Nothing tops a proper English country garden on a warm and sunny Spring afternoon. At the end of a long Winter season, many look forward to the respite that the Springtime brings, from the rain, clouds and chilly winds. My client was on the look out for the perfect venue for his daughter’s Spring wedding which he wanted to host in a garden filled with roses and daffodils and he and his wife pictured how lovely the garden would be with plump grey doves flying in across the skyline and making themselves at home on the garden wall which their guests walked up the brown pebbled driveway from a walled garden which provided ample parking. Fortunately, the couple had located just the place in a village in Hampshire which was able to accommodate their need for a large, flat green garden patch on which to erect a 4 x 12m premium marquee which we had identified as the perfect option for the wedding.
As someone who has experience with providing marquee options for many clients over many years, it is always exciting to find an exciting, never-before seen venue! Although it did mean that I had to ensure that the venue was just right for the marquee and that the right marquee was used in case of, what is quite common this time of year, unseasonal weather changes. After inspecting the venue and measuring the area to ensure that the marque size would work in the space available, I informed the client that everything would be in order.
With a perfectly flat piece of land to erect the marquee on, the job was an easy one. If there had been any hills to negotiate, I knew that I could always refer to the DIY Erecting videos which have been provided as a free resource on the DIY Marquees website. I have been a client of DIY Marquees ever since I began my entrepreneurial endeavours as a freelance events co-ordinator. Having my own marquees allows me the flexibility I need to offer my clients the perfect venue almost anywhere in the country, regardless of location or the weather. Having done my research on the DIY Marquee website, I have been able to educate myself on the best marquee for specific occasions and seasons. The information on the website is generous and covers everything that one could possibly think about knowing about marquees, their sizes, features from add-ons to heating, decorating and preparation areas, they have a suitable solution or suggestion for all.
Excellent quality marquees which are guaranteed to withstand the weather considerations are extremely useful to have for anyone in a similar business. Someone in the market for a purpose-specific marquee can investigate the available options by using the DIY Marquee buyers guide along with the interactive planner which provides you with the tools required to test to see how many people, chairs, tables and features one would be able to host in the specific size marquee they may have in mind. DIY Marquees offer a simple and exciting alternative to your usual indoor venues with far more flexibility.

According to the Cambridge dictionary, a marquee is a large tent used for eating and drinking at events held mainly outside that involve a lot of people. But for DIY Marquees, a marquee is defined as a lot more than that. For DIY Marquees, a marquee is an opportunity! A small, large, or medium tent with the purpose of eating and drinking in, yes, this is true. But a marquee offers something special to any event being held outside. Think about it… It not often that being outside is a safe choice for any special day. With the weather sometimes more temperamental than a two-year-old, there is no real way of knowing what a day will bring, no matter what season you plan your event in. And this is not just something that happens in the UK, where we have a reputation for unpredictable weather… an outdoor event anywhere in the world is something someone plans with fingers crossed and hoping for the odds to be ever in their favour!
All the marquees that DIY Marquees supply is of the highest quality and we sell each and every one of our large variety of marquees with an unwritten guarantee that the odds will be ever in your favour when you use one of these marquees. This being said, we also acknowledge that sometimes there is a need for a marquee which offers a little something extra in terms of strength and quality. By quality, we don’t mean good or bad quality… we mean great or extra great, which is achieved with thicker, more durable materials. Designed for a tougher environment, and for frequent use, Premium DIY Marquees come in a range of sizes and all of which have the extra durability to ensure that there is no event for which DIY Marquees is not a match for, under any weather conditions possible. When designing these marquees, there was no advantage which was ignored in formulating their construction. Even very large marquees can be constructed with a Premium marquee as they have the strength to withstand any terrain or any awkward shape which may be needed to suit the specifics of your event.
Multi-purpose marquees like the Premium range of marquees will never disappoint. With a large range of marquee spare parts (replaceable joints, poles, and covers for 3, 4 and 6-meter marquees) which are available for purchase via the very interactive and information-packed website, there is literally nothing that a person could not do with one of these premium marquees which feature, 20 degree wind resistant roofs, 38mm steel piped frameworks with the option of additional ground bars, PVC side panels and roofs covers which are made from Duracotex (protective flexible material with industrial coatings) and which provide the durability and longevity which ensures the life-span of the DIY Premium range of marquees.

DIY MARQUEE BUYERS GUIDE
When looking to buy a marquee the first thing to do is decide what size(s) of marquee you need, only then can you decide which range of marquee is most suitable for you.
There are several ways of calculating this:
- Measure your garden. If space is limited your guest list may be restricted by the maximum size of marquee able to fit in the space.
- If your garden is an awkward size then consider using more than one marquee connected together to cover the space. Multiple marquees can take a little more thought in planning a successful party but please contact us, we’re marquee specialists and are here to help.
- If you need help in picturing the layout of a marquee then check out our interactive marquee planner on our website and experiment with different layouts.
The following marquee size guide shows the capacity (seated or standing) or each size of marquee. Size guides can vary greatly, this is due to the variety of ways a marquee can be used. For example, a 6x12m marquee can seat 70-80 people at round tables but if you allow for buffet tables and/or a dance floor then the capacity is reduced.
If you are in any doubt over any detail in our Marquee Buyers Guide please contact us with your requirements and we would be more than happy to put together some sample layouts for you.
