interior partitions, which helped workers provide a variety of different services during the recovery period, including food distribution, Sunday School, youth activities and more.

The Specs

  • 70’ wide x 156’ long | Daylight panels in peak
  • Two - End sliding doors | Three - Double personnel doors
  • Partition wall complete with double personnel door
  • Earth anchor system

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
