When considering purchasing a marquee there are many things to consider. Consider the type of events you’ll be hosting. Weddings, corporate events, festivals, and private parties each have unique requirements. For instance, weddings often demand elegant and stylish designs, while festivals might require larger, more durable structures.
How often will you use the marquee? For frequent use, invest in a high-quality, durable marquee. If it’s for a one-time event or occasional use, a more budget friendly option might suffice.
The location where the marquee will be set up is crucial. Ensure the marquee can withstand the harsh Winters in the UK. Wind, rain, and sun exposure all affect the type of marquee you should choose. For example, coastal areas may require marquees with higher wind resistance.
One of the most important decisions to make is determining the size of the marquee based on the number of guests and the nature of the event. Ensure there is enough space for seating, dining, dancing, and other activities. Use marquee size calculators available online to get an accurate estimate.
Look for marquees made from high-quality materials. The fabric should be durable, waterproof, and UV resistant. The frame should be sturdy, preferably made from galvanised steel or aluminium to prevent rusting and ensure longevity.
Consider the complexity of assembling the marquee. DIY enthusiasts may prefer marquees with straightforward assembly instructions and fewer components. Some marquees come with color-coded poles and connectors for easy setup.
