2008 Beijing Olympic Games

1. Project Overview

During the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, KENTEN served as an official tent supplier, delivering a wide range of A-structure Tents and elegant Pagoda Tents to support operations across Olympic venues in Beijing and surrounding areas. These structures were used for security checkpoints, resting areas, and hospitality lounges—providing essential support for both functionality and guest experience throughout the Games.

2. Key Features & Benefits

A-structure Tents (Security Checkpoints)

Designed with clear spans of up to 50 meters and adjustable heights to accommodate high-volume security screening with flexible layouts.

Modular construction enabled quick assembly and disassembly, ensuring consistent design across dozens of checkpoints.

Built using high-strength aluminum frames and flame-retardant PVC fabric, delivering durability, safety, and crowd comfort in a high-traffic environment.

Pagoda Tents (Spectator Rest & Hospitality Areas)

Iconic high-peak roofs and classic silhouettes provided shaded, welcoming spaces for audience to relax between events.

Compact and stylish modular designs allowed for easy customization with sidewalls, ventilation features, and branded elements.

Seamlessly integrated into venue architecture, enhancing both the visual and experiential quality of public areas.
