You never have to worry about your tent system becoming obsolete. Instead it just gets better and better!<\/p>\n<h2>Engineered Strength<\/h2>\n<p>All the Maximizer Tent Systems are designed to meet national engineering codes.

What is a Tent System? A dictionary defines the word system as \u201ca group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent elements forming a unitary whole.\u201d A tent system then is more than just a collection of parts that can be assembled to make a particular tent. It is a group of components that are designed and manufactured to a common set of standards that allows the whole system, in any size or configuration, to be as flexible and user friendly as possible. Think of the biggest and strongest erector set you can imagine, and you start to get an idea of how the Maximizer tent system functions. Common Parts across All Sizes &#038; Configurations Maximizer Tents are designed to reduce the inventory investment needed to operate the system in a variety of configurations. Most basic frame components are interchangeable in multiple positions and across different sizes and configurations within the system. For example, a standard 14\u2019 4\u201d eave \/ridge tube common to a 15\u2019 bay in all sizes is also used as the hip rafter in our 40\u2019 system.
