A German hanger structure is not just a tent—it’s a precision-engineered system made up of multiple structural components working together to ensure strength, safety, and stability.
Understanding parts like rafters, purlins, and support systems is important for event planners, especially when handling large-scale setups.
At Siraj Decorators, we use high-quality components to deliver safe and reliable German hanger installations.
1. Main Frame (Structural Skeleton)
The entire German hanger is built on a strong aluminum framework.
✔ Made from high-grade aluminum alloy
✔ Lightweight but extremely durable
✔ Rust-proof and corrosion-resistant
👉 This forms the base structure of the hanger
2. Rafters (Primary Roof Beams)
Rafters are one of the most important components.
What are Rafters?
Rafters are sloping beams that form the roof shape of the hanger.
Functions:
✔ Support the roof covering
✔ Transfer load to vertical supports
✔ Create the peak height of the structure
👉 They define the shape and strength of the roof
3. Purlins (Horizontal Roof Supports)
Purlins work together with rafters.
What are Purlins?
Purlins are horizontal members placed across rafters.
Functions:
✔ Provide support to the roof fabric
✔ Distribute load evenly
✔ Increase structural stability
👉 They act as a secondary support system
4. Columns / Side Supports
These are the vertical members on the sides.
✔ Support the entire roof structure
✔ Transfer load to the ground
✔ Maintain structural balance
👉 Essential for overall stability
5. Base Plates & Anchoring System
A strong base is critical.
✔ Base plates connect structure to ground
✔ Anchoring done using bolts or weights
✔ Ensures wind resistance
👉 Prevents movement during harsh weather
6. Bracing System
Bracing adds extra strength.
✔ Diagonal supports
✔ Prevents shaking or bending
✔ Improves wind resistance
👉 Important for large-span hangers
7. Roof Covering (PVC Fabric)
The outer layer of the hanger.
✔ Waterproof
✔ UV-resistant
✔ Fire-retardant options available
👉 Protects from weather while maintaining aesthetics
8. Side Walls (Optional Panels)
Depending on event needs:
✔ PVC side covers
✔ Glass walls
✔ ABS hard panels
👉 Used for enclosed, premium setups
9. Gutter System
In large setups:
✔ Rainwater drainage system
✔ Prevents water accumulation
👉 Important during monsoon events
10. Flooring System (Optional but Recommended)
✔ Wooden platforms
✔ Carpet flooring
✔ Raised flooring
👉 Enhances comfort and premium look
How All Components Work Together
- Rafters create the roof structure
- Purlins support and stabilize the roof
- Columns carry the load
