Flame-retardant FleXtents® pop-up gazebos with B1 certification

Flame-retardant FleXtents® pop-up gazebos are designed for events and professional environments where documented fire performance may be required.

They combine the familiar FleXtents® folding construction with flame-retardant roof covers and sidewalls, making them suitable for fairs, exhibitions, markets, promotional events and other situations where organisers or venue operators may require proof that the shelter complies with specific fire-safety standards.

The flame-retardant models are available in selected FleXtents® PRO and Xtreme configurations, making it possible to choose a solution that matches both the frequency of use and the demands of the event.

When do you need a flame-retardant pop-up gazebo?

At many fairs, exhibitions, indoor events and organised markets, the organiser or venue may require tents, stands and textile materials to meet a documented fire classification.

The exact requirements can vary depending on the country, venue, event type and local regulations. It is therefore important to check the organiser's requirements before choosing your gazebo.

A FleXtents® pop-up gazebo with B1-certified fabric provides documented flame-retardant performance and can be a practical choice when such certification is requested.

What does B1 flame-retardant certification mean?

B1 is a fire classification used for building materials and textiles tested for their reaction to fire. A B1-certified material is classified as flame retardant according to the relevant test standard.

This does not mean that the fabric is fireproof or cannot burn. It means that the material has been designed and tested to reduce flame spread compared with untreated combustible materials.

You should always follow the fire-safety requirements of the venue or event organiser and keep the relevant documentation available where required.

Designed for professional event use

Flame-retardant FleXtents® are particularly relevant for professional users who regularly attend events where documented fire performance forms part of the technical requirements.

Typical users include:

• exhibitors at trade fairs
• market traders
• event and rental companies
• sports clubs and associations
• promotional teams
• municipalities and organisations
• companies attending indoor and outdoor events

They can also be chosen by private users who prefer a gazebo with flame-retardant fabric, even where no specific certification is required.

FleXtents® PRO or Xtreme – which should you choose?

The flame-retardant models are available in selected FleXtents® PRO and Xtreme versions.

FleXtents® PRO is designed for frequent professional use and combines a strong aluminium frame with relatively low weight, making it practical for regular transport, setup and dismantling.

FleXtents® Xtreme is the strongest FleXtents® series and is intended for intensive and demanding professional use where the gazebo forms a regular part of event equipment.

The right choice depends on how frequently the gazebo will be used, how often it will be transported and the level of durability required.

Sizes, colours and configurations

Flame-retardant FleXtents® are available in selected sizes, including 3x3 m, 3x6 m and 4x4 m, with black or white roof covers and sidewalls depending on the configuration.

The folding frame allows quick setup without tools, while sidewalls can be added or removed depending on whether you need an open stand, a more enclosed exhibition space or additional shelter.

Always check the individual product specifications to confirm the exact size, colour, series and certification supplied with the model.

Flame-retardant FleXtents® with digital print

A flame-retardant FleXtents® can also be used as a professional branding surface.

Depending on the selected configuration and print option, you can add anything from a logo on the valance to extensive digital graphics across the roof and sidewalls. This makes the gazebo suitable for trade fairs, product launches, roadshows, sporting events and other activities where clear visual branding is important.

If fire certification is required at the event, make sure that the chosen printed configuration also fulfils the applicable requirements.

Fast setup, transport and storage

Like other FleXtents® pop-up gazebos, the flame-retardant models use a folding frame that allows fast setup and dismantling.

Once familiar with the system, two or more people can erect many standard models in approximately 60 seconds. No tools are required for the basic folding setup.

After use, the gazebo folds down into a compact format for transport and storage. A suitable transport bag helps protect the frame and cover between events.

Secure your FleXtents® correctly

Fire performance and structural safety are separate considerations.

A flame-retardant cover does not change the need to anchor the gazebo correctly. The appropriate anchoring method depends on the size of the gazebo, the surface and the weather conditions.

Use suitable pegs, storm straps, weights or another appropriate anchoring solution, and always monitor changing weather conditions. FleXtents® are temporary shelters and should be dismantled in strong wind, heavy rain or other severe weather.

Is a flame-retardant FleXtents® right for your event?

Choose a flame-retardant FleXtents® when the organiser, venue or local requirements call for documented fire performance, or when you simply prefer the added reassurance of a certified flame-retardant fabric.

Before ordering, check the required certification, gazebo size, colour, FleXtents® series and whether you need sidewalls, printing or other accessories. This helps ensure that the gazebo meets both the practical and technical requirements of your event.
