The word marquee means large tent used as a temporary building, they have long been used for circus fairs, banquets, weddings and recently for corporate hospitality events. In the past they were traditionally made of canvas today they are mostly made of PVC due to being easier to clean and having a longer hire life span, they are very expensive and require specialized equipment and skill to erect, so are more often than not rented. They are held down with ratchets and /or stakes. The marquees themselves are very strong. A pole marquee is held under tension by centre poles, side poles and guy ropes which are then attached to ground stakes and hammered into soft surfaces e. g. lawn. Aluminium frame marquees have no centre poles or guy ropes and can be erected on any surface. Then there are the high peak tents, these have the advantage of the pole with the high top but also ease of installation cleaner look and fewer parts. Marquee tents have interchangeable parts, making it easy to expand to larger sizes.
