DIY Marquees Have Hundreds of Heavy Duty Marquees for Sale

DIY Marquees many years’ experience in the marquee selling business always offer sound and valuable advice for their customers. With hundreds of high quality Professional Marquees for sale they are one of the top marquee selling businesses around.

Below is what Stephen the owner of DIY Marquees Commercial Marquees for sale says about marquee design and quality.

“Reality Check -3.7m vs 3m marquee height:

Sometimes the claims of some companies in the marquee sales industry go beyond honest marketing with outlandish statements such as ‘PE material is the same as bullet proof vests’ and arrogant statements such as ‘and don’t believe anyone who tells you different’ without offering any evidence to confirm their claims. At DIY Marquees, we try to take a more positive approach to marketing and an evidence based approach to our marquee design.

With the above in mind we are producing a series of Reality Check articles displaying the pro’s and cons for readers to see why we design marquees the way we do:

The 3.7m vs 3m marquee height is based on a 6m wide marquee with approximately 2m eave/leg height.

The advantages of using a 3.7m high marquee:

  • cheaper to produce
  • more headroom for those taller than 2m

The advantages of using a 3m high marquee:

  • uses wind-resistant 20degree roof angle
  • is used in nearly all commercial marquees

Should you require more headroom in a marquee it is wiser to choose a marquee with additional height in the legs (like our 2.3m eave height Deluxe DIY Marquees for example) rather than a steeper roof angle. A taller leg requires additional bracing but when erected is far more wind-resistant.

Every 9m+ wide marquee in the world we have ever seen uses a roof angle of 20degrees. If ever you find yourself in dispute over what is the stronger marquee design asking them what angle 9m+ wide marquees use and why (they may even sell them themselves!).

Or if you see someone selling 3.7m high marquees look for other shortcuts taken in the design like carport roofs or powder coated framework.
