ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for tensioning fabric and particularly, but not exclusively, to a method and apparatus for tensioning a fabric support by a frame in a marquee. A tensioner (2) is provided with a mounting device (4) for mounting the tensioner to a frame (100) of a marquee and a connector (6, 8, 42), which connects the mounting device (4) to a fabric to be tensioned. The connector (6, 8, 42) includes a resiliently bendable elongate member, (6, 8) which is resiliently connected to the mounting device (4) and includes an engagement device (42) which engages the fabric so as to permit a transfer of force between the fabric and the mounting device (4). The tensioner thereby allows fabric to be tensioned in a convenient and rapid manner.
