What is the difference between a marquee and a frame tent?

Hiring extra space for your wedding, party, office, or event might leave you perplexed. The internet is flooded with coverage and add-on space options. You might have read about marquees, party tents, gazebos, peg poles, or stretch tents. But which one do you need?

So, if you are reading this blog post because you are lost and have no idea which one you are looking for, we understand. Below we aim to clear up the difference between these tents and hope to assist in deciding which outdoor structure is best for you.

What is a marquee?

Marquee tents are a hybrid variety of pole tents and frame tents. It is specifically designed to give you are the showiness of a high-pitched pole tent but allows the same benefits of installation from a framed tent. 

Marquees have heavier frames with higher apex rooves to allow the hanging of heavier items such as chandeliers.

They are highly wind-resistant, can be decorated with lining, can be set up with clear roofs, sides, and ends. Sizes range from small to exceptionally large.

What is a frame tent?

Frame tents have a roof-like structure built with tent poles that hold up the tent top. They are the better option for long-term installations as they have an exceptional wind tolerance. Another added benefit is that they do not require any center poles, freeing up square footage for unobstructed layouts.

What is a gazebo?

These tents are freestanding or attached to a wall, roofed, and open on all sides. They provide shade and shelter from the rain. These are lightweight units, not intended for permanent use.
