Here at JF Marquees and Marquee Hire recently we were very excited to have been given the opportunity to get involved with London Fashion Week.  We were approached by fashion designer Edeline Lee, who required a space in which she could showcase her brand new collection.  Edeline needed a marquee which ran alongside the rear terrace of Somerset House, exposing visitors to some fabulous views over the River Thames.

The marquee build was fairly straightforward, though we had to make sure the marquee was weighted as it was constructed directly onto the terrace.  However, the timescales were very tight, and we needed to ensure we could both build and then de rig the marquee very quickly.  This was a little tricky as we had limited access to the site, however our experienced team pulled it off and Edeline’s marquee was a success.

You can see from the image above how the structural nature of the marquee was emphasised by the layout, using a number of pods for models rather than the traditional cat walk/run way!  The lighting and sound has to be just right, and there needs to be plenty of space available for photographers and journalists as well as other guests.

It’s worth remembering that marquees aren’t simply for weddings and country fairs – they are so versatile that they can be used for all sorts of occasions.  As well as providing a stand along venue, they can also be incorporated into existing buildings, therefore extending the space which is already there.  Our marquee at London Fashion Week is a good example of this, as we were able to provide an extension of a stunning location, therefore helping to add much need space and functionality to the venue.

Our marquee heaters are installed and maintained by specialist heating engineers. They have researched and developed a market leading modern heater portfolio. The heaters are silenced equipment, barely visible within the marquee, with covers to discreetly sit outside the marquee and thermostatically controlled. They are a far cry away from the other available run of the mill marquee heating systems.

In order to keep you warm from our cool breezy summer nights, or keep the chill away from a brisk winter we thoroughly advise that you consider our recommendations.

Marquee Hire modern silenced heaters with low profile diffusers are a far cry from the usual run of the mill marquee heating; as a result they are perfect for winter marquee hire.

Marquees for sale are available in a range of sizes and a range of qualities. The better quality marquees use thicker steel framework (34mm upwards) and PVC covers rather than PE or poly/PVC. The weight of the PVC material used on the marquees (measured in gsm -grams per square metre) is an indication of the thickness but not the quality, the true strength of PVC comes from the inner core material before it is coated.

When looking to buy a marquee as well as looking at the materials used you should also look at the design and functionality of the marquee. With a good design additional bracing can make a marquee stronger eliminating the need for a thicker framework. Having interchangeable side panels can give much greater functionality so a marquee can be tailored for any site on which it is erected.
