Modular General Purpose Tent System. MGPTS.18’x36′

The MGPTS is ideal for Disaster Relief efforts and Emergency Shelters and has been deployed in Earthquake relief efforts and tent camp building. The MGPTS utilizes tensioned fabric to create a structure which distributes wind, rain and snow loads from the fabric directly to the support system.

Because of this design, the MGPTS distributes loads efficiently with lighter support systems than conventional tents.
The MGPTS serves as billeting, command and control, unit supply and field services shelters. The modular design consists of one type end, and intermediate sections, one type side pole and one type center pole.
The system is 18 feet wide and can be extended indefinitely by adding 18 foot intermediate sections.
