Guest numbers are a planning guide, not a product rating or a safety limit. Allow less space for guests if you add a bar, buffet, dance floor or stage. The 4x8m window marquee also comes in blue and red. Public events may have venue or council requirements, so check before you buy.
Marquee buying guide
1. Choose by event, not just size
- Backyard parties and long lunches: a 4x8m marquee gives you a long, narrow space that suits one or two rows of tables.
- Small weddings and garden parties: the 6x4.5m wedding marquee has arched windows and 2m high sides.
- Celebrations and community events: a 6x6m marquee gives you an open, square floor.
- Large weddings and functions: choose the 6x12m or 7x12m for 36 or more guests seated.
2. Choosing a heavy duty marquee
Marquee listings often say "heavy duty", but the materials tell you more. Compare the frame and the roof weight in grams per square metre, where a higher number generally means thicker fabric. The 6x6m and 6x12m models use 38mm steel poles, and the 7x12m has a heavy-duty galvanised steel frame.
3. Check the height
Height affects how open a marquee feels and how easily people move in and out. The pitched roof means side walls and doorways are lower than the peak. Doorways on our marquees are about 1.8m to 1.9m where listed, so tall guests may need to duck.
4. Plan the build and the anchoring
Every marquee needs to be properly secured because of its large surface area. Use pegs and guy ropes on grass, and add heavy weights or tie to fixed structures where needed. How much anchoring you need depends on your site. You cannot peg into concrete or pavers, so check your site early. Our guide to setting up a sturdy marquee covers common mistakes.
5. Allow for weight and delivery
Marquees are bulky. The 6x6m weighs about 78kg, the 4x8m pavilion about 80kg, and the 7x12m has a gross weight of about 194kg. Delivery is to the building entrance, so have helpers ready to unload.
Event marquee or pop-up gazebo?
Choose an event marquee when you need more than about 18 people under cover, or when you want windows and a more formal look. If you will set up often, a pop-up frame is much quicker. See our 3x3m, 3x4.5m and 3x6m pop-up gazebos, or our full size guide.
This range also includes a pop-up screen house with mesh walls. For hard surfaces, see our gazebo weights. We also sell replacement roofs for 4x8m, 6x6m and 6x12m premium marquees.
Marquee FAQs
What size marquee do I need for 50 guests?
For 50 people standing, look at a 6x12m marquee. For 50 people seated at tables, a 7x12m marquee is the better fit, with little room left over, so consider extra cover for food and drinks.
What size marquee do I need for 30 guests?
For 30 people standing, a 6x4.5m marquee is the smallest fit. For 30 people seated at tables, choose a 6x12m marquee, because a 6x6m suits only 18 to 24 seated.
What size marquee do I need for 100 guests?
Our largest marquee is 7x12m, which suits about 84 people standing or 42 to 56 seated. For 100 guests, you would need more than one marquee or a larger structure from a hire company.
What is the difference between a marquee and a party tent?
The names are often used for the same thing. Everything in this range has a steel frame that you assemble, and most models have removable walls, so choose by size and materials rather than by name.
Which heavy duty marquee should I buy?
Look at the 6x12m and 7x12m models. The 6x12m has a 38mm powder-coated steel frame and a 180g roof. The 7x12m has a heavy-duty galvanised steel frame and a 160GSM roof. All of them are designed for mild weather and occasional use.
Are your marquees waterproof?
It varies by model. The 6x12m and the 4x8m pavilion are listed as 100% waterproof, while the 6x6m and 7x12m are listed as water resistant. All of them are designed for mild weather, including light rain, and not for storms or heavy rain.
Do event marquees need to be assembled?
Yes. Unlike a pop-up gazebo, an event marquee has a steel frame that you assemble on site. Allow extra time and more helpers for larger sizes.
Can I leave a marquee up for a whole weekend?
No. They are occasional-use products for day or night events, and they should not be left up for more than one day.
Can I use a marquee for a wedding?
Yes. The 6x4.5m model has arched windows and suits a small wedding, while the 7x12m has cathedral-style windows and suits a larger reception. Read should you get an outdoor marquee for your wedding for more help.
How are large marquees delivered?
They are sent to a physical address, not a PO box. Couriers deliver to the building entrance, and you may need help to unload. Far regional deliveries may need to be collected from the nearest freight depot.
Is it better to buy or hire a marquee?
Buying usually makes more sense if you will use a marquee more than once or are happy to set it up yourself. Hire can suit a one-off event if you want a company to install it, or if you need a larger structure.
