The 3x3m is considered the “standard” marquee size. It is a popular size chosen for events in all industries and organisations. Need something bigger? Consider buying multiple 3x3s instead. The smaller the size, the more structural integrity the marquee has.
The frame is made in a concertina design, so when the legs are drawn backwards, the marquee’s frame simply “pops up”. Once the marquee’s frame is open to full size, the legs of the frame are extended up to the desired height. This means that within a matter of minutes, the marquee can be set up and ready to use.
Our marquees have the potential to last years and years. We have people still using our marquees from when we first opened nearly 20 years ago! The secret is to take care of your marquee and treat it like valuable equipment. Some important tips:
- Install the marquee as per our instructions. Ensure the roof is properly secure and taut.
- Use leg weights. Sometimes one set of 15kg iron weights is not enough, it all depends on the weather conditions of the day.
- Don’t use excessive force. Avoid stepping on foot plates, yanking pull pins too hard, forcing the frame open/closed. Find where the source of resistance is and work back from there.
- Secure your marquee during transport. Ensure nothing is sliding into your marquee or vice versa.
- Don’t drag any part of the marquee along the ground. If the roof, sides, or carry bags are dragged, it will wear the fabric much quicker.
- For polyester tops, leave these on the frame when packing down. Not only is it more convenient, it actually lasts longer compared to constantly taking it off and on.
- Don’t leave your marquee unattended. From freak storms/wind gusts, to vandalism, theft, and unexplained damage, there are just too many risks that end up costing you.
- Don’t fold your marquee away when wet or damp, it needs to dry out properly to avoid mould.
