Marquees

Should I buy a cheap marquee or a commercial-quality branded marquee?

Yes, in many cases. The right answer depends on the site, size, artwork and how you need the finished signage to perform. Send us a photo or brief and we can tell you what we would recommend rather than give you a generic answer.

What is a promotional marquee?

Answer: A promotional marquee is a pop-up tent or gazebo with custom-printed branding on the canopy and/or walls. It provides shade, shelter, and high-visibility brand exposure at events, trade shows, markets, or sports days. Our approach is to keep the recommendation practical: what will look right, perform properly and make sense for the budget.

What is the best way to weight a marquee safely?

Yes, in many cases. The right answer depends on the site, size, artwork and how you need the finished signage to perform. Send us a photo or brief and we can tell you what we would recommend rather than give you a generic answer.

What sizes are available for branded marquees?

Answer: Common marquee sizes are as follows: 3m x 3m (most popular), 3m x 4.5m, and 3m x 6m. You don’t need to have everything worked out before contacting us. Send us your logo, brand guidelines if you have them, and a photo or dimensions; our design team can take it from there and you’ll see a proof before production.

Can I use one frame with different branded canopies?

Yes, in many cases. The right answer depends on the site, size, artwork and how you need the finished signage to perform. Send us a photo or brief and we can tell you what we would recommend rather than give you a generic answer.

Can I customise all sides of the marquee?

Answer: Yes. You can print on: Roof panels; Valance (edge trim); Back and side walls; Full walls, half walls, or windowed walls. All artwork can feature logos, colours, slogans, images, or patterns. You don’t need to have everything worked out before contacting us. Send us your logo, brand guidelines if you have them, and a photo or dimensions; our design team can take it from there and you’ll see a proof before production.

Can you create a complete matching event signage package?

Yes, in many cases. The right answer depends on the site, size, artwork and how you need the finished signage to perform. Send us a photo or brief and we can tell you what we would recommend rather than give you a generic answer.

Are branded marquees waterproof and UV-resistant?

Answer: Yes. Due to the quality of our marquees, they are made from polyester with a PVC coating or 600D+ Oxford fabric. They are: Water resistant to a large extent and UV-resistant. You don’t need to have everything worked out before contacting us. Send us your logo, brand guidelines if you have them, and a photo or dimensions; our design team can take it from there and you’ll see a proof before production.

How should I store a branded marquee between events?

Yes, in many cases. The right answer depends on the site, size, artwork and how you need the finished signage to perform. Send us a photo or brief and we can tell you what we would recommend rather than give you a generic answer.

Is the marquee frame strong and durable?

Answer: Yes. We only offer the highest-quality marquees with reinforced aluminium frames for extra strength and longevity—especially in windy or frequent-use settings. We don’t offer the cheaper Bunnings or online options that break at the first sight of wind. The excitement of a cheap price VERY QUICKLY evaporates when your marquee folds 10 ways at the first sight of wind. The important part is matching the material to where it will actually live. Adelaide sun, wind, handling and exposure matter, so we won’t recommend an indoor-grade solution just because it is cheaper.

How long does it take to set up a pop-up marquee?

Answer: A standard 3x3m marquee can be set up by 1–2 people in under 10 minutes with no tools required. Most models are designed for easy fold-out/fold-in operation. All our marquees come with travel bags & wheels for ease of moveability. If you have a fixed opening, event or handover date, tell us upfront. We can then work backwards from the date rather than give you a generic lead time.

Can I order replacement canopies or walls?

Answer: Yes. We offer replacement printed or plain canopies, sidewalls, and accessories without needing to buy a full new kit. This is very popular for clients with multiple brands or products – order 1 frame but several covers. In practice, the best way to confirm it is to send us a photo or the artwork so we can recommend the right construction rather than give you a blanket yes.
