Description
Overview
The Portable Marquee 3m x 3m is the square, entry size in a range that also runs to 3m x 4.5m and 3m x 6m. Its footprint suits a first-aid point, a results table at an athletics day or a small group sheltering between games.
Like the larger sizes it uses a one-piece commercial grade aluminium frame with no centre poles, so it goes up in a short time with no special knowledge. Folded, it stores standing and fits into most cars, which makes it the practical pick when one teacher or parent is doing the carrying. It is made to order. Compare all the sizes in marquees & shelters before you decide.
Key benefits
- Small enough to fit into most cars, so one person can transport it.
- Goes up in a short time with no special training required.
- Stores standing to save space in a school shed.
- Nothing in the way: no interfering centre poles under the canopy.
- Suits indoor and outdoor use, from hall prizegivings to the sideline.
Who it's for
Best for primary and intermediate schools, small clubs and event organisers who want a shelter one adult can put up, and for indoor use as a presentation or registration point. It is also the sensible first marquee: add a second later rather than buying bigger than you need.
If you regularly shelter a full team with its bags, look at the Portable Marquee – 3m x 4.5m. For a large squad or a sponsor presence, the Portable Marquee – 3m x 6m gives twice the length.
Care, safety and set-up
Made to order and delivered by freight, which we quote separately, so order well ahead of your event. Weight or peg the frame whenever it is used outdoors; sandbags and galvanised steel foot plate weights are optional accessories. The optional carry bags protect the roof and walls between uses.
Frequently asked questions
Is a carry bag included?
Carry bags are optional accessories listed under the add-ons for this marquee, not part of the base item.
Can we add walls later?
Yes. The 3m wide side wall and the clear PVC window wall suit this frame and can be ordered with the marquee or separately.
Can the school logo go on the roof?
Yes. A printed 3x3m roof and valance and a printed 3m wall are options. Send your artwork requirements when you request a quote.
Is it suitable for a school athletics day?
Yes. It is listed for athletics and coaching use, and the footprint suits an officials' table or a house tent.
