However, our True Blue range features frames crafted from powder-coated steel for added sturdiness. We offer two material options for the roofs, walls, and other accessories: polyester and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), each providing unique benefits to suit different needs and preferences.

Our marquees at Extreme Marquees are waterproof, ensuring that your guests and belongings stay dry. Our products are designed with different levels of water protection:
- Water-resistant marquees have tightly woven fabric that acts as a basic barrier against water penetration.
- Water-repellent marquees come with an additional coating, allowing water droplets to roll off the surface, rather than soaking through simply.
- Waterproof marquees provide the highest level of protection. They feature a more robust fabric and are treated with a durable water repellent (DWR) layer, capable of withstanding continuous rain.
With these varying levels, you can choose the perfect marquee to meet your specific needs for any event.
To ensure the longevity of your marquee, it's important to store it properly. We suggest keeping it in a dry, sheltered location, and always within its protective cover bag. It's a good practice to detach the roof from the frame before storing or transporting the marquee, as this helps prevent any potential damage. Additionally, after each use, make sure to clean your marquee and allow it to dry completely before putting it away. This simple care routine will help maintain your marquee in top condition for future events.

Setting up your marquee is a straightforward process, but it's important to follow these steps carefully for a safe and effective setup:
- Start by placing the gazebo at the centre of your intended setup area.
- Before unfolding, check the frame for any damage that might have occurred during transport and ensure all components are present.
- Find the “OPEN HERE” labels on the truss bars of the frame. Holding these bars, walk backwards to extend the frame to about 75% of its full open position. Be mindful of trip hazards and avoid applying excessive force.
- With one person at each corner, drape the roof over the partially extended frame, ensuring the corners of the marquee top align with the frame legs.
- Continue to move backwards slowly, fully opening the frame.
- Push upwards on the truss bars to lock the frame in place.
- Securely tighten the fabric using the tension straps.
- Finally, adjust the front and back legs to your desired height.
When it's time to dismantle your marquee, simply reverse these steps. Remember, it's recommended to have two people for the setup process to ensure safety and efficiency.
