Whether you operate a luxury hotel, run a bustling beachside restaurant, or manage high-profile international sporting events, creating year-round, weather-resistant outdoor environments is essential.
At Stretch Stuctures, we partner with global leaders to deliver high-end architectural shading solutions. Today, we spotlight three game-changing outdoor structures from Giulio Barbieri: Eclettica, Arcadia, and Qzebo.
We are beyond excited to announce our recent collaboration with the National Trust! We recently supplied two stunning marquees—a bold 13m royal blue single pole star marquee and a bright 10m yellow single pole star marquee—for Belton Estate’s action-packed Summer of Play!
If you are looking for a fantastic family day out this summer, Belton Estate in Lincolnshire is the place to be. Running from now until Wednesday, 2 September, their Summer of Play (supported by Pokémon) is filled with outdoor adventures, creative play zones, and magical experiences for all ages.
