For sale
Marquees and gazebos for sale
We have been hiring marquees out since 2014. Now we sell them too. You buy the whole package — structure, flooring, lighting and furniture. And you buy it from the people who put it up.
Start with what it's for
Schools & clubs
Sports day, then the summer fair, then an open evening. The same problem three times a year.
Markets & traders
You are out in all weathers, most weeks. It has to go up fast, often single-handed.
Venues & hospitality
Rain takes your outside tables away. A structure you own is up in April.
Festivals & events
Traders, welfare, box office, first aid. The same units on the hire list every year.
Councils & public realm
Streets, squares and parks. There is nothing to peg into.
Not sure yet
You know what it is for. You do not know what size.
Why buy from an operator
What lasts
The frames last for absolute yonks. We have not had to replace a cover in the six or eight years we have owned them. So we do not sell you a box of spares on day one. Every part is listed if you ever need one.
What comes with it
A structure on its own is a roof. Flooring, lighting and furniture are what make it usable. We sell it the way we hire it — all four together.
We put the first one up with you
We ordinarily need a full day to set up. Taking it down is about the same. A vehicle goes out with two workers. The one real constraint is getting that van alongside to unload.
What we sell
Not sure whether to buy or hire?
It depends how often you use it. Hire it once or twice a year and hiring wins. Somebody else washes it and stores it. Buy when it is out most weekends, or when you need it at no notice. Owning means storing it, drying it before it goes away, and replacing what wears. We will say so when the answer is hire. How many times a year would you use it?
