The Ask

The Military Museums of Calgary was looking for additional space to accommodate its Cold War Exhibit, which included three aircraft: a CF-18 Hornet, a CF-104 Starfighter and an F-86 Sabre. Overall project costs were critical to securing approval for the museum expansion.

How Sprung Delivered

Two Sprung structures were erected adjacent to the Military Museum. Designed to resemble Cold War-era Hardened Aircraft Shelters, the structures are seamlessly connected by a corridor and feature daylight panels in their peak; eye-catching, digitally printed exterior graphics; four double personnel doors; and a Dupont Tedlar Mediterranean Olive exterior membrane that complements the museum’s military theme.

The Specs

  • 50’ wide x 80’ long | 50’ wide x 100’ long Fully insulated | Daylight panels | Connecting corridor

Let’s Talk

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
