Why Our Fabric Is Changing the Tent Game

Tent materials aren’t exactly known for innovation — until now. At Motion Tents, we’ve developed a next-generation fabric that’s redefining the performance, comfort, and longevity of outdoor structures.

Here’s why our material is setting a new industry standard.

The Problem with Typical Tent Materials

Most outdoor fabrics on the market are either too heavy, too flimsy, or simply not built for long-term use. They fade in the sun, trap moisture, grow mold, or pose fire hazards — not exactly ideal for professional-grade environments.

Our Solution: A Fabric Like No Other

We use a UK-developed, custom-woven 407g poly-cotton fabric that blends the best of both materials:

• 52% Polyester for strength and weather resistance

• 48% Cotton for breathability and softness

Our fabric features woven-in ripstop reinforcement, giving it a sleek appearance while delivering exceptional tear resistance. It's available in a wide range of vibrant, long-lasting colors, making it ideal for everything from stylish event tents to rugged professional gear.

Built for Safety & Performance

We take safety seriously, which is why our fabric meets BS 7837 fire retardancy standards. It’s also:

• UV-Resistant – Won’t degrade under prolonged sun exposure

• Mildew-Resistant – Designed to perform in damp environments

• Highly Durable – Maintains shape, strength, and look over time

This makes it a trusted choice for studios, production environments, and premium outdoor events.

Beyond Tents: Versatility You Can Count On

While perfect for our timber canopy range, our fabric is also ideal for:

• Military tents and applications

• Bespoke awnings and stretch tents

• Outdoor furniture covers

• High-performance uniforms and gear

We’ve invested in this material so you don’t have to compromise — on style, on safety, or on performance.
