Choose the Right Tent for Your Event with Gala Tent

Gazebos:

Gazebos are smaller in size compared to marquees, with common sizes being 3m x 3m, 3m x 4.5m, or 3m x 6m. However, larger sizes are also available, with pop-up gazebos now reaching sizes as large as 4m x 8m. The covers of gazebos can be customised according to the user's needs. This customisation can range from a simple logo on the roof canopy to a fully bespoke printing job that aligns with the brand guidelines. There are two methods of customising a branded gazebo: vinyl printing and dye-sublimation. Vinyl printing involves heat-pressing artwork onto the stock covers of the gazebo, making it a fast and cost-effective method. Dye-sublimation, on the other hand, involves printing on PVC-coated polyester materials, which are then cut and tailored to fit the framework. This method allows for greater branding and customisation options but is usually more expensive. Accessories such as ground bars, flooring, flags, and half-walls can be added to gazebos to enhance their functionality and branding.

Marquees:

Marquees are larger structures that are suited for customers who require a touch of elegance and class, whether for home or commercial purposes. Erecting marquees requires more people and time compared to gazebos. They also require more effort to dismantle safely. Marquees tend to be cheaper in terms of cost per square meter, making them a popular choice for users on a budget. While marquees have more limited branding options compared to gazebos, customisation is still possible on the end walls above the doorway. In summary, gazebos are easier and faster to erect, better suited for businesses that require branding, and ideal for sole traders and small teams who need fast shelter. Marquees, on the other hand, offer a touch of elegance, are more cost-effective in terms of cost per square metre, and with maximum sizes of around 9m x 30m, are suitable for larger events and commercial purposes.
