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.

is magp** spelt magpie or magpy?

Cheers though lol. Ive been getting 15+ pages of finds on ebay as it is under that spelling so never thought any different.

As for transporting it. No idea. It needs to be transportable. I dont see why it wouldnt be. Were only a small club. It just needs to be waterproof and be a decent gauge on the pipework

That last one is like a castle!!! Must be a sod to pack away too! Good find's though

Hate to think how heavy it would get in the wet!
