Using Marquees for School Events

Marquees have always been a favourite among event and festival organisers, with dual benefits.  Not only to provide shelter at school events, carnivals, festivals and much more but they serve as an advertising billboard that can’t be missed. They’re comfortable during hot summer periods while keeping you dry during the rainy months. Whatever the outdoor condition may be, a marquee will keep you cool and comfortable whilst getting your advertising out there.

Since marquees are easy to set up, school events like carnivals, fetes and fairs are the perfect venues. School marquees open many marketing opportunities for companies during these events. They can print their company’s logo on the marquee while offering their products or services to the students and guests. In addition, marquees can be used all year round and at any time of the day.

Aside from the marketing opportunities these marquees offer, here are some more reasons why they are ideal for school events:

  • Marquees are easy to erect and take down. They feature telescopic legs and a pull pin locking mechanism for easier adjustments in height.
  • Modern industrial strength polyesters are used for the marquee’s roof tops and walls. These materials are more durable , and provides waterproof  protection as well as providing  more UV protection for its users. This is especially useful for children attendees.
  • Commercial grade aluminium frames act as support for the Portable Pop Up Marquee frames. The bracing on the heavy duty cross arms provide additional strength  on our frame, as our Marquees are designed to provide you  with the superior strength that you need for extended use of your marquee .
  • Schools have strict safety requirements for outdoor shelters. Good marquees are designed to prevent damage during demanding  weather conditions. The cross bracings on our marquees were designed to add strength to its structure, and when anchored with weights will protect your marquee from damage.
  • Marquees also come in different colours and sizes, making them highly customisable. You can chose a plain, unprinted fabric from our range of colours or digitally print your logo and wording, whether as a full digital print, a screen printed area or spot digital in certain areas only. The school’s logo ,name and mission statement, can be imprinted on a marquee, giving visitors a lasting impression.

The school’s staff and students need not worry about standing out in the elements. Setting up a marquee will ensure a happy, memorable and worry-free school event.

What to look for when you buy marquees

A marquee can be a great tool for businesses, organisations and individuals alike. Offering a space away from the sun and rain, as well as advertising materials to spread a message or brand, marquees can help designate an area for your business, make a space for food and drinks at functions, define a meeting space at school events and much more! However, before you go and buy the first marquee you can find, it is important to know what to look for.

If you are considering buying a marquee, take a look at these tips first:

Size

Before even looking at marquees to buy, it is helpful to know how big you need it to be! Measure the size of the area where the marquee will sit. This is especially important for businesses setting up at a convention or a marketplace as you will be limited with your space, so if the marquee is too big, you can’t use it and if it is too small, your space will not command the same respect.

Shade material

There are a few different marquee materials that can be commonly found, offering varying degrees of quality with different price tags. The two main types of material used are polyester and PVC.  PVC is heavy and bulky to handle  and should typically be avoided if you are considering portable pop up marquees. Polyester sits best in regards to quality and cost and is typically used in these applications. It is also very important to ensure that the material is waterproof and offers suitable sun protection.

Frame features

A good marquee will have tubes with a diameter of at least 40mm. Anything less can easily bend and break in windy conditions. It can also help to have adjustable legs to accommodate different heights and feet that can be secured to keep the marquee stable. Premier suppliers will also offer anodised frames to avoid corrosion.

Printing

A marquee isn’t just a practical piece of equipment, it is also a way to spread a message or advertise your brand. When looking to buy a marquee, it is also a good idea to look at their printing options. Check if the company offers more than one colour, if they use screen printing or digital (or both!), whether they can print multiple areas and what kind of quality the printing will offer.

Accessories and extras

Good marquee providers will offer a number of accessories, such as a storage bag, ropes, pegs and a rubber mallet. Other extras that may be included or available to purchase separately include leg weights, rain gutters, connectors and marquee walls.

Looking for a company that ticks all the boxes? Head to Portable Pop Up Marquees for all your marquee needs.

The many uses of a Portable Pop Up Marquee

Portable pop up marquees can offer instant shade for staff and guests, a way to spread awareness of your message or brand and a marketing tool for your company. Highly effective and easy to use, they are a great option for many businesses and organisations. Some of the most common uses for marquees include:

Conventions

Whether indoors or out, a marquee is a great way to identify a location for your brand and add valuable marketing space. Print your logo on the marquee roof , overhangs or add a wall for more advertising area. With simple storage and set up, prepping and clean-up is simple.

School and Club events

Many sports events and fetes for schools are hosted in the heat of summer, making it extremely hot and dehydrating. To keep visitors, competitors and organisers out of the midday sun, portable marquees make a great shade solution that is easy to put up quickly and take down at the end of the day. They can also be a reference point to guide students through events and sign up. This is also handy for sports clubs and sponsorships.

Parties

Hosting a big party outdoors? It could be the celebration of an engagement or a party for your anniversary – whatever the reason, a marquee is a great way to keep your guests and perishables out of the elements. It can also make a great backdrop, with half and full wall additions, perfect for cutting the cake or giving cheers!

Markets

If you have a small business and often sell your wares at various markets, it can help to have a space to “set up shop”. While some markets will offer a stall or tent to work in, many will not and this can look unprofessional. Instead, a compact, pop up marquee can offer a portable shop that shows off your wares and spreads the brand name.

Designing your Custom Printed Marquee (what to consider)

Businesses are always competing for the attention of their consumers and will do just about anything to distinguish themselves from the competition. Thanks to modern printing technologies, custom printed marquees have become effective mobile billboards. Marquees let businesses stand out from the crowd , they can easily been seen from a distance and will direct visitors to your location, while helping to spread their message or brand.  In addition, marquees also offer shelter and shade for guests, staff and participants.

It is important to leave a memorable and lasting impression on your visitors’ minds. Choosing the right design for your printed marquee will set you apart from the rest. Here are the important design points you need to consider:

Type of fabric

In the past, marquees typically used canvass canopies to provide coverage for resting spots. Today, polyester material is the preferred medium being used. These new materials are lightweight, easier to clean, maintain and are also ink-friendly.

It is important to be aware of the fabric and shape used when planning a custom design for your marquee. Study your design and research the best solution.

Digital printing

Screen-printing was once a popular method used to create custom marquees. However, this technique limited it to simple graphics and text as well as size. Advanced printing technology made it possible to produce materials with a greater range of colours and options.

Modern digital printers can easily produce images on larger areas. Digital printing offers a more permanent solution for your communication needs. Since the design is directly applied to the material or fabric, it cannot be removed.

Marquee print area

Aside from the custom design and graphics, the available print are on the marquee should also be considered. Below are the sizes of marquees and walls available:

  • Marquee sizes – 3m x 3m, 4.5m x 4.5 and 6m x 3m
  • Half wall sizes – 3m x 1m
  • Full wall sizes – 3m x 2m, 4.5m x 2m and 6m x 2m

The above-mentioned print areas are only examples and only apply to full digital print.

For screen printing or spot digital printing the print area available is reduced.

It is best to consult with Portable Pop Up Marquees when designing your custom marquee.

Marquee Accessories You’ll Need

Portable marquees are a must for almost any outdoor event. These shaded structures can be even more useful and attractive with accessories. Certain additions can improve the stability of your marquee or make it more eye catching to your target audience.

Below are some of the portable marquee accessories you’ll want to consider:

Marquee door and wall panels

Typically, marquees provide only a top covering with all four sides left open. For some branding events, this is often adequate. For others though, you may need to close off one or more sides. This is done to add more security or to allow for a certain type of lighting for product exposure.

Marque door and wall panels provide just this. Certain wall panels even have built in features, such as a mesh window to allow natural light and air inside. Others provide a waist high cover to allow full exposure on the inside while still keeping a secure barricade.

Typically, marquees provide only a top covering with all four sides left open. For some branding events, this is often adequate

Marquee weights

In order to provide stability for your marquee on different surfaces, weights can be attached to the legs of your marquee. Sand bags are a great option to provide this. The bags are filled with sand and wrapped around the poles.

Rubber leg weights are another type of weight accessory. They act as anchors on your marquee’s poles to keep the structure stable. Easy and effective, they sit at the bottom of the poke and can be easily slid on and off.

Marquee gutters

Marquee gutters prevent rain water from entering the interior. The gutter also acts as a connector for multiple marquees. This accessory can prevent leaks and water damage in between two or more marquees.

Marquee accessories are just as important as the marquee itself! If you are looking for high quality marquees and accessories, Portable Pop Up Marquees has you covered. Get in touch with a representative on 1300 658 619 to discuss your needs.

Benefits of using a printed promotional marquee for event branding

Marquees are effective tools in promoting your brand, especially during outdoor events. They provide a functional shaded area, while capturing significant attention with their designs. Below are some of the benefits in using promotional marquees for your corporate events.

Features an attractive design

The design of most marquees offers a professional and elegant look, available in different sizes and shapes. With the right lighting, you can even make a marquee standout at night. Working with a marquee provider, you can also design your message or brand on the marquee in a way that will best capture the attention of your target market. Marquees can make your brand stand out.

Unlike billboards or posters, marquees have three sides to showcase your brand. Your company name and logo becomes visible to foot traffic within the location and your target audience have a higher chance of encountering your brand in comparison to other conventional advertising methods.

Creates a unique venue

Marquees allow you to hold you’re corporate event in an outdoor area.  They are ideal for events outside, as well as trade shows, allowing you to construct your own personal and portable office or shop in minutes, creating an intimate space that is uniquely yours. Marquees also provide enough coverage during the sun and rain.

Allows for versatile uses

Marquees can be compared to blank canvases due to their versatility. They can also be tailored to your outdoor events. For example, flooring tiles can be added to prevent the attendant’s shoes from getting dirty. You can also add additional walls to create more hanging space and close off the marquee.

These structures can also be placed in different locations, from beaches and parks or concrete floors and exhibition halls. Because they’re portable, marquees are easier to relocate.

As you can see, marquees are a versatile and functional tool for any business. They’re also an efficient means in marketing your goods or services. If you are looking for one, consider Portable Pop Up Marquees to make your brand stand out. Call 1300 658 619 to have a representative help you find the right marquee for your next event.
