Will i need tie downs for my marquee- All erections are different it all depends on the situation where you are placing your marquee, is it an open area that is not well shielded by trees and buildings, is your structure going to be left up for more than 24 hrs? In short we would recommend that all marquees are anchored with tie down kits unless sited in the most calm of conditions and only going to be up over night.

Will i be able to erect the marquee myself? - All of the marquees we supply come with DIY erection instructions, these marquees are simple to put up and will take 4 people approx 4 hrs to put up a 12m x 6m on a first attempt, once you are used to putting one up this time can be halved.

Most new marquees and party tents for sale actually use similar types of frame utilizing steel poles of 32-45mm diameter.

600/700gsm PVC used in commercial trade PVC marquees
