- The width of the marquee tents varies between 10m, 15m, 18m and 20m while the length can be as portable as 25m or as long as 60m for an average event center or church. A marque tent can always be expanded to accomodate more sitters if the need arises.
How do i know the right tent size for a land?
- In Nigeria, the standard dimension for a plot of land is 703 sq meters. By implication, 2 plots of land is 1406 sq meters. For an average sized event center of church, assuming the client goes for a 525 sitting capacity, 525 sq meters will be used for the installation of the 525 seater marquee tent. The unused 881 sq meters can serve as office space, parking space, changing room and lavatory.
What is the time lag between placing my order and project execution?
- Once we receive a payment notification, we commence design and fabrication of materials. If the foundation for the proposed site is ready, installation will be promptly initiated but if otherwise, it will take a maximum of 6days to set up the foundation for the marquee tent. Our project timeline for the installation of a marquee tent is 3-6 days.

How can i identify a tent, temporary structure, marquee and canopy?
Tent – A tent is a temporary structure composed of a
covering made of a pliable membrane or fabric, supported by such
mechanical means as poles, metal frames, beams, columns, arches, ropes
and/or cables. Also referred to as a marquee, canopy or pavilion.
Tensile Structure – A permanent fabric structure that relies on the tensioning of the fabric roof for its structural integrity and shape. Also referred to as a tension structure or tensioned-membrane structure.
Tensile tent – A temporary fabric structure that
shares some characteristics with the pole-supported tent, but relies
more on the tensioning of the fabric roof for its structural integrity
and shape. The use of tensioned fabric to resist applied loads and to
shape the fabric membrane means less of a traditional support structure
is needed to maintain it.
Temporary structure – Any structure such as a tent
which will be in place for less than 180 consecutive days. Definition
may vary according to individual building codes.
Marquee – A marquee is a canopy projecting over an entrance or doorway or a connecting canopy between two tents.
Canopy – An architectural fabric projection that
provides weather protection, identity, and/or decoration and is
ground-supported in addition to being supported by the building to which
the canopy is attached. The term also can refer to a small tent, a
tent without sidewalls or an awning.

What tent size is best for my special event?
A tent size is usually determined by its usage. If a tent is being used for standard event purposes, at least should contain tables that will allow 10-12 square feet per person. If cathedral type seating is being used, there should be rows of chairs that will allow 6 square feet per person.

Hiring or buying a tent? Which is my best option?
The decision to buy or rent a tent has many variables. If the tent will
be used for 3 or 4 times each year, it is probably better to rent the
tent.
Professionals also have the tools, washing facilities, and storage
areas to maintain the tent when it is not in use. Your local rental professional often has long-standing relationships with the code enforcement officials, and other regulatory officials,
which can make renting the preferred choice. Renting will also allow
you to vary the color or size of tent according to your specific need.
Of course, if you will be using the tent for an event center, worship center, restaurant, canteen, disease containment center, workshop, store house, etc, it may be wise to purchase the tent.Always go for quality tents that will last, at least, for a lifetime.
