When I read the headline I imagined a huge tent with steel beam structure and professional grade covers with HVAC and concrete footprint.

Seems everyone else imagined a camping tent. Different backgrounds I guess.

Those look like sprung structures's tents. They can get real fancy: https://www.sprung.com/

WoW. I was thinking about building a new home recently, but now I'm thinking about pitching a membrane-tensioned tax haven, cuz last time I checked, temporary structures are exempt from property taxes. This is like the ultimate real estate hack.

Yeah, my immediate picture was a blue hobo tent with some extenders sticking out of it.

I'm not sure why they even call them tents. Those are called fabric buildings. Fabric buildings have a lifespan of over 20 years[1] and this is limited by the PVC membranes, the actual steel structure can last a lot longer.

Several gates at Santa Rosa airport are in a fancy tent. You don’t even notice at first.
