Circus tent build

Circus tent going up. Sorry for the super long video and the cuts from 2 different locations. I got many of the steps involved i.e. stake pounding, lifting of the king poles & quarter poles & lifting the canvas. Although I missed other steps like taking everything off of the trucks, rolling out the canvas, and then putting everything into the tent. Anyhow super fun summer, Super cool crew. Tour was with Flynn Creek Circus touring in Northern California during the summer of 2016.

Where does someone get a circus tent in the U.S.?

[@skypieper]

Good question. I think this one came from the east coast of the U.S. I'll ask and get back 2 you. I know there are more circuses in Europe, and that tents occasionally make there way to the U.S. second hand. Otherwise you gotta have big bucks to get a tent.

Best tentmakers are italians. Quarterpoles are now a thing of the past, modern canvas beeing able to span up to 20m. Nice video btw :-)
