DIY Marquees offer the largest range of commercial marquees for sale in the UK. 24 different sizes across various ranges means there is the ideal marquee for you – whether you are looking for some temporary party tents to put up at home or a heavy duty marquee for commercial hiring.

When looking for heavy duty party tents or industrial marquee for sale it is important to look at many factors. Many suppliers will list the thickness of covers used as a sign of quality when in fact quality of build is far more important and even the weight of material is misleading as there are a wide range of qualities within the same weight category of PVC and PE covers used in party tents and marquees to buy.

Have a careful look at the features of the structures in question and this will also give an indication to the build quality – a marquee that includes additional bracing (eave braces, gable uprights etc) will not cut corners elsewhere in the build quality. A marquee or heavy duty party tent that has cut corners by having the Georgian window printed on rather than the more time-consuming rounded cut may well have cut corners elsewhere that will only come to light when the marquees or party tents for sale are in use.

The rain in Spain (and France) can be a pain

One of the joys of running DIY Marquees is I get to chat to people from geographical areas that I have no experience of. When I ran a marquee hire business the area we covered was as compact as we could make it (for obvious logistical reasons) so it’s great hearing about other people’s experiences especially if it’s something I can share to others on this blog.

It’s fair to say that France and other parts of Europe have had a bit of rain recently. Torrential rain is always a headache in the marquee industry, it’s a pain dealing with wet equipment and a party is always better in the sun than rain.

From a waterproofing point of view rain shouldn’t be an issue however the weakest point will always be a join -this is why nearly all DIY marquees use roofs that are all in one piece. Providing guttering has been fitted correctly and tested then it should cope with all but the most extremes of downfalls.

Something that has been highlighted in discussions with some customers in both France and Spain recently is what about the run off from other buildings? Whilst most houses in the UK have guttering that is often not the case in other parts of Europe or even on outbuildings or barns here in the UK.

If you are putting a marquee up against any building then it is always wise to look at what would happen if it rained – could the water run off the building? If so where will it go? Could it overload a guttering system (theirs or yours)? If you use roofs that come in sections (as I say, our main marquees don’t have this problem) then will this compromise the waterproof integrity of the join?

In relation to how often this situation may arise this is a minor issue, it is however something you as a professional marquee hirer should be aware of, it is much better to learn from our experience or those of our customers rather than make the same mistake yourself.

If in doubt then as always, take some photographs and email them to us – we’ll happily advise as best we can.

If you are wanting to view DIY Marquee’s range of marquee for sale look no further than the leading experts and their large range of party tents for sale and wedding marquee for sale

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.
