Summary
Tent installers are specialists who install tents and sheets in event venues, temporary facilities, agricultural houses, etc., performing frame assembly, securing, and tension adjustment.
Description
Tent installers measure site dimensions, assemble aluminum or steel frames, and stretch tent fabric or waterproof sheets over them. They adjust tension evenly and secure them with anchors or weights to ensure safety. The work is mostly outdoors, involving crane or forklift operation, high-altitude work, or construction in bad weather. They work in teams to accommodate various applications such as event setups, construction temporaries, and agricultural houses.
