Whether you’re planning a wedding, corporate event, outdoor festival, or any large gathering, investing in a marquee tent is a smart choice. But what exactly is a marquee tent, and how do you choose the right one? Let’s dive into everything you need to know.
WHAT IS A MARQUEE TENT?
A marquee tent is a large, versatile tent designed for hosting events and providing shelter. These tents are durable, stylish, and customizable, making them ideal for outdoor occasions. Marquee tents are commonly used for weddings, church gatherings, exhibitions, private parties, and commercial events due to their spacious interiors and elegant aesthetics.
PEG AND POLE TENT VS. FRAMED TENT: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
When choosing a marquee tent, it’s essential to understand the difference between peg and pole tents and framed tents:
- Peg and Pole Tent:
- Supported by central poles and secured with pegs and ropes.
- Requires soft ground for installation (grass or soil).
- Traditional, elegant look with high peaks and swooping curves.
- More affordable but needs extra space for staking.
- Framed Tent:
- Supported by a steel frame without centre poles.
- Can be set up on any surface, including concrete and asphalt.
- Provides unobstructed interior space for layout flexibility.
- More expensive but offers better durability and stability.
