Timber structures made for the outdoors.
Hand-built timber tents, canopies and outdoor spaces designed around the place they’re going to live.
From permanent and semi-permanent hospitality spaces to event canopies and glamping structures, we design and build practical outdoor structures using timber, canvas and materials made to handle the British weather.
Built properly. Made to belong.
There’s something about timber that just works outdoors.
It feels natural, it ages well, and when it’s designed around the right space it becomes part of the setting rather than something simply placed on top of it.
At Motion Tents, we build timber-framed tents and canopies for venues, hospitality businesses, glamping sites, events and private spaces. Each project can be adapted around the site, how it will be used and how permanent you want it to be.
No two locations are exactly the same, so we don’t think the structures should be either.
Hand-built timber structures
Our timber tents and canopies are built with care, using strong natural materials and practical construction methods. Each structure is made to feel considered, solid and at home in its surroundings.
Designed around your space
Every site is different. We can adapt the size, layout and finish of your timber structure around the space you have, how you want to use it and the look you’re trying to achieve.
Made for outdoor use
From durable timber frames to weather-resistant canvas, our structures are designed for life outdoors. They create a comfortable, sheltered space while still keeping that open-air feel.
More than just the structure
We can help take the project further with decking, finishing details and the wider setup around your tent or canopy, giving you one finished outdoor space rather than a collection of separate parts.
Why Choose Us
Quality is everything for us.
Satisfied Customers
“We wanted something that felt more permanent than a marquee but still worked naturally with the garden. The timber structure completely changed the space. It feels solid, beautifully made and like it has always belonged there. The whole process was straightforward from the first ideas through to the finished build.”
Dave Reddington
“Motion Tents helped us turn an unused outdoor area into a space we can actually use properly. They listened to what we needed, worked around the site and built a timber canopy that feels completely unique to us. The quality of the timberwork and attention to detail really shows.”
Amelia Banks
“We used Motion Tents for an outdoor event and couldn’t have been happier with the result. The stretch tent looked fantastic, gave us plenty of covered space and still kept the whole event feeling open and relaxed. Everything was set up smoothly and the team were great to deal with.”
