Planning a Wedding or Outdoor Event? Here’s Why a DIY Marquee Is Ideal


When hosting an event—be it a wedding, garden party, christening or corporate function, the right marquee can make all the difference. For long-lasting, sturdy, and affordable solutions, DIY Marquees offers a comprehensive selection. In this post, we explore two standout offerings: Commercial Marquees for sale and the broader DIY marquees collection, helping you choose the perfect shelter for your needs.

DIY Marquees

Ideal for hire companies or frequent event organisers, the Commercial Marquees collection is tailored for durability and simplicity. These structures feature robust 500gsm rip‑stop Duracoretex PVC on both roofs and side panels, all flame-retardant and designed to withstand wind with Velcro-sealed joins and a steep 20° pitched roof.

Built upon a solid 38/42 mm steel framework, these marquees come equipped with ground bars, eave braces, and interchangeable Georgian-style window panels. Whether for a 6 x 12 m hall or smaller layouts, their flexible design adapts easily to changing layouts. Sizes range from compact (3 × 2 m) to expansive (6 × 36 m), making them ideal for seated dinners, standing receptions, or multi-unit configurations.

For those seeking quality on a budget, the broader collection of DIY Marquees for sale offers impressive variety. From Classic and Traditional styles to Premium, Professional, Deluxe, and even Green marquees, there’s a model suited to every occasion.

  • Classic marquees offer 500gsm PVC with basic yet reliable construction—perfect for casual events.

  • Traditional models feature vintage charm, while the Deluxe range boasts enhanced frameworks, higher eave heights (up to 2.3 m), and exceptional structural strength.

The standout advantage here is flexibility—whether you’re planning a one-off celebration or ongoing events, there’s a DIY marquee that matches your style and budget.
