A great choice for permanent installations, frame tents have one obvious difference from their pole tent cousins: their method of roof support. Unlike pole tents which require a center pole to support their roofs, frame tents have been specifically designed to work without any intrusive central support. As a result, frame tents tend to have a more spacious feel and better layout flexibility. The same structural differences also make these frame tent shelters ideal for use in situations where staking isn't possible, such as an indoor marketing conventions or applications where your tent needs to be installed against another structure.
