Traditional Pole Marquees
Most traditional pole marquees are made of canvas, which is kept under tension by support poles and guy ropes. The guy ropes are then attached to soft ground. This requirement to be fastened to the ground to maintain its stability is one of the limitations with pole marquees.
Because pole marquees cant be on hard surfaces, their use is rather limited. Once other types of marquee came onto the marquee hire market that offered more versatility in where you could put them, pole marquees became a thing of the past.
Aluminium Frame Marquees
Modern frame marquee design allows them to be positioned on car park areas, on a beach and or even on the deck of a barge. Because they rely on a rigid aluminium frame to hold the tent structure together, frame marquees can easily be located on hard or soft surfaces. And have the benefit of not having support poles getting in the way inside the tent.
This versatility allows frame marquees to be able to be located over garden ponds, swimming pools, trees & shrubs and flower beds. This allows for a more visually exciting and interactive event area. Frame marquees are also a lot more stable and have a longer life, which is especially beneficial for marquee hire.
Another benefit of frame marquees is that they can easily be erected against a wall, using it as a wall for the marquee. This is perfect for garden parties and wedding receptions, where the back entrance to a house can be used.
Frame marquees are made from a PVC or PE (polythene) material. These materials benefit from being stronger and much easier to maintain and clean.
Pavillion Marquees
Particularly popular with corporate events, are high peak tents. Pavillion tents are for the most part the same in design as frame marquees, having floating pole, which is held in place off the ground by cables that run across the tent above head height.
This floating pole, gives these marquees their characteristic look. They are visually appealing, from the outside and within due to their elegant shape.
Pavillion marquees have the look of pole marquees and the structural advantages of frame marquees. They can easily be erected as they have fewer parts and can be joined together for larger events more easily.
Crest Marquees
A large corporate event that has multiple pavillion tents joined together makes for a unique sight and has helped to influence many large steel buildings around the world. If you look at building such as the Olympic Stadium in Munich and the International Airport in Denver, it is clear to see obvious similarities to Pavillion marquee design.
Branded Marquees Design
Marquees Tents are usually constructed of parts that can easily be used to attach many marquees together, making them more ideal for music festivals and large corporate events.
Many larger companies are now, starting to buy their own and maintain marquees for themselves. Sometimes this marquees are too expensive for some target.
