Marqee Fund

[PukkaSilvia]

As you are aware we have a fund going on for a new dogs bollox marqee as our current gazebo is having trouble when the weather gets bad.

Thanks again to S13eater and Jackiefan. Also Slimreaper just donated a cheque towards the fund too so we have 100 quid already. Im happy to donate whatever is needed also along with claire.

If anyone else wants to help out pm claire as she is looking after the club money in a seperate account.linked to her paypal.

Has anyone cme across a particular model that is suitable. Things to think about are the ground fittings and the diameter and gauge of the framework as our current gazebo bent and twisted in the storm last jae. Its still useable but a pain none the less. It needs to be vinyl not cottom canvas so that it can keep out the rain. . Ive seen a lot on ebay but its hard to see the construction,scaling and strength of them. If anyone fancies trawling through ebay aswell it would be great

Cheers

Dont mean to but in but how is this marquee going to be transported.
To get anything strong enough its going to use a clear span frame with apex roof.
Therefore a 3metre wide tent will have roof beams that are about 2 metres.
Plus pvc panels weigh a hell of a lot if they are of a decent thickness.
The biggest marquee we could carry in a 4 metre transit was a 3 metre by 9 metre and that was probably over the 3.5T weight limit.
As a side note I still have and will freely donate them 8 lighting units and 240V outlet setup if needed as long as the venue offers an electric hookup or if anyones got a portable genny.
As an alternative if anyone is handy at fabricating I still have roof panel that is 3 metres wide by 12 metres long that could be used to make a fair size marquee.

Might help your searches if you use 'marquee' as the correct spelling.
