Pole marquee

The introduction of modern fabrics has extended the useful life of marquee covers and made them far easier to clean.

Canvas marquees are still available and in recent years have seen a resurgence as natural materials become fashionable once more.

Both materials offer some advantages over the other, particularly that the breathability of canvas allows better air circulation, but that PVC covers better withstand phototendering.

It is inadvisable to use a traditional marquee during winter months due to the hazards associated with snow buildup, damp ground and high winds.

With these inherent limitations, marquees are better equipped for warm, still weather unless fitted with features designed to reduce these hazards.
