The Economy Marquee has been designed to offer you flexibility when connecting tents, designing walkways, or adding smaller coverage areas for concessions and catering.

If you are creating complex outdoor venues, then marquees will be essential. They provide protection from sun and rain between larger tents. They can also allow for elaborate designs that wouldn’t be available when using frame or tension tents alone.

Marquee hardware is made from marine grade aluminum to ensure durability and a long return on your investment. Covers are high-quality blackout vinyl which has been UV treated to protect against long term sun exposure. Electronically welded cover seams will ensure your tents stand up to the harshest operating conditions.

Decorating

Rental vs. Purchase

Deciding whether to purchase or rent your event tent can depend on several factors, including frequency of use, budget, and storage capabilities.

Benefits of Renting

  1. Affordability: Renting might be more economical if you host a one-off event or occasional gatherings.
  2. Storage: Event tents can take up significant space. If you lack adequate storage options, renting eliminates this concern.
  3. Variety: Rental services often have various types and styles of tents. You can choose a different tent for each occasion, ensuring your events look fresh and exciting.

Benefits of Purchasing

  1. Long-term Investment: If you frequently host events, purchasing a tent can save you money in the long run.
  2. Customization: Owning your tent lets you personalize it according to your style preferences.
  3. Immediate Availability: When you own a tent, you don’t have to worry about availability conflicts during peak seasons.

Built for commercial use with premium materials and engineering.

Flooring Choices

Depending on the nature of your event, adding flooring can elevate both the aesthetic and functionality of the tent. Options range from simple grass mats to more sophisticated, elegant flooring solutions like wood or vinyl. This adds comfort and reduces the chances of muddy shoes ruining the event.

Lighting Options

Proper lighting can create an inviting ambiance when hosting an evening event. You can incorporate string lights, chandeliers, or LED uplights within your tent to enhance the mood and keep your guests comfortable.

Tent Sidewalls and Entryways

Sidewalls can protect your guests from the elements if it’s a breezy evening or there’s a chance of rain. They also allow for added privacy and help create a more enclosed atmosphere. Think about entryways as well—these can be designed for easy access and even serve as a decorative point.
