About Arcum Tents
The Arcum Tent – JDBT Series is a modern tent structure featuring a curved roof design that blends aesthetics with durability. It is widely used for exhibitions, festivals, sports events, and storage applications, offering both style and reliable performance. The streamlined arch profile distributes wind load efficiently — a critical advantage in the UAE's high-temperature, sand-exposed environment where structural integrity must be maintained across all four seasons.

Key Features & Applications
- Curved aerodynamic roof minimises heat buildup and reduces wind resistance — essential for UAE summer conditions where temperatures regularly exceed 45°C.
- Modular 5m bay system allows the structure to scale from a compact 10×10m exhibition stand to a 25×50m industrial storage hall without custom fabrication.
- Aluminium T6-6061 alloy frame is corrosion-resistant and approximately 30% lighter than equivalent steel, reducing foundation load and enabling faster installation.
- Suitable for exhibitions, product launches, sports events, Ramadan tents, outdoor dining, industrial storage, and temporary warehousing across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah.
- Optional side-wall configurations include solid PVC, mesh ventilation panels, clear windows, and branded printed fabric — fully customisable for corporate or branded events.
- Sealed eave-to-gutter drainage system channels rainwater away from the structure, maintaining interior dryness during rare but intense UAE rainfall events.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum size available for Arcum Tents in the UAE?
The JDBT Series offers span widths of 10m, 15m, 20m and 25m, with ridge heights up to 7.33m. Length is extended in modular 5m bays and has no fixed maximum, which makes Arcum Tents suitable for everything from small product activations to large industrial storage yards. Because the structure is clear-span, the whole interior is free of internal poles regardless of length, so it can be laid out freely for seating, exhibition stands, stage sets, racking or vehicle access. When choosing a size, it helps to start from the use: the number of guests and the seating style for an event, or the footprint of the goods and the turning space for forklifts in a warehouse. The ground conditions and the space around the tent for anchoring and access also matter. Our team surveys the site and recommends the span and number of bays that fit both the use and the available ground.
Are Arcum Tents suitable for year-round outdoor use in Dubai's climate?
Yes. The curved aluminium profile and the 850 GSM UV-stabilised PVC cover are engineered for surface temperatures above 70°C, intense solar radiation and the sand-laden winds common in the UAE, and the sealed gutter system keeps water out during rainfall. Dhilal Al Qamar has installed Arcum Tents across all seven emirates with no structural failures reported under standard operating conditions. The curved roof helps in two ways: it sheds sand and rain without letting them pool, and its aerodynamic shape presents less resistance to strong winds than a flat-sided structure. For long-term use, anchoring is sized for the site's ground conditions, which may be concrete, asphalt or sand. Interior comfort in summer depends on ventilation and cooling, so for events or occupied storage we can plan air-conditioning ducting, insulated linings or ventilation panels. For semi-permanent installations we recommend periodic inspections of the anchoring, tension and gutters.
Can Arcum Tents be branded or customised for events and exhibitions?
Absolutely. We offer full digital printing on the PVC fabric panels, custom RAL powder-coat colours for the aluminium frame, and a wide range of sidewall options, including clear PVC windows, mesh ventilation panels and solid printed walls. Branded Arcum Tents are a popular choice for trade shows, product launches and corporate hospitality events throughout the UAE. Branding can cover the roof, the gable ends or the sidewalls, so the tent itself becomes part of the event's visual identity and can be seen from a distance or in aerial photography. Inside, we can add flooring, lighting, glass doors and air-conditioning to turn the structure into a finished venue rather than a basic shelter. For recurring events, printed panels can be stored and reused with the same frame. Our team works from your artwork and brand guidelines, and we confirm print proofs, colours and layout with you before production begins.

The Arcum Tents specifications on this page — spans, frame materials, fabric weights, load figures and warranty terms — are set by Dhilal Al Qamar's own design and engineering department, the same team that produces the shop drawings, structural calculations and wind-load analysis for every project we deliver. Structures are then fabricated at our Sajja, Sharjah facility and installed by our own trained crews rather than subcontractors, so the figures published here are the ones we build to.
