Ten By Fifteen Structures Ltd

What Ten By Fifteen Structures Ltd does

Ten By Fifteen Structures Ltd (also trading as 10x15 Structures and Ten By Fifteen) is a UK-incorporated, founder-owned event structures company specialising in the rental of stretch tents and complementary interior equipment for high-end weddings, private parties, festivals, and corporate events. The company's core product is a proprietary composite stretch-tent fabric that is fully waterproof while remaining flexible enough to be configured into flowing, custom shapes; tents can be installed on surfaces where traditional marquees cannot function, including balconies, rooftops, boats, ponds, and uneven terrain, using ballast, eye-bolt, or ground-stake anchoring. Modular sizing spans 6x6m to 25x60m and can be combined to fit unusual footprints, with add-on services covering flooring, staging, lighting, heating, generators, and furnishings.

The business operates on a quote-based, full-service rental model: dedicated UK and French sales teams handle enquiries from quotation through to on-site event support, with directors (Duncan, Tom, and Chris) personally conducting site visits and an in-house trained crew performing setup and dismantling. Pricing is bespoke by tent size, configuration, hire period, location, and ancillary services, with no published list rates. Operations are anchored at the purpose-built warehouse in Theale, Reading (UK headquarters since 2017) and supported by regional offices in Drap on the French Riviera (since 2013, branded 10x15 Riviera) and Sorgues in Provence (since 2016). The wholly-owned sister brand The Stunning Tents Company, acquired in 2011, provides tipi rentals that are sometimes bundled with stretch-tent installations for mixed events.

Customers range from private wedding clients and event planners to enterprise brands and royal/heritage venues, with named credentials including Historic Royal Palaces (preferred supplier), Cartier, Universal, Land Rover, Nokia, Bombay Sapphire, Jim Beam, The Dorchester Group, Kensington Palace, Battersea Power Station, and Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild. Marquee installations include the largest stretch tent ever built, erected over truss for a seven-week Winter Wonderland installation in Hyde Park in 2019.
