How are your marquees different?

They are very affordable compared to more traditional “structure” or “rope and pole” marquees. Pop up marquees are freestanding aluminium structures that are quick and easy to erect. They are very simple structures with no flooring or lining.

Are the marquees safe?

Our expert installers will make sure the marquee is safe and secure in strong winds. We are the only hire company in Melbourne with special “heavy duty” pop up marquees we can supply if conditions require the use of these marquees.

What are the marquees made of?

Frames are made of quality commercial grade aluminium. Canvas canopies are made of weather resistant coated polyester

Are the marquees weather proof?
