Marquee flooring and glass balustrading
Description
To avoid walking on muddy or wet ground during the rainy season, or to provide a wonderful dance floor, a marquee hire can be installed with timber floors. This setup is ideal for formal events and parties. Our marquees can even be elevated to create verandas or to take advantage of the views. Our glass balustrading can provide a quality finish to the look.
25 metre span marquees
Description
Our largest marquee range has a 25 metre span. With length sections of 5 metres, our marquees can be any length that is a multiple of 5. We have solid or clear wall options and the marquees can be partitioned to create multiple interior spaces. We have provided marquees for temporary hospital spaces with patient cubicles and waiting areas. Large marquees can also be coupled with smaller marquees to create unique shapes or for specific functions. For example a smaller marquee may be used for a cloak room or first aid post whilst the large marquee houses a ballroom or dance area and bar. Wall fabric available in plain, clear or gothic windows.
20 metre span marquees
Description
The next size in our range is the 20 metre span marquee with 5 metre length sections enabling the marquee to be any length in multiples of 5 metres. This large span marquee is suitable for large functions, trade fairs, exhibitions or storage. Wall fabric available in plain, clear or gothic windows.
15 metre span marquees
Description
The 15-metre span marquee is part of our large marquee range and features 5-metre length sections, which can be combined to create either a large or intimate space. The photo to the left shows a 15-metre span marquee with one side completely open, offering the opportunity for an outside deck or viewing platform. Wall fabric is available in plain, clear, or gothic window styles.
10 metre span marquees
Description
This medium span size marquee has lengths in 5 metre sections to your desired length. The 10 metre span marquee is a very popular marquee size for smaller venue spaces or to provide cover over staging. It also has the versatility to extend, creating a huge undercover area but that is narrower than the larger span marquees. It is a truly versatile marquee range. Wall fabric available in plain, clear or gothic windows. Roofs are also available in clear fabrics.
6 metre span marquees
Description
The 6 metre span marquee is one of the smaller marquee styles in our range, with 3m wall lengths, allowing all combinations of extensions. Commonly known as “party tents” this range is a lighter weight structure compared to its more solid 10 metre + span cousins. Its smaller size makes it useful for more confined spaces yet still provides options for larger capacity.
3 × 3 m Pagoda Tents
Description
Our smallest marquee, the 3m x 3m pagoda tent is a great option for stallholders or for “outbuildings” to complement our larger range.
FAQ
How much is it to hire a marquee?
The cost of hiring a marquee depends on the size and configuration required, the event location, the hire period and the equipment included in the setup. Flooring, clear or solid walls, staging, furniture, lighting and the type of anchoring required can also affect the final price.
AKA Events Hire provides customised marquee hire solutions rather than a fixed one-size-fits-all package. Providing your event date, location, guest numbers and preferred layout will help the team prepare an accurate quote for your event.
What size marquee do I need for 100 guests or more?
For an event with 100 guests or more, the right marquee size will depend on whether guests are seated or standing and how much additional space is needed for tables, a stage, dance floor, bar, catering area or internal walkways. Whether the tables are rectangular or round also impacts the space required.
AKA Events Hire offers modular commercial marquees with 10, 15, 20 and 25-metre spans, with lengths that can be extended in five-metre sections. This allows the structure to be sized around the layout rather than guest numbers alone. For larger functions, the team can also combine marquees or partition the interior into separate areas. View the available commercial marquee sizes or contact the team for layout advice.
AKA Events Hire also offers modular lighter marquees with 6 metre spans with three metre section expansion options. These marquees can extend to fit 100s of guests but are able to fit into smaller spaces if need be.
What is the best flooring for marquees?
Timber or hard flooring is a practical choice for formal events, functions held during wet weather and marquees installed over muddy or uneven ground. It gives guests a stable walking surface and can also create a suitable dining or dance floor. For a formal event, carpeting may be a more suitable option, or a combination of both.
AKA Events Hire can install timber flooring within its marquee hire setups. Marquees may also be elevated to create verandas, improve the presentation of the venue or make better use of surrounding views. Glass balustrading can be added where an elevated edge requires a more finished appearance.
What are the standard sizes for commercial marquees in Australia?
There is no single marquee size used for every commercial event. Most commercial structures use modular widths and lengths so the covered area can be adjusted for the venue, guest numbers and event layout.
AKA Events Hire offers the following commercial marquee sizes:
- 3m × 3m pagoda tents
- 6-metre span marquees with three-metre sections
- 10-metre span marquees
- 15-metre span marquees
- 20-metre span marquees
- 25-metre span marquees
The 10, 15, 20 and 25-metre ranges can be extended in five-metre length sections, allowing them to accommodate anything from smaller functions to exhibitions, corporate events and large seated gatherings.
Are marquees suitable for harsh weather conditions?
Yes. Commercial-grade marquees can provide protection from heavy rain, strong winds and intense sunlight when the structure is appropriate for the site and professionally installed.
AKA Events Hire’s commercial marquees are manufactured in Germany using high-quality materials and are designed for Perth’s demanding weather conditions. They can be enclosed with blockout, clear or solid wall options and secured using concrete weights depending on the ground surface. Additional features such as hard flooring, heating, cooling and reinforced structures can also be incorporated when required.
How do you ensure a commercial marquee is safe in strong winds?
Commercial marquee safety begins with selecting the correct structure, assessing the installation surface and using a suitable anchoring system. Marquees may be secured with ground spikes where permitted or with purpose-built concrete marquee weights on surfaces such as concrete, bitumen, indoor flooring or areas with underground services.
AKA Events Hire supplies concrete weights ranging from 30kg to 1.5 tonnes. The appropriate weight and configuration are selected according to the marquee size, site conditions and installation requirements. Reinforced structures and additional weighting can also be used for industrial or semi-permanent installations.
AKA Events Hire’s policies and procedures operate in accordance with the Advanced Safety Systems Australia program. More information is available on the company’s safety standards page.
