Rain gutter / Connecting gutter

Roof guttering is a fantastic option in two common situations. Firstly, if you are looking to buy a new marquee or pop up gazebo and are unsure of the size you need. Perhaps you have a large annual event where you need a larger roof area, and also host smaller events throughout the year in which a smaller marquee would do the job just fine. You may be much better off buying two smaller marquees plus guttering, to give yourself optimal flexibility in installation.

Secondly, you may already own a marquee or pop up gazebo, but, as your company or club has grown, you've found that you need more space. Purchasing a second tent (matching in length or width) plus guttering will probably be a cheaper option than buying a large tent to replace the one you already have. As an added bonus for the price-conscious: Tent accessories, along with pop up gazebos and many marquee models come with free delivery!

Connecting gutters allow marquees and pop up gazebos to be seamlessly connected with each other either lengthwise or crosswise. The connection can be made either between the gable sides to create a longer tent, or along the sides of the tent, creating a wider tent with a single roof and continuous sides. The length of guttering needed is dependent on the length of the 'connecting edge' between the tents and the sidewall height. The height and length/width of the roofs to be connected will need to match. If, for example, you want to extend a 6 m wide party tent, the second tent will also need to be 6 m wide - the length is up to you. If you want to widen one party tent, the second party tent must be of the same length and sidewall height so that both can connect together along the entire length.

Connecting gutters are also known as rain gutters - and not without reason: they are waterproof and provide drainage just like rain guttering on e.g. a house roof. So if heavy rain is forecast for your next event in the garden, the gutter will protect your guests from rainwater while keeping them dry. That's why guttering is often ordered for large events, where, as an example, two marquees are to be transformed into one large one and where you want to celebrate in style regardless of the weather.

Our tent rain gutters have a robust PVC coating, they are 100% waterproof and also offer a high UV protection. In case of even a heavy rainstorm these gutters prevent water from entering the tent and drain water away from the sides of the tent. The PVC material resembles a truck tarpaulin in terms of feel and is also more robust and heavy than, for example, polyethylene fabric (PE) or polyester. Guttering is available in either white or grey. White is generally preferred for pop up gazebos, while marquees often have decorative roof panels, so choose a rain gutter colour that matches the roofing and exterior of your tent. The guttering extends from the eaves to the base of the tent, so be sure to choose the rain gutters that are designed for sidewalls matching the height of your tents.
