What is the difference between a tent and a marquee

As stated above, our larger-span foldable shelter is classified as a foldable marquee which are available in up to 4m x 8m sizes, covering an area of 32m 2. A gazebo is the more portable solution that has been developed to pack into your car. Gazebos are the more popular option for short-term use as a result. To determine the best gazebo size for your specific use, we recommend considering how much area and people you need to cover and compare with the available space. Another note for determining the best gazebo size for you is whether you will need to erect and pack up the gazebo on your own or if you will always have someone to assist.

The canopy is the heavy-duty fabric that is tailored to harmoniously fit a folding marquee or pop-up gazebo frame, covering the shade structure to form the roof. The marquee canopy or gazebo canopy is either ornamental or purely functional in its appearance, however, must be the barrier between its occupants and the sun, rain, and wind. When relating to gazebos and marquees, the canopy is the high-quality, waterproof and UV resistant fitted fabric roof that snugly fits its frame.

Altegra premium canopies are tailored to fit our range of gazebos and marquees perfectly. Heavy-duty canopy velcro tabs attach to velcro on the pop-up frame for correct positioning. Straps and buckles assist in holding the weatherproof canopy in place, attaching to the upper frame.

We select high-grade polyester as our canopy material because it delivers exceptional good looks and provides a great feeling fabric. Forget that plastic bag in the wind sound from flimsy material.

The high-grade polyester has significant longevity as tested in the Australian sun for over 15 years and is great for packability.

Both details combat breakdown so your gazebo or marquee canopy is built to last. Long-term use and enhanced sustainability is our goal.

Altegra canopies are also the most eye-catching and memorable way of displaying your brand at your next event. Polyester also happens to be a superbly effective fabric for sublimation printing. This is a high-end printing method that results in the deep permeation of colour rather than surface printing.

The results speak for themselves and stand proudly and obviously in a lineup of custom gazebos. In the English-speaking world, regardless of location, a tent refers to a small structure that is highly portable. A shelter for camping, tents are meant to set up and be taken down in minutes. It is a temporary shelter that travels well and can accommodate people sleeping.

Like we have already seen, a marquee is a very large outdoor structure designed to house public gatherings of several hundred people. Unlike tents, marquees are often open-air without walls and take significant effort and time to erect and take down. They are not nearly as portable as tents. Like a gazebo, a pergola is an open-air, outdoor structure with vertical columns.

While it technically has a roof, the roof is never solid. In the United States, you will find gazebos and pergolas in gardens and backyards in equal measure. For all intents and purposes, they are basically the same structure. However, there are a variety of important considerations when deciding between a gazebo and a pergola. For English-speakers outside of the United States, the difference between gazebo and marquee is much more nuanced. It has to do with size and function.
