Event Shed produced 2,500 square metres of<br />
matting for Stunning Tents with only a few<br />
weeks’ notice, ensuring the timely delivery<br />
of many events for their clients.<br />
The PapaFlex matting has grown in<br />
popularity over the past five years, replacing<br />
other types of less practical flooring such<br />
as carpet and coir. Its functional nature<br />
means it is fast becoming the global<br />
leader for tent flooring, with sales in the<br />
UK, Europe, America, Australia and New<br />
Zealand. Not only is it functional, but it<br />
looks great, meaning that the hard-wearing<br />
PapaFlex matting can be seen at every event<br />
from large scale festivals, like Wilderness,<br />
Glastonbury, Download and Hyde Park<br />
Winter Wonderland, right through to the<br />
most luxurious and intimate weddings.<br />
Event Shed has recently developed its offer<br />
and now provides matting for glamping<br />
tents too.<br />

Product: PapaFlex tent matting<br />
Supplier: Event Shed, 077760 56650, hello@<br />
eventshed.co.uk, www.eventshed.co.uk<br />
Details: The Event Shed team has over 15<br />
years’ experience in the events industry<br />
understanding the DNA of the market<br />
and exactly the type of products event<br />
professionals require. After spending years<br />
developing PapaFlex, its most popular event<br />
matting, it was delighted to provide it to<br />
Stunning Tents, the UK’s leading supplier of<br />
Tentipi giant Nordic tipis and an exclusive<br />
Sperry Tents partner.<br />
Supplying large tents to events up and<br />
down the country, Stunning Tents used the<br />
matting at numerous high-end weddings<br />
and events throughout summer 2021.<br />
“Working with Stunning Tents has been<br />
the dream,” said Richard Monaghan, cofounder<br />
of Event Shed. “They have a clear<br />
vision for how their event flooring needs<br />
to look and we’re delighted to be able to<br />
deliver on that vision. Timing is critical and<br />
we work hard in a tough market to ensure<br />
delivery and short lead times. To see our<br />
product at such high-profile events has been<br />
wonderful!”<br />
Working to tight lead times in 2021, after<br />
the uncertainty of Covid restrictions and the<br />
affect on weddings and large-scale events,<br />
“THE PAPAFLEX<br />
MATTING HAS GROWN<br />
IN POPULARITY OVER<br />
THE PAST FIVE YEARS,<br />
REPLACING OTHER TYPES<br />
OF LESS PRACTICAL<br />
FLOORING SUCH AS<br />
CARPET AND COIR”<br />
Feedback: Co-founder and director of<br />
Stunning Tents, Tom Bucknell, said: “We<br />
work in such a fast-paced industry and<br />
delivery is key. Having worked with the<br />
Event Shed team for many years, they<br />
never fail to deliver. The PapaFlex matting<br />
is important to us for its functionality, but<br />
it also looks great and clients love it. We<br />
work with high net worth individuals and<br />
therefore everything we provide has to be<br />
of the utmost quality. Event Shed always<br />
understands this.”<br />
