Buying a marquee and not sure where to start?

Historically the marquee industry consisted of very large marquees used by commercial marquee hire companies, heavy duty party tents and small gazebos from garden centres, whilst these are still available now there are so many options between the two extremes. Increasingly popular are small marquees for sale, party tents structures that are heavier duty than the lightweight gazebos but smaller than the large marquees bought by commercial companies.

    

Small marquees for sale are by their nature easy to erect but still highly durable and able to withstand nearly anything the British weather can throw at them.

Marquee companies for sale happen very rarely, both sales and hire companies are usually long-term business ventures and so come up for sale very rarely. Due to the variety of different marquee qualities marquee hire companies for sale often only appeal to similar companies using similar ranges but not covering the same area so the potential buyers are limited. Marquee companies for sale that actually sell marquees are even rarer and therefore attract a greater premium than otherwise would.

If you’re looking for a marquee for sale then look no further than DIY Marquees. We offer a variety of different ranges and models meaning we have a marquee for sale to suit any budget. Whether it’s a sit down formal wedding marquee or a party tent marquee on a patio we have the marquee to suit.

What are the benefits to hiring a marquee?

Most of us remember the idyllic summer wedding complete with marquee and the simple joys of drinking champagne outside in the sun, before being gently ushered into the pleasant shade of the marquee for a relaxed Wedding reception. The Marquee makes the wedding or party an occasion, people see a marquee and they hear the music and begin getting into the party mood, meeting friends and chatting to old acquaintances.


Children love playing on the lawn, dancers love to cool off by popping outside and the brides have the perfect fairy tale wedding whilst friends and family finish off the celebrations in the marquee after sending the happy couple off.
