Marquees are often used during celebrations to house guests. They are an ideal choice when the event is taking place outside. They allow guests to enjoy an outdoor experience is relative comfort as they are protected from the sun and wind. They can be set up to various levels of sophistication to suit any kind of event. The types of marquees available for hire depend very much on what the budget for the event is and the number of guests to be accommodated.

A simple tent is made up of an easily assembled frame roof lifted to sit on top of poles at each corner. The canvas covers the roof frame and the sides remain open. This design is very simple and has proven popular at events where the guests require easy movement. They tend to move in and out of these types of marquees frequently, and are not protected from the chilly air.
Some open air markets and exhibitions are set up in this way with products displayed underneath the tent. Visitors are able to freely walk around from tent to tent. These are often called frame tents and they do not have central poles making that space available for use.

Many of the modern tents in use are made with aluminium frames. This material is suitable because it is lightweight enough to be easily carried around, dismantled and assembled, and still be strong enough to resist the pull of strong winds and carry the weight of the canvas. It also means that not much labour is required to do the work of setting up the tents.
Just as there are various types of marquees based on design there are also various rates that are applied. The more elegant the design, the more expensive it is. They are also built to accommodate various numbers of people hence one design can come at various dimensions. The larger the tent the more expensive it is. When making a selection, be sure to consider your budget, number of guests and the design you want.
