Marquees & Party tents

You can improve the stability of your garden marquee or outdoor event tent using accessories.

• Use our tie down ratchets straps for additional safety and greater stability. The safety set features strong tension belts and ground anchoring. These make the garden party tents suitable for use in the garden, but also at professional venues such as at cafés and restaurants, or during weddings.
• Marquee weights are a simple solution for adding more weight to stabilise a marquee in light winds.
• Marquee heaters are another popular accessory for events of all kinds.
• Many customers find our bungee cords incredibly useful, whether for hanging decorations off the frame, or for a range of other uses around the house and garden. You can find bags of between 25-100 bungee straps in white or black in our collection of accessories.

Event tents are ideal for events and occasions of all kinds. That makes them ideal for clubs, schools and other community groups or businesses. Any event where short term buildings and shelter are needed, a commercial marquee is a practical and cost-effective answer. You don’t want to rely on good weather for your event or gala to go ahead. A large event tent gives you the assurance of covered event shelter for all eventualities.

For clubs and schools, a club marquee or school tent will see plenty of use, particularly at open days and fundraising galas. Our Professional tents with fire-resistant certification are a great option for events and festivals. As well as greater fire protection, the steel frame features a series of reinforcing supports, including a ground bar that significantly increases the structure's stability.

We offer the following marquee models across our two product lines: Light, Smart, Plus and Ultra. The quality categories represent differences in tarpaulin strength, frame construction and stability.

Our PRO garden marquees have the strongest tarpaulins. PVC is a highly robust material, and therefore our professional PVC marquees are most suitable for long-term use. FLEX Light models feature a basic frame with a light-weight tarpaulin. You can see a comparison of the strength of tarpaulins in different models in the tables below.

Marquees with base frames (ground bars) and roof reinforcements are especially strong. The standard diameter of our poles is 38 mm, and 42 mm for connecting joints. This increases to an incredibly robust 50 mm for the leg and roof poles and 54 mm for connectors in PRO Ultra PVC tents.

The standard side wall height for our products is 2 m. We also have large tents for sale with extra high 2.6 metre sides. At the apex, the height of these party tents is 3.40 m. These tents have a sturdier frame so are ideal for commercial purposes.

In the Smart, Plus & Ultra product ranges as well as PRO Light, individual frame components are secured with bolts that pass through all connecting elements. FLEX Light garden tents use a heavy-duty click-in system using a wide, solid steel spring. These connecting systems provide a sturdy, reliable frame that meets the demands of everyday use.
