Marquees

Marquees – the flexible solution for parties, events and professional use
A marquee is the ideal solution for creating covered space for parties, events, or professional gatherings – regardless of the weather. It provides a flexible, cost-effective, and practical way to host guests outdoors while staying protected from rain, wind, or strong sunlight.

Whether you are looking for a cheap marquee for a single occasion or a professional marquee for repeated use, the key is to choose a solution that matches your needs, budget and frequency of use.

At Flextents.com, you will find a wide range of marquees, event tents and gazebos in various materials, sizes and designs, making it easy to find the perfect solution for everything from private parties to large-scale events.

Which marquee should I choose?
The right marquee depends on how often you plan to use it and the level of durability you need.

For occasional use, a lightweight and affordable marquee is often sufficient. For frequent or professional use, a stronger and more durable model is the better choice.

You should also consider size, the number of guests, weather conditions, and whether you need accessories such as flooring, lighting, or heating.

PE vs PVC marquees – which is the best choice?
The main differences between PE and PVC marquees are durability, weight, and intended use.

PE marquees are lightweight, affordable and suitable for occasional use.
PVC marquees are stronger, fully waterproof and designed for frequent or professional use.

If you need a marquee for a few events each year, PE is a practical and cost-effective option. If you require a long-term solution with higher resistance to weather and wear, PVC is the better investment.

PE marquees – a cost-effective solution for smaller events
A PE marquee is ideal when price and flexibility are key factors. It provides a functional and inviting space for birthdays, garden parties and smaller gatherings.

These marquees offer good value for money, flexible sidewalls, large window sections for natural light and the option to combine multiple units for more space.

Although PE is lighter than PVC, it still delivers a stable and reliable setup for most private events.

PVC marquees – for frequent use and professional events
A PVC marquee is designed for durability, stability and repeated use. It is the preferred choice for both private and professional users who require a high-quality solution.

PVC marquees are 100% waterproof, highly resistant to wind and weather, and made from strong materials like truck tarpaulin.

They are ideal for weddings, corporate events and larger gatherings where comfort, safety and long-term use are essential.

CombiTents® – one marquee, multiple sizes
CombiTents® offer a flexible solution that lets you adjust the size of your marquee as needed.

The modular design allows you to add or remove sections, enabling you to use the same marquee for different types of events.

With a galvanised steel frame and waterproof cover, you get both stability and long durability in one adaptable solution. Add linings to soften the marquee's look and feel.

UNICO marquees – design and functionality combined
UNICO marquees are perfect if you want a more distinctive and elegant look for your event.

Available in various colours, they allow you to create a unique atmosphere while maintaining high functionality. The combination of waterproof polyester and a PVC backing ensures durability, while large window sections provide a bright, welcoming interior.

They can be used as open shelters or fully enclosed spaces, depending on the weather, the occasion, and your needs.

What size marquee do I need?
The size of your marquee depends on the number of guests and the type of event.

As a rule:
Standing guests require approx. 0.75 m² per person
Seated guests require approx. 1–1.5 m² per person

Choosing slightly more space than necessary will improve comfort and allow room for dining, dancing and social activities.

Which accessories do you need for a marquee?
The right accessories can significantly improve both comfort and functionality.

Popular options include tables and chairs, flooring, carpets, heaters, lighting and decorative drapes. These elements help create a complete and comfortable environment for your guests.

How do you secure a marquee safely?
Proper anchoring is essential to ensure stability and safety.

Safety Packs with storm straps and ground pegs help keep the marquee secure, even in changing weather conditions. Connectors and gutters can also improve both functionality and comfort, especially when combining multiple marquees.
