A marquee is undoubtably the smartest event venue. A marquee can be a venue for all reasons, in all seasons which is one of the main reasons why people across the UK choose to invest in a marquee as a solution to their venue or catering needs. What is quite common this time of year, is seasonal weather changes, excellent quality marquees are guaranteed to withstand any weather considerations while being particularly practical for anyone in business and in the market for a purpose-specific Traditional DIY Marquee. Using the DIY Marquee buyers guide along with the interactive planner buyers can experiment with designs and layouts to suit their needs before they put any pennies down. DIY Marquees offer a simple and interesting alternative to the common indoor venues while offering far more flexibility.
The 9x9m traditional DIY marquees, is a highly recommended 4-season marquee which is strong under almost any weather condition. Other aspects which contribute to the strength of DIY Traditional marquees are the high quality PVC material and the use of high-frequency welding to seal the joins, rather than stitching which might lead to unwanted wear and tear of the material should the marquee come under strain. This also contributes to the weather-proofing of the marquees which is ideal for the wet UK climate.
Marquees are adaptable, functional, multi-purpose and can be dressed up or down, depending on the tone of the event. Add a red carpet or a glittering chandelier and your marquee is transformed into a fairy wonderland. Add a heater and some closed panels and your marquee becomes the coziest spot in town during the crisp winter months. Separate your main marquee dining area from the catering area to create separation between preparation areas and serving areas offering a bespoke and unique dining out event. And while the dance floor hots up, caterers can clean away without disturbing the event so that you can party the night away.
DIY marquees offer marquee flooring packages are designed to be an easy lay, upgrading the look and feel of your marquee venue by using a new carpet, available in a variety of party-suitable colours. Wach package comes with a non-breathable underlay, to be placed underneath the carpet to prevent a build-up of condensation during your event since grass gives off water vapour if not covered. Marquee flooring is secured in place with nails which are included in the package.
DIY Marquee carpet packages include:
- One (or more) 2m wide rolls of carpet in red, green or honey beige
- Waterproof underlay (may require folding to fit your size of marquee)
- 6″ nails, hammer, cutting knife and tool belt
- Instructions (as with all DIY Marquee products)
Watch the marquee flooring video to see how easy it is to do.
Other strength enhancing features include eave braces and gable uprights which support the marquee under hard-wearing conditions, ensuring that the DIY marquee and Duracoretex™ PVC are well supported during any event.
How to clean your marquee

How to clean your marquee
The obvious answer is whenever it needs it so maybe a better question would be how often should you expect to clean a marquee.
A marquee is far more likely to get dirty when being erected/dismantled rather than when it is actually up. If you’re careful when erecting and especially when dismantling the marquee then you can usually get away with a thorough clean only once or twice a season.
There are however a few exceptions:
The dirtiest marquee I have ever had was one that was erected under some trees. When it rained all of the dust and grime was washed off the leaves down on to our lovely marquee. If you’ve got to put a marquee up under trees expect to clean it immediately afterwards.
Rain-skirts by their very nature will always get muddy in the rain, these should be given a wipe over on pretty much every job.
Traffic-film – eventually PVC can have a grey layer build up which is especially difficult to remove. It takes a long time for this to happen (a year or two normally) but at this stage it needs a thorough clean using a chemical. The material also needs irritating (gone over with a brush or similar) to get this off. Once thoroughly cleaned the PVC should be as good as new.
Tree sap is a nightmare to remove.
There are also some things that will never come out:
Petrol/Diesel can stain PVC. This will never come out so avoid them at all costs.
Ingrained mould – this affects many marquees especially those that are stored when still wet. PVC is made of many layers, if a marquee is put away wet or if cheap PVC is used then water can get inside the layers and create mould which will never come out. Incidentally this is one of the reasons we use better quality 500gsm PVC than available elsewhere, it takes far longer for the layers to break down in better quality PVC.
Some garden chemicals can stain – I was shown a marquee recently that had green stains around the rain skirt which seemed to have come from a chemical added to the lawn. Click here for more marquee hire advice
