Frequently asked questions

Below you will find a structured answer base covering the offer, logistics, structure operating conditions and project delivery in Poland and beyond.

Choosing the solution and cooperation model

This group helps explain where to start, when rental makes more sense, when sales are the better option and how to match the structure type to the project scenario.

Does Sferum provide rental, sales or both forms of cooperation?

Sferum works both in a rental model and in a sales model. Rental is usually the right direction for events, brand activations, roadshows, guest zones and temporary projects. Sales more often apply to structures used for longer, hospitality projects, utility applications, halls and investments requiring dedicated infrastructure.

In practice, we choose the cooperation model according to the period of use, the project character, the scale of the structure and the way the space is meant to work.

How do you choose the right solution for the project type?

The best starting point is not the structure name itself, but the project objective. A brand event needs a different solution than a lounge zone, and both differ from a warehouse hall or a technical back-of-house space.

  • Dome tents perform best where visual effect and memorability matter.
  • Special and premium structures work very well in hospitality, VIP zones and higher-standard projects.
  • Tent halls and warehouse halls are the right direction wherever function, scale and operational efficiency dominate.
  • Mobile formats are a strong choice for fast deployments, roadshows and field promotions.
What is the difference between a dome tent and an inflatable tent?

The difference lies mainly in the supporting structure and the construction technology. In dome tents, a steel tubular frame carries the roof and wall membrane. In inflatable tents, the structure is held by air pressure inside double-layer inflatable elements.

Both solutions are relatively mobile, but they create a different visual effect, a different functional character and different possibilities for matching the structure to the project scenario.

Can the project be expanded with additional equipment?

Yes. Depending on the format and the project objective, the structure can be supplemented with flooring, heating, air conditioning, lighting, sound, multimedia, event furniture, connectors, side walls and other elements that increase comfort or functionality.

This is especially important in premium, conference, hospitality and longer-term projects.

Installation, transport and project logistics

Here we gathered answers related to installation time, site preparation, transport and the organization of larger spatial layouts.

How long does installation take and what does it depend on?

Installation time depends on the structure type, model size, additional equipment, anchoring method and the conditions of the delivery site.

  • Inflatable tents can be ready even within about an hour.
  • Special structures often fit into shorter installation windows, sometimes within about 2 hours for selected variants.
  • Dome tents usually require around 3 to 12 hours, depending on the model and configuration.
  • Larger halls and utility projects are planned individually because their schedule depends on scale and the scope of equipment.
Is installation possible on different surfaces and in different site conditions?

Yes. We choose the installation method according to the project site. Depending on the structure and conditions, we can work on natural ground, hard surfaces or in locations where classic anchoring is not possible.

In those cases we use, among other things, appropriate ballast, support solutions and configurations aligned with the technical project.

Can several structures be combined into a larger zone or spatial layout?

Yes. In many projects, a single structure is only part of a larger whole. It is possible to build zones composed of several tents, companion structures, back-of-house facilities, entrance areas, lounge zones or connectors.

This works particularly well when the project requires separated functions, such as guest areas, catering, exhibition, back-of-house or technical circulation.

Operating conditions, safety and user comfort

This section answers questions about winter use, rain, wind, heating, air conditioning, safety and day-to-day operation of the structures.

Can the structures work in winter and in less favorable weather?

Yes, many Sferum solutions are prepared to operate in rain, wind and colder conditions, but the final answer always depends on the specific model, configuration and usage scenario.

In our source materials and in the previous FAQ, we also stressed that in case of heavy snowfall or specific operating conditions, the proper procedures for use and ongoing supervision should be followed.

How do heating and air conditioning work in these structures?

Depending on the structure and the project objective, it is possible to use heaters, electric heating, external solutions with warm-air distribution or air conditioning that helps maintain more predictable indoor conditions.

The choice depends on the volume of the structure, the season, the period of use, the number of guests and the expected comfort standard.

What are the basic safety principles when using the structures?

As with any temporary or utility structure, health and safety rules, fire regulations and the recommendations for the specific model and equipment should be followed.

In practice, this means proper organization of installations, control of heat sources, appropriate safety equipment and using the structure in line with its intended purpose.

Projects in Poland and abroad

This is one of the most important sections in the FAQ. It covers questions about our geographical reach, international directions and how we approach projects delivered outside Poland.

Where is Sferum able to deliver a project?

Sferum delivers projects throughout Poland, in every European country, in the United Kingdom, in the United States and, individually, also in other locations worldwide.

In practice, this means that we can support event, hospitality and marketing projects, as well as utility and specialist structures, wherever logistics, timing, transport, installation and local formalities can be planned sensibly.

Do you deliver projects in specific European cities and capitals?

Yes. We serve projects across Europe, including major event, trade fair, congress and business hubs. Natural directions include Warsaw, Krakow, Wroclaw, Poznan, Gdansk, Katowice, Lodz, Szczecin, Lublin and Rzeszow, and beyond Poland also Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest, Bucharest, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Milan, Madrid, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Oslo, Helsinki, Tallinn, Riga, Vilnius, Dublin, Lisbon, Athens and Rome.

These are representative cities and markets, not a closed list. If you are planning a project in another European direction, it is still well worth discussing it with us.

Do you also operate in the United Kingdom and the United States?

Yes. We treat projects in the United Kingdom and the USA as a natural direction for premium, event and specialist deliveries. In the United Kingdom, we most often think about markets such as London, Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh, while in the United States we look at high-potential event markets such as New York, Miami, Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Austin and San Francisco.

Every international project is quoted and planned individually, with transport, schedule, scale and the scope of local support all taken into account.

Can you deliver a project outside Europe, the United Kingdom and the USA?

Yes, individually we can prepare projects beyond those core markets as well. The key factors are timing, project scale, transport method, installation scope, local regulations and the overall feasibility of the delivery.

If you are planning an event or structure in a less obvious location, it is best to raise it at the concept stage. That makes it possible to assess early which delivery model will be the most reasonable.

Where do we deliver projects?

This section organizes Sferum's geographical reach in a natural and readable way. It shows the main directions in which we deliver event, premium and utility projects.

Our reach is not limited to the cities listed above. They are representative examples of markets with strong event, trade fair, hospitality and investment potential.
