The Ask

Released in 1997, Starship Troopers is an American science fiction film about an interstellar war between humanity and alien species over the colonization of outer space. Production of the movie involved a number of logistical challenges—not only did the sets need to look futuristic (the film was set in the 23rd century), they also had to be easily shippable for use in various locations while filming. Plus, the crew had to deal with fierce weather conditions during most of the shoot in Wyoming.

How Sprung Delivered

In addition to the “Planet P Station” structure, the client leased support structures from Sprung as well—special effects, wardrobe, props, craft services, the grid department and set construction all had their own structures, which led to enormous overall cost savings on the production.

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
