DIY Marquees aren’t only about selling marquees they also provide all the accessories required to get your business off the ground. Their superb, value for money marquee flooring for sale and marquee lighting for sale will ensure your business has everything required so you can offer the best in the industry.

DIY Marquee’s flooring packages are designed to be easy to lay whilst giving one of the best finishes available in a marquee using new carpet, available in red, green or honey beige.

Included in each package is a non-breathable underlay, this is placed underneath the carpet when laying to prevent the build-up of condensation during your event (grass gives off a lot of water vapour if not covered). Grass is very tough so covering for a week or so will not generally cause any harm.

The marquee flooring is simply nailed in place -hammer, nails, cutting knife and a tool belt are included in the package. Watch our marquee flooring video to see how easy it is to lay.

This is the flooring and method of laying used by most of the marquee hire industry.

Our carpet packages include:

• One (or more) 2m wide rolls of carpet in red, green or honey beige
• Waterproof underlay (may require folding to fit your size of marquee)
• 6″ nails, hammer, cutting knife and tool belt
• Instructions (as with all DIY Marquee products)

How often do marquees need cleaning?

It depends on the frequency a marquee is used, the environment it is erected in, the material in question and the weather conditions but in general marquee hire companies will lightly clean a marquee nearly every time it goes up but do a thorough ingrained clean maybe twice a year.

By lightly clean I mean wipe down any marks or mud that may have splattered on to the sides, this can be done when the marquee is erected on site. By ingrained clean I mean using a power washer, a floor scrubber or brush and strong marquee cleaner product or getting a professional marquee cleaning company in. Ingrained cleaning removes the grey film that builds up on marquees over time.

There are three categories of dirt on a Classic DIY Marquee:

• mud splatters or other marks on the covers. These can be removed by light cleaning
• grey film that builds up over time, to be removed by an ingrain clean
• dirt and residue from trees. If it rains when your marquee is under a tree a lot of dirt gets washed off leaves on to your marquee, there may even be some sap on there too. The dirtiest marquee I ever saw was one erected under a tree. These need ingrain cleaning immediately as they won’t be good enough to hire out and leaving sap on PVC would not be good.

Different marquee materials, different cleaning methods:

• Canvas cannot be cleaned without removing it’s FR coating
• PVC can be cleaned as above; good quality PVC (like ours) will have a laminate coating to make it easier to clean.
• Clear PVC (window panels) must be cleaned very carefully so the clear material isn’t scratched.
• Poly/PVC you have to be careful as the PVC coating is a single layer than can be scratched off with aggressive cleaning.
• PE material can be cleaned similar to PVC though doesn’t have a laminate coating so will not come back as new.

The most important point of all – never put your marquee away when wet. A wet stored marquee will create mildew (PVC & PE) or may rot (canvas & the stitching in any stitched marquee).
