KENTEN Double-deck Structures for Major Events

A High-End Event Architecture

In premium events and memorable activities, space efficiency, visual impact, and operational performance are essential. A KENTEN Double-deck Structure is a multi-level modular aluminum structure designed to maximize usable floor area within a limited footprint while delivering the architectural presence expected at the highest level of global events.

KENTEN Double-deck Structures are engineered as high-performance event buildings rather than conventional tents. These structures are relatively new to the market and have already gained significant popularity among event organizers for various exhibitions, events, concerts, or sporting, cultural, and entertainment activities.

For European and North American markets—where safety standards, crowd loads, and broadcast visibility are strictly regulated—KENTEN Double-deck Structures offer a proven solution that bridges the gap between permanent buildings and ordinary temporary event tents in the past F1 games.

What Is a KENTEN Double-deck Structure?

A KENTEN Double-deck Structure is a modular aluminum structure featuring two fully usable floor levels supported by an engineered primary frame and integrated flooring system. Unlike standard single-level tents, double-deck systems are designed to safely accommodate high live loads, dense occupancy, and premium hospitality functions on the upper level.

Key structural characteristics include:

• 6061/T6 high-strength aluminum alloy framework
• Engineered load-bearing flooring system for upper deck use
• Clear-span interiors on both levels
• Integrated staircases for either inside or outside the structures
• Compatibility with insulated walls, glass systems, and climate control
• Suitable for temporary, seasonal, or semi-permanent installations

These structures are widely adopted in sports activities, brand demonstration, exhibitions, cultural ceremonies, business venues, institutional buildings.

Engineering Principles Behind Double Decker Structures

KENTEN Double-deck Structures are more than ideal with rapid installation, climate resilience  and architectural impact. These structures are designed with a reinforced systems that safely transfer loads from the upper deck through the frame into the foundation system.

Key engineering considerations include:

• Load capacity suitable for various occasions
• Lateral stability under crowd movement and wind loads
• Integration of floor beams and decking systems
• Compliance with European and North American safety standards
• Redundant structural paths to enhance safety and reliability

This engineering approach ensures that upper decks remain stable, comfortable, and compliant.

Key Benefits of KENTEN Double-deck Structures

KENTEN Double-deck Structures provide significant functional and commercial advantages for premium events:

• Maximized uses of space within limited area
• Clear separation of functions
• Strong architectural presence for brand activation
• Fast installation and dismantling
• Modular design suitable for repeated global deployment
• Compatibility with climate control and banner systems

These benefits make KENTEN Double-deck Structures a preferred choice. In addition, a balcony could make a significant impact on the outdoor event landscape. These structures not only feature on the outer appearance, but also take care about inner function. With clear span design, the  interior could be divided into multiple zone on a same level, such as work-out, cafe, meeting, networking, etc.

KENTEN Double-deck Structure vs. Single-Level Event Structures

Double Decker vs. Single-Story Hospitality Tents

Single-level tents remain suitable for basic event functions, but they often fall short in space efficiency and spectator experience for premium events.

KENTEN Double-deck Structure vs. Permanent Hospitality Buildings

Permanent buildings offer longevity but lack flexibility. KENTEN Double-deck Structures deliver comparable hospitality performance with greater adaptability.
