Marquees are a definite favourite choice of “location”

Planning ahead for the “big day”? While some people around the UK are filling their time checking the fridge for left-overs during the lockdown, we know that you have better things to do… what could be better than, during tough times, to have something to look forward to! Something to keeps your spirits up and your heart happy. So if this sounds like you, no matter what your “big day” event happens to be… DIY Marquees can still help you during lockdown!

Marquees are a definite favourite choice of “location” for many types of events and not only is a marquee adaptable physically, but you can practically place a marquee anywhere there is a flat piece of land. Adaptable is good because then you get to choose how your marquee gets to look so that it can match the purpose of the function that you are planning. Be it a wedding, 50th wedding anniversary, a bar mitzvah, bowls committee meeting, christening of your first grandchild or your daughters 21st birthday, there is a marquee to suit your needs. Worried about the size of the marquee and whether it will be large enough to accommodate your guests or dance floor? DIY Marquees has an marquee buyers guide and online planner which is interactive so that you can piece your marquee plan together BEFORE you go ahead and put your money down. There is no guess work involved when you buy a marquee from DIY Marquees because not only is the website packed full of solutions, options, dimensions, videos and more, but you can also talk to someone from DIY Marquees who has the experience to help provide you with the perfect solutions for the day.

For those in the entertainment industry who provide services which include event planning and catering, and who are sourcing the perfect Marquee catering tent addition for their business which will not only stand the test of time, but which is functional at the same time, the choice you make at the point where you purchase your catering tent will have a long lasting effect on your business. You need to be absolutely sure that your purchase is the right one. Don’t take the word of DIY Marquees for it… rather listen to the voice of those who have gone before you and who already have benefitted from the quality marquees which DIY Marquees provide.

Catering tents are a useful addition to your main marquee so that the food preparation area can be kept closed off from the main event ensuring that the guests do not need to see what is happening behind the scenes while the menu is prepared. In addition, dishes, glasses and cutlery can be whipped away into the catering tent for cleaning, during the event, with ease. For this purpose your partition plays a major role. DIY Marquee website diagrams illustrate the best way for this to be set up so that you don’t have prying eyes or disapproving stares as the chef prepares and packs away the meal.

How often do marquees need cleaning?

It depends on the frequency a marquee is used, the environment it is erected in, the material in question and the weather conditions but in general marquee hire companies will lightly clean a marquee nearly every time it goes up but do a thorough ingrained clean maybe twice a year.

By lightly clean I mean wipe down any marks or mud that may have splattered on to the sides, this can be done when the marquee is erected on site. By ingrained clean I mean using a power washer, a floor scrubber or brush and strong marquee cleaner product or getting a professional marquee cleaning company in. Ingrained cleaning removes the grey film that builds up on marquees over time.

There are three categories of dirt on a Classic DIY Marquee:

  • mud splatters or other marks on the covers. These can be removed by light cleaning
  • grey film that builds up over time, to be removed by an ingrain clean
  • dirt and residue from trees. If it rains when your marquee is under a tree a lot of dirt gets washed off leaves on to your marquee, there may even be some sap on there too. The dirtiest marquee I ever saw was one erected under a tree. These need ingrain cleaning immediately as they won’t be good enough to hire out and leaving sap on PVC would not be good.

Different marquee materials, different cleaning methods:

  • Canvas cannot be cleaned without removing it’s FR coating
  • PVC can be cleaned as above; good quality PVC (like ours) will have a laminate coating to make it easier to clean.
  • Clear PVC (window panels) must be cleaned very carefully so the clear material isn’t scratched.
  • Poly/PVC you have to be careful as the PVC coating is a single layer than can be scratched off with aggressive cleaning.
  • PE material can be cleaned similar to PVC though doesn’t have a laminate coating so will not come back as new.

The most important point of all – never put your marquee away when wet. A wet stored marquee will create mildew (PVC & PE) or may rot (canvas & the stitching in any stitched marquee).
