Important to know is that the quality of the material from which the marquees are made, no matter which type you choose, is the best quality that money can buy. Never does DIY Marquee advocate for less than satisfactory materials which may compromise the quality of your marquee. Prices will vary accordingly but the quality of the marquee will not. Roof and side panels made from either 500d gsm or 650gsm Rip-stop polyester with polyurethane coating ensures longevity in the material through multiple erections and sustaining in all types of weather conditions. Retardant to the ultimate conditions including fire due to the nature material which is flame retardant to BS5438 & BS7838 which for safety and security is a critical requirement.
All piping is made from Aluminium for both equal and unequal framework pipes. The major advantages of using aluminium is linked to the excellent properties which aluminium has which ensure excellent strength to weigh ratio, is corrosion resistant, non-toxic and recyclable all while providing electrical and thermal conductivity and light and heat reflectivity. Anything less than this multipurpose alloy would be insufficient for the purpose.

This is a 4-season marquee suitable for year round use although added safeguards should be taken in snow and other extreme conditions. Size guides can vary greatly according to your needs and due to the variety of designs that a marquee can be created with. A good example would be a 6x12m marquee which can seat 70-80 people at round tables but if you are looking for the addition of a allow for buffet tables and/or a dance floor then the capacity for tables would be radically reduced. Extended or odd-shaped areas and shapes can be covered by connecting several marquees together.

Marquee flooring packages are designed to be easy to lay whilst giving one of the best finishes available in a marquee using new carpet, available in red, green or honeybeige.
Included in each package is a non-breathable underlay, this is placed underneath the carpet when laying to prevent the build-up of condensation during your event (grass gives off a lot of water vapour if not covered). Grass is very tough so covering for a week or so will not generally cause any harm.
The marquee flooring is simply nailed in place -hammer, nails, cutting knife and a tool belt are included in the package. Watch our marquee flooring video to see how easy it is to lay.
This is the flooring and method of laying used by most of the marquee hire industry.
