subject: Types of Tents and Marquees for Your Outdoor Event [print this page] When planning for an outdoor event such as a wedding or birthday party or even a fundraising day, you definitely need to hire a tent for the day. There are many different options for marquees that are available for hire or purchase, but they all have their features and functions. The following are some common examples of the shapes that you will have.
The first type of marquee is the framed or clear span marquee which is ideal for most events especially weddings. The clear span means that the space underneath the tent is open and there are no poles upholding the tent in the middle. You can place your seating arrangements freely and make the best use of the open space. You can also get a clear span marquee in any weather, so it can also work well during the winter seasons.
Another type is the pole marquee, which is the most popular tent available today. It is ideal for parties in the summer because they hold well in grass and not on other surfaces, and that they are attached to the ground with ropes and pegs like a circus tent. It is a light weight solution for your outdoor event, but installing and dismantling the marquee is quite involving so you should have it set up in advance.
The third type is the high peak tent that provides the space you need and make your event look elegant. With high peak party tents, you can add decorations such as balloons and even a chandelier in the space above to get the ideal results. This type of tent may be more expensive due to the materials needed for installing, but it is perfect for any outdoor party that you are planning.
Remember also to consider the location where your tent will be installed since you can hire any of the above tents or marquees but with a few variations to attach to the side of a building, or with additional tools to make it secure in the ground. Always hire your tent or marquee in advance so that you can plan your event successfully.
