Description
Overview
The Portable Marquee 3m x 4.5m sits in the middle of our marquee range: longer than the square 3m x 3m and more manageable than the 3m x 6m. It is the size most clubs pick for a sideline base where a team, its bags and a table of drinks all need to stay out of the sun.
The frame is a one-piece commercial grade aluminium construction, so there are no loose parts to lose and no centre poles inside the footprint. Set-up needs no special knowledge, and the folded frame can be stored standing and carried in most cars. This marquee is made to order; see the full marquees & shelters range for the other sizes.
Key benefits
- Clear space under the canopy with no interfering centre poles.
- Quick set-up with no special training thanks to the one-piece frame.
- Stores standing, so it takes little room in a club shed.
- Fits into most cars for transport to away games and events.
- Custom printing turns the roof and walls into club or sponsor branding.
Who it's for
Choose this size for clubs that host home fixtures and want a sideline base for the whole bench, and for schools running athletics days where officials, results and gear need shade all day. It also works as a registration or promotional tent at tournaments.
If your group is smaller or one car has to carry everything, the Portable Marquee – 3m x 3m is the compact option. For a full squad plus supporters or a sponsor display, step up to the Portable Marquee – 3m x 6m.
Care, safety and set-up
This marquee is manufactured after you order and is freight-quoted because of its size, so plan ahead of the event season. Anchor it every time it is used outdoors; sandbags, galvanised steel foot plate weights and ground pegs are listed as optional accessories. Store it standing and pack the roof and walls in the optional carry bags to keep them clean.
